    Here are all of the Star Wars parody songs I know of. Weird Al is credited with a bunch, but he only did two. All the others are by unknown artists. Can anyone fill them in? Anyone know of any other SW parody songs? Anyway, here's what I have:

    Yoda - Weird Al
    The Saga Begins - Weird Al
    Darth Maul - ???
    I Wanna Be A Stormtrooper - ???
    Livin' La Vida Yoda - ???
    My Name Is...Darth Vader - ???
    Pretty Fly (For A Jedi) - ???
    Y-O-D-A (YMCA) - ???
    Star Wars Gangsta Rap - ???
    Star Wars Cantina - ???

    I think Livin' la vida Yoda was by Jimmy Fallon...

    Pretty fly (for a Jedi) wasn't by Weird Al but I'm pretty sure he was the one who first talked about it (he had to chose from two ideas : The Saga Begins and Pretty Fly...)

    I have "Pretty Fly..." and it says Weird Al, though the person I downloaded it from might have mis-labelled it.

    A lot of those SW songs (and other parodies)give credit to Weird Al, but he didn't have anything to do with them. On his official site it says this. He only made two SW parodies: Yoda, around 1983 or so, and The Saga Begins, released around opening day of The Phantom Menace.

    STAR WARS GANGSTA RAP is performed by Jason Brannon, written by Chris Crawford and Jason Brannon.

    STAR WARS CANTINA is by Mark Jonathan Davis.




    Side note: I love the fact that "Star Wars Gangsta Rap" is the first result when you search for "gangsta rap" on Google. :)




    Rick McCallum loves you!

    Yeah, I've had part of that SW Gangsta Rap get stuck in my head.

    "We got Death Star"

    It's also much more fun to sing the lyrics to Yoda while playing Lola on my guitar. (Sorry Ray.)

    "Well I left home just a week before,
    And I'd never ever been a Jedi before..."

    I seem to remember a song called "I have a crush on Darth Vader" that I'm pretty sure was meant as a parody.

    A quick google search shows that it was written by someone named Cali Rose.

    I also found this site which seems to have a list of a ton of SW songs.

    Very good site, with lots of info on tons of SW songs I've never heard of. Interesting that it doesn't mention Pretty Fly (For A Jedi) however. Anyone know who sings it? Also, is there a site where I can download those songs? WinMx doesn't seem to have the lesser known ones.

    There's a great parody album called "Christmas in the Stars" sung by some good impressionists of 3PO and R2. I thought it was real at first, then I realised Lucas isn't interested in selling out, and would never authorise something so tacky and lame.
