Lyrics

~~~~~!!!

I am 4EM, an entertainment maestro droid. I am hired out for various informal and formal occasions to entertain supper guests.

My repertoire is extensive.

I recently acquired a new ballad called "Sailing to the Karleian Atolls" for those visiting a resort world and enjoying the amenities.

Lando and Tendra had this ballad selected since it was their latest investment.

The lyrics captivated the Wraiths and the Rogues, and it resulted in much laughter and teasing.

Wes Janson and Hobbie Klivian boasted about the ladies they would win over, while wedge Antilles and Corran Horn just rolled their eyes and reserved bungalows for themselves and their life-mates.

They even were able to persuade Luke and Mara skywalker to join them for a much-needed vacation.

"Now that was a big hit." Tendra said, giving my dome a pat. "This was a great marketing idea."

Lando beamed proudly.

***

I have a small confession to make. One of the songs in my repertoire is quite unorthodox. I believe I will have to wipe it from my banks. Every time I feel a twinge of daring and play it, the effect is quite startling on the guests.

It was retrieved from a Rebellion era astromech and relates to a caf-maker?

Then there is the song praising the merits of Han Solo... that one also will have to be removed, although I did play it once for the Solos' anniversary party.

Han Solo was mortified, while the guests were completely astounded!

Whether with pleasure or consternation, I still cannot decide.

+++++

AN#2: The reference to the wacky astromech is courtesy of Raissa Baiard & more recently Ewok Poet Chopper has some interesting melodies

 

Fun with the astromech as the main character. No memory wipe

 

Bahahaha! I love that you included the song as a song and that it inspired some Rogue hijinks and some romantic get aways.

 

Ha, I recognised the Han Solo song from the book I actually didn't read. Do I win anything?

And that was a great use of Tendra's natural knack for business ideas, as well as my and Raissa Baiard's ideas.

 

Yeah, I laughed my butt off at the Han Solo song reference. Great work.

 

Of course Lando has an entertainment droid with an extensive playlist! (And why do I think that the GFFA equivalent of Barry White is on there somewhere? Oh yeaaaaah...) Very clever and devious marketing by Lando and Tendra, but if the Karleian Atolls are as picturesque as old Maui, I’m sure a good time was had by all. Even serious Jedi Masters need some sun and fun now and then!

I’m sure that 4EM did cause quite a sensation playing “Han Solo, what a man, Solo...” at the anniversary party. I get the feeling that song is for Han what the SW Holiday Special is for George Lucas, and he’d like to purge the Galaxy of every remaining copy. Does 4EM do the accompanying dance with Ewok Poet’s “Lothal Gal”? That would be startling indeed!

What a fun little story!

 

Almost as short as a haiku, but filled with a lot of fun. An excellent answer for the Shanty challenge!

 

This little ficlet had me grinning ear-to-ear throughout. Now I want to borrow 4EM for my droid collection!

Also, we need Mistress_Renata to read this. She's going to want to borrow 4EM too!

 

Yes, WarmNyota_SweetAyesha is remarkably prescient... I think I WILL want to borrow it, but only if you don't object. Lando's girls may have a use for him/her/it... I'm a little afraid of the Rogues' beach party!

 

Mistress_Renata I would love it, I'm laughing already.


And Chyntuck your droid drabbles was part of what got me thinking of a droid protagonist.
