i love PSB! Here's some Canadian content 4 U Yiann love


I NEVER SEE THE LIGHT
STILL I FOLLOW YOU
COULDN'T IMAGINE HOW
OR WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO DO
AH MAYBE I'VE BEEN CRAZY
ONLY THINKIN' OF YOU
I'LL DO IT AGAIN
THROUGH THE LONGEST NIGHTS
AND I KNOW THEM SO WELL
I KEEP FORGETTING MY PLACE
AND I STUMBLED TIL I FELL
SO EASY IT'S SO EASY
TO NEVER SEE THE TRUTH
DO YOU REMEMBER
I SAID TO GIVE YOU

EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
(I SAID) FOR YOU

AND SOMETIMES WHEN MY HEART IS SO COLD
AND YOU CUT ME OUT AND YOU'RE SO HARD TO HOLD
I KEEP SEARCHIN'
I WANNA GET THROUGH TO YOU
I KEEP ON SEARCHIN'
I WANT TO BREAK THROUGH TO YOU
AGAIN AND AGAIN

OH MAYBE I'VE BEEN CRAZY
ONLY THINKIN' OF YOU
BUT I'LL DO IT AGAIN
TO GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY SOUL
(I SAID) FOR YOU, AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN

GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
GIVE YOU EVERYTHING IN MY HEART
EVEN THOUGH, EVERYTHING IN MY SOUL
(I SAID) FOR YOU AND I'LL DO IT AGAIN

EVERYTHING IN MY HEART

Okay guys. Let's pump this up a notch and try filking it. For those not in the know, take a modern song and alter the words to fit SW (or other SF media).

OOOOOdalllllaaaaYYYy just for Yiann


Oh the world will sing of an English King
A thousand years from now
And not because he passed some laws
Or had that lofty brow
While bonny good King Richard leads
The great crusade he's on
We'll all have to slave away
For that good-for-nothin' John

Incredible as he is inept
Whenever the history books are kept
They'll call him the phony king of England
A pox on the phony king of England!

He sits alone on a giant throne
Pretendin' he's the king
A little tyke who's rather like
A puppet on a string
And he throws an angry tantrum
if he cannot have his way
And then he calls for Mum while he's suckin' his thumb
You see, he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known as John the First
He's sure to be known as John the worst
A pox on that phony king of England!

While he taxes us to pieces
And he robs us of our bread
King Richard's crown keeps slippin' down
Around that pointed head
Ah! But while there is a merry man
in Robin's wily pack
We'll find a way to make him pay
And steal our money back

The minute before he knows we're there
Ol' Rob'll snatch his underwear
The breezy and uneasy king of England
The snivellin' grovellin'
Measly weasely
Blabberin' jabberin'
Gibberin' jabberin'
Blunderin' plunderin'
Wheelin' dealin'
Prince John, that phony king of England
Yeah!

Come on, guys. A little imagination here. Kick it up a notch. Let's try filking the tunes; i.e. (for those of you unfamiliar with the term) pick a favourite tune and rework it with an SW theme.

I challenge you!

Filking is a fine con tradition, and likely the reason karaoke ended up being so popular as a pastime. happy

But since the challenge has been issued, I'd say karaoke of other people's parodies is fair game... so...

Steven Cavanaugh, that genius of the SW parody sone created this work of sheer retro genius. Enjoy!

Y.O.D.A (To the Village People's "Y.M.C.A")

(As sung by master Yoda, on meeting Luke Skywalker).


YOUNG MAN, I saw your ship come down. I said
YOUNG MAN, now it's muddy and brown. I said
YOUNG MAN, put your weapon away, 'cause I
*MEAN* *YOU* *NO* *HARM* *I* *SAY*
YOUNG MAN, There's no need to feel fear. I am
WONDERIN', tell me why are you here? How you
GROWIN', from this food on the plate, I say
*WARS* *DO* *NOT* *MAKE* *ONE* *GREAT*

You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
You must be here to see Y.O.D.A.
He's 900 years old!
He's so strong in the Force!
Do your Jedi Diploma course!

You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
Come and get yourself clean!
Come and have a good meal!
Pretty soon now, the Force you'll feel!

YOUNG MAN, you fell out of the sky, into
SOMETHIN' brown that smells like a sty, and this
TIN CAN started swimming and then, he got
*SPAT* *OUT* *LIKE* *SOME* *THROAT* *PHLEGM*
YOUNG MAN, Welcome to Dagobah. He is
COMIN', master Yoda not far. I'll be
HAVIN' this bright thing that ain't hot. It is
*MINE* *OR* *I'LL* *HELP* *YOU* *NOT*

You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
You must be here to see Y.O.D.A.
He's 900 years old!
He's so strong in the Force!
Do your Jedi Diploma course!

You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
You must be here to see Y.O.D.A
Don't just stand in the rain!
You're all covered with mud!
Come and sample my homemade crud!

OLD BEN, Are you listenin' to me? I can't
TRAIN HIM, he's so reckless you see! Like his
OLD MAN, he's so angry but brave! Betcha
*HE* *SCREWS* *UP* *AT* *THE* *CAVE*
YOUNG MAN, If you start will you end, or be
GOING, off to save all your friends? To be
TRAINING, needs commitment and work, if you
*WIMP* *OUT* *THEN* *YOU'RE* *A* *JERK*

You gotta stay here with Y.O.D.A
You gotta stay here with Y.O.D.A
You should stay here and train!
You don't have to save Han!
If you do so, you'll lose your hand!

You gotta stay here with Y.O.D.A.
(repeat and fade)

okay we see your challange and will consider whether to respond to it.

i the meantime we sing

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you ever seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know...

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though (we realise)
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go (do you know what I mean)

My weakness
You know each and every one (it frightens me)
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know...

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
But you know that I'd
Rather be home

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

it's Depeche Mode Yiann.

Hello lovely lady
Can I see you smile,
Catch it from the corner
Of my wandering eye.
Move a little closer,
Until you touch my sin,
You can be forgiven.
Of a story, laced within.
I know one day, oh now, you'll come in.
I know one night, you'll disappear.
What can I do, what can I say.
(chorus)
It's standing, push and fall
Oh that's all it is
I jump the gun each time you call
Standing, push and fall
Oh, that's all it is
I jump the gun each time you call
I stand, you push and then I fall
That's how it is, it's all the same
Praying wouldn't help me,
I say it on my knees,
Heaven's just an angel
For broken hearts to breed.
Webbed yourself around me
Tangled me with skin
Kissed me with your poison
Now here we go again.
I know one day, oh now, you'll come in
I know one night, you'll disappear
What can I do, what can I say.

What I'm listening to now:

I wanna heal I wanna feel
What I thought was never real
I wanna let go of the pain I've held so long

I wanna heal I wanna feel like I'm close to something real
I wanna find something I've wanted all along
Somewhere I belong...

UNA PALOMA BLANCA (one white dove)

When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun

I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
