    I love The Doors! Awesome! My friend and I used to have a joke that Anakin kinda looked like Jim Morrison, so this brings back fond memories (if only SW had more Velvet Goldmine Ewan McGregor [face_love] action, but that would end the PG-13 rating right then and there).

    Here's a favorite Spamalot of mine you might like...

    The Quote that Goes Like This (The Song that Goes Like This from Spamalot)
    Sung by Obi-Wan/Ewan McGregor and Anakin/Hayden Christensen

    OBI-WAN:
    Once
    In every film
    I have a quote like this
    I say it to myself
    Oftentimes when I'm pissed
    Oh where
    Is the quote that goes like this
    Where, where?
    ANAKIN:
    A re-occurring quote
    That casts a magic spell
    They'll all follow along
    We'll overact like hell
    Oh this
    Is your line
    That goes like this
    BOTH:
    Yes it is
    Yes it is
    Yes it is!
    OBI-WAN:
    Now we can move on
    Past this annoying song
    Into
    The part
    With Palpatine
    ANAKIN:
    I'll say it in your face
    Slash fans want us to embrace
    BOTH:
    But then
    We change
    The scene
    OBI-WAN:
    Now don't you get killed?
    Whoops, that happens in 3 films
    ANAKIN:
    You spoiled the whole thing
    Why do I let you sing?
    BOTH:
    Doing the line
    That goes like this
    ANAKIN:
    Why in lines you have way more?
    GEORGE LUCAS/WRITERS:
    Because he's 34.
    ANAKIN:
    This is why I'll never act
    Besides the talent that I lack*
    BOTH:
    Doing the line
    Takes too much time
    ANAKIN:
    We'll be rehearsing till dawn
    OBI-WAN:
    I'll wish I wasn't born
    GEORGE LUCAS/WRITERS:
    Let's end this goshdarn quote
    Before our heads explode
    BOTH:
    The line
    Always ends
    Like...
    THIS Hayden hits extremely high note, causing GL's head to explode


    *Hayden Christensen, IMO, is an extremely talented young actor. This is a PARODY, folks. It is not meant to be taken seriously or as a reflection of my personal opinions on the actors in these films. BTW, if you thought he wasn't so good in Eps 2 and 3, see Shattered Glass. He's amazing. Just wanted to put in this clarification.


    You might know this one...

    Smells like Teen Jedi (Smells like Teen Spirit, by Nirvana)

    I have big guns
    And a girlfriend
    To be a knight
    I like to pretend
    Be a Jedi
    It's really hard
    But I'll train well
    And go far

    Oh no (6x)

    CHORUS
    Well I'm angsty
    And outrageous
    My attitude
    Is contagious
    A lightsaber
    Obi-Wan
    Don't say I'm wrong
    Yeah!

    My mom is dead
    Well, who's to blame?
    Tuskens, Obi, they're all the same
    I can't think straight
    Chained to a post
    Tried to rescue him
    Now we're toast

    We're doomed (6x)
    CHORUS

    Fighting Dooku
    My arm was lopped
    But Yoda made the pillar stop
    All of the fans
    Screamed and cheered
    But not for me,
    Or so I hear

    Yo-da (6x)
    CHORUS

    Dost thou approve?

    Ewan McGregor (Paperback Writer by the Beatles)

    Ewan McGregor (Gregor, Gregor)
    Hey George Lucas
    Would you read my lips
    Without Obi-Wan you'll be in the chips
    If you're looking for a good guy for the role
    He's got talent, so might I suggest Ewan McGregor
    Ewan McGregor!

    CHORUS:
    Ewan McGregor (Gregor, Gregor)

    He's got the talent, he can dance and sing
    He won't need a stuntman to do anything
    He's 5-11 which is kinda short*,
    But even still you should cast Ewan McGregor
    Ewan McGregor!

    CHORUS

    In Velvet Goldmine he played Iggy Pop,
    But Moulin Rouge! sent him to the top
    He's really cute when he has spiky hair
    Despite the fact he had a mullet
    He's still Ewan McGregor
    Ewan McGregor!

    CHORUS

    How good things are now he's in the world
    If he weren't hitched he'd get lots of girls
    I really wish he were in love with me
    But that won't happen
    'Cause he's Ewan McGregor
    Ewan McGregor!

    Ewan McGregor (Ewan McGregor)
    Ewan McGregor (Ewan McGregor)
    Ewan McGregor (Ewan McGregor)


    *OK, I'm 5 feet, so compared to me he's pretty tall. Compared to Liam Neeson, who's 6' 4", he's pretty darn short. It's all relative.


    Pastries Are a Girl's Best Friend (to the tune of Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend, as sung by Leia)

    Jedi are bred to not know love
    They love games of high stakes
    But I prefer a man who loves
    And buys me lots of cakes

    A barrette in the hair may be quite terrestrial
    But pastries are a girl's best friend
    A ponytail may look good but it's not so celestial
    Like danishes on your ears, or a bun that's awfully fierce
    Men go gay as girls grow gray
    We all will go bald in the end
    But, croissant, donut-shaped,
    These dos won't lose their shape
    Pastries are a girl's best friend

    Cinnabon! Krispy Kreme!

    Talk to me, Dough Boy, tell me about it!

    There may come a time when a girl don't feel super
    But pastries are a girl's best friend
    When her rescuer's a really short stormtrooper
    Who thinks your hair is kinda strange
    But keep your hair up, always show him your stuff

    He's your bro, but he's got "dough"
    But beware when he descends
    'Cause when dad does homicide he'll go to the Dark Side
    But pastries
    Pastries
    I'm not talking low-carb
    But pastries
    Are a girl's best
    Friend

    Ahh, I'm loving these - especially "Aayla" and of course the "Revolution" one.

    Went to all 3 nights of Dave Matthews Band at the Gorge a couple weeks ago :), so:

    Darth Vader (to the tune of "Smooth Rider" off of Stand Up)

    As sung by Obi-Wan to Padme

    Sit down, poor thing
    'Cause I got some dreadful news to bring
    Now could you answer just one question for me?
    Blue eyes,
    6'1",
    Ani AKA "the chosen one"
    Do you have an idea where he could be?

    Because he's Darth Vader, baby
    You know he went and joined the Sith
    Don't know why he wanted to be with
    The Darker Side
    I guess it was his foolish pride
    Because he's Darth Vader

    How I wished that I was dreamin'
    When I heard those younglings screamin'
    Your man get crazy with that Force chokin' hand
    Fell for some plan Palpy hatched and
    Now he's got to be dispatched and
    Yoda thinks that I'm just the man for the job

    Because he's Darth Vader, baby
    You know our little Ani's gone
    After all those nasty things he done
    He can't come back
    Looks like he's stuck with basic black
    Because he's Darth Vader

    Here's something new...

    (Based on the Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy)

    The Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy

    He was a gifted slave'ry boy out on Ta-a-tooine
    He had a way of racing pods no one had seen
    He could not beat Sebulba's craft
    But then the Jedi came and he made not a gaffe
    He's with the Jedi now, training real keen
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    They would not let him train with Qui-Gon Jinn
    It really brought him down that he couldn't get in
    The Council seemed to understand
    Because soon after that they' went and reversed their hand
    And now the council jumps when he grins a smile
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddelyada-toot
    He sees difficult missions, with Obi-Wan
    He sees a vision terrible and it will haunt him way, way past dawn
    And now the council jumps when he grins a smile
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    He was our Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatoooine
    And when he's out on a mission see it really can get incredibly mean
    And when he jumps he makes our Obi-Wan jump up with a fright
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    A-toot, a-toot, a-toot-diddelyada-toot
    He sees difficult missions, with Obi-Wan
    He sees a vision terrible and it will haunt him way, way past dawn
    And now the council jumps when he grins a smile
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    He slips out every evening, nearly every night
    And gets back in the morning in the early bright
    They cross their hands and stomp their feet
    Because they see how he looks like a cat up in a heat
    Pretty soon he will have a young family
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
    Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
    Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da da
    Da-doo-da da-doo-da-da
    And now the council jumps when he grins a smile
    He's the Chosen ex-slave Jedi boy from Tatooine

    These are all hilarious! Awesome job, guys! As always, I have a few more up my sleeve:


    Girls Are in Love With Han (Girls Just Wanna have Fun by Cyndi Lauper)

    When we're watching Star Wars Ep 4
    All the girls in the room are screaming for more
    They're wearing gold bras and their hair is in buns,
    'Cause girls, they're in love with Han
    Oh, girls are in love with Han

    He's caught by Jabba, they practically died
    He came out all wet, and they passed out and sighed
    This horde of fangirls is a phenomenon
    'Cause girls, they're in love with Han
    Oh, girls are in love with Han

    They want
    That Han
    You can tell all your friends
    But don't tell your mom that
    Girls, they're in love with Han
    Oh, girls are in love with Han

    Is Harrison Ford a good Indy Jones?
    Just ask his fans, they see it in droves
    We can be sure his next movie won't bomb
    'Cause girls, they really love Han
    Oh, girls just really love Han

    They just love Han (6x)


    Colors of my Hair (Colors of the Wind, from Pocahontas, as sung by Ewan McGregor to the hair people)

    You think I don't know about hair care
    And you've done so many styles
    I guess it must be so
    But still I ask you why
    Why again my hair is dyed?
    How can my hair take one more job?
    One more job?

    You think you own whatever hair you're handed
    A canvas for you to pour dye on
    But I know that the fans will prob'ly notice
    When my hair goes from brown, then to red, and then to blond

    You always ask the makeup people
    To tell me that my hair will never change
    But if you look at all my photos
    You can tell the color change is kinda strange

    Have you ever seen a Jedi
    Who'd dye his hair?
    Or wear his mane in a mullet?
    I need to sing loud enough to split a mountain
    To show you the colors of my hair
    Can you stop with all the coloring of my hair

    Just let it be monochromatic
    At least you can just hide my roots
    And roll it round a curling iron
    Keep in mind, I'll wear this with a suit

    Hayden mocks me for my gray wig
    Did Alec ever wear a dumb hairpiece?
    If only you could see that I look silly
    If this were crime, I would call the police

    How much gel will you slather?
    If I cut it off, we won't have to know
    And I'll never have to wear a stupid braid,
    Or let it grow in a mullet
    I'll never dye my hair another color
    'Cause I'm happy with the color of my hair
    I could go bald and still
    You would be a pest
    Until you could toy
    With all the colors of my
    Hair

    And still more...


    The Jedi Man (The Candy Man from the '70s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)

    Who can use the Force
    And head to Tatooine
    And find a little boy who will doom the galaxy?
    The Jedi man
    The Jedi man can

    CHORUS:
    The Jedi man can 'cause
    He fights for peace and love
    And uses the Force for good

    Who can fight Count Dooku,
    Although he's short and green
    And make Ep 2 every nerdy fanboy's dream?
    The Jedi man
    The Jedi man can

    CHORUS

    Who can face Darth Vader
    His brother and his chum
    And leave him in the lava and turn both his arms to stumps?
    The Jedi man
    The Jedi man can

    CHORUS

    Who will meet his father
    Who's not the nicest guy
    And remove his mask
    And watch the poor man die
    The Jedi man
    The Jedi man can

    CHORUS


    Become a Jedi (Good Riddance/Time of Your Life by Green Day)

    Another turning point
    My ship stuck in the mud
    A funny-looking guy says I have
    Jedi blood
    I'll do my best
    With this test
    And stop the war
    It's not an option, but a mandate less or more

    CHORUS
    This Yoda's so insufferable
    But in the end he's right
    I hope that I'll become a Jedi

    I'll eat his fungus soup
    And resist the Dark Side
    It'll come in handy when
    From lightning bolts I'm fried
    He talks backwards and makes me
    Undergo the trials
    For what it's worth, this was
    Pretty worthwhile

    CHORUS (2x)

    Thanks, guys! I'm working on one about Boba Fett to the tune of "Lola" by the Kinks (it was done as "Yoda" by Weird Al), and another one using "Hollaback Girl" by Gwen Stefani. They'll be up here pretty soon, but I still have to work on finding something that rhymes with Boba. :confused:

    I've got the "Hollaback" one done, as well as a musical number you might know, and a "gritty" rap one you'll probably recognize.

    JediKnight Girl (Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani)

    Uh huh, he's a Sith
    All the council stomp your feet like this

    CHORUS
    Few times I've been round the block
    But this whole Dark Side thang's gotta stop
    Or you ain't no Jedi Knight, girl
    You ain't no Jedi Knight girl

    He's a Sith (ooo-oooh)
    He's a Sith, he's a Sith

    I heard that you were going Sith
    And you didn't think that I would hear it
    Goin' in the temple gettin' all the younglings killed off
    So that's right put your saber down, get ready to fight
    I'll take you out
    Kick you in the lava pit, hurt you bad, gettin' you all burned up

    CHORUS

    So that's right, let's duke this out
    No Palpatine, no Wedge Antilles
    You wanna be another Sith padawan
    'Cause there can only be one
    But I'm gonna fight, I'll decide your fate
    I'm getting so caught up

    CHORUS

    He's Sith
    Not Organas
    O-R-G-A-N-A-S! (2x)

    CHORUS

    I had to add the extra letter to Organa just so it could work with the song, but otherwise I tried to stay true to everything.

    If I Were a Sith Man (Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof, as sung by Palps before he went Sith)

    If I were a Sith man
    Dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do
    And all day long I'd la de da de dum
    If I were a Sith lord man
    I'd give in to my anger
    Dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-dooby-do
    If I were a dooby-dooby-Sith
    Dooby-dooby-dooby-Man
    I'd be a fearsome foe with the most awesome comebacks
    And incredible power
    With force lightning and a lightsaber too
    And I'd talk of my master for hours
    I'll make all my enemies scared; they'll be like poodoo!
    I'd fill my life with hate, evil, and destruction
    For all the Jedi to hear
    Every muahahaha and feel the dark side
    As if to say, "Hear comes the Sith Lord man!"
    OY!

    Anakin's Rap (Original, but inspired by the Beastie Boys)

    Hand on my saber, no Jedi greater
    My ride is more sick than the lungs of Darth Vader
    I have a cool job, stopping Sith Lords' wrath
    I'm a skinny homeboy, but my moves are phat!
    Flying through space, in your face
    At the age of nine I was a flying ace
    Now, Obi-Wan says I'm the chosen one
    I can concur 'cause I get all the huns
    They like my style, they like my beats
    I get way more a** than a refresher seat
    I rap battled Dooku when my homies could not
    My hormones were flying, my mood running hot
    But because Tyranus made my hand naught
    You know A-Skizzle can do the robot!
    Anakin does Robot

    New song!

    Obi-Wan Told Me (Somebody Told Me by the Killers as sung by Luke, Vader, and Blue Ghostie Obi)

    Luke:Cut off my hand, now that wasn't cool
    Cling to a pole 'cause I've had it with this duel
    Cut off my hand now that wasn't cool
    'Cause everything falls in a place like this

    Obi-Wan:Use the Force Luke use the Force Luke tonight (woo-woo)

    Luke:Never thought I'd be the son of Darth in my whole life
    CHORUS:
    'Cause Obi-Wan told me
    He killed my father
    It made me so bothered
    That I blew up his Death Star Station
    Last year, and now we're related, it's made
    Me so jaded

    Darth Vader:Lukey, let's talk and then you'll see
    You'll be the best Sith Lord if you just come with me
    If you're not gonna fall then I'll get your sis
    If you won't fall then I'll get your sis

    Obi-Wan:Use the Force Luke use the Force Luke tonight
    Never thought I'd let my Ani away from the light

    Luke:CHORUS

    Darth Vader:Give yourself to me (to me)
    I said sonny, honey, please
    Come to the Dark Side (sonny, honey)

    Luke:Well all this makes me want to whine

    Fine. Nobody's posting :_|, so I'll just put up my new song.

    Rock Me Amidala (Rock Me Amadeus by Falco)

    Rock me rock me rock me rock me Amidala
    Come rock me all the way to Ep 4

    She was Naboo's queen when she was just 14
    The trade blockade and Palpatine
    Thought she was naive and innocent
    But she wasn't so
    She beat their little tushies
    Come and rock me Amidala

    CHORUS:
    Amidala Amidala Amidala
    Amidala Amidala Amidala
    Oh oh oh Amidala
    Come and rock me Amidala to me!
    Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
    Come and rock me all the way to Ep 4

    Ten years went by now she's a Senator
    No plastic headresses to wear anymore
    She fell in love with Anakin
    And then they got hitched and he said
    Rock me Amidala!

    CHORUS

    She was so beautiful
    'Cause she was so in love
    But she refused to join the evil Dark Side club
    So she had Luke and Leia
    And before she died
    "There is still good in him"
    To Obi-Wan she sighed
    And the twins cried out
    'Cause they wanted their mom
    And here's what they said, they said
    Rock me Amidala

    CHORUS 3x

    That song was really hard to do, since it was in German and I was going by rhythm and rough rhyme scheme alone. Please comment!

    Just wrote this new one. I knew I had to write it the minute I heard it. The band is kind of obscure, but I hope you enjoy it all the same:

    Obi Kenobi (Rippy the Gator by Arrogant Worms)

    Anakin Skywalker went out to Mustafar
    To 66 the Separatists as the Dark Side's newest star
    When his former master came, he thought he'd do no harm,
    But when he left the planet he needed a new arm
    CHORUS:
    'Cause Obi Kenobi went
    Chop chop chop
    Obi Kenobi went
    Chop chop chop
    Passing the time by ending Sith Lords' lives
    So he can make the evil
    Stop stop stop
    Ani and his master fought on the burning sand
    But Ani missed a block because he was short a hand
    The saber swung at his right knee, and poor Darth Vader slumped
    When he tried to stand back up, all that left was a stump
    CHORUS
    Padme saw her husband, and tried to stop the fight
    But no matter what she tried he shunned away the light
    He grabbed his wife's esophagus, she felt like she was stuck
    When Ben Kenobi intervened, Ani's arm was out of luck
    CHORUS
    Obi-Wan Kenobi had swung and slashed and stabbed
    But his former padawan continued to brag
    So the heroes battled until the morning light
    But when Ani was finished he was less than half his height
    CHORUS (2x)
