*The Star Wars Songbook: RESURRECTED*

The Star Wars Songbook used to be a popular spot in Fan Fiction Resource for people to write and post filks about Star Wars. Sadly, it has fallen from the public eye into the proverbial thread abyss. This thread is v3.0 of it, which I hope will not fall into said abyss with the other two versions.

For those who do not know what the SW Songbook is/was, it's a thread for song parodies about Star Wars. Write a funny song, post it, and that's all there is to it.

 

you should PM Yodaknobi he has wrote a few beatles song parodies, they are posted on the beyound board.

Btw have u heard the star wars parody of american pie by 'Weird Al Yankovic'?

 

I remember the old thread but I never posted in it. Well I don't have aything funny but i did do a bit of a remake for one song so I suppose i'll post it here.

Don't Forget To Remember Me
(Original lyrics by Carrie Underwood)

12 years have come and gone
For Master they flew by
But for me they just drug on
We were loading up that fighter
Both tryin' not to cry
Master kept on talking
Putting off good-bye
Then he took my hand and said
Ani don't forget

Before you hit the spacelane
You better stop for fuel
There's some credits under the dashboard
In case you run short on cash
Here's a map and don?t f?get the code
In case you loose your way
Just one more thing before you leave
Don't forget to remember me

This far away planet sure makes me miss home
and the silence in the quarters
Reminds me I'm on my own
And just like every Sunday I commed Master up last night
And even when it's not, I tell him erything's alright
Before we hung up I said
Hey Master, don't forget

Tell my padawan sister I'll see her in the fall
And tell Padme that I miss her
Yeah, I should give her a call
Take care of yourself, Master and I'm still your little boy
Yeah I still feel like I'm where I'm supposed to be
Don't forget to remember me

Tonight I find myself sitting down to meditate
I haven't done this in a while
So I don't know how I?ll do but
Force I feel so small some times in this big ol' place
I know there are more important things, but
Don't forget to remember me

 

Well . . . I suppose I could hotwire this thing . . .

Er--I mean, these aren't exactly new, but they were never posted in the old Songbook thread. They passed for "entertainment" during past awards ceremonies . . . but that was a long time ago! I'm sure everyone's forgotten about that.

(Not sure *why* I'm channeling Han . . .)

"He Can Change"
(More or less to "I Can Change" from the South Park movie soundtrack)

LUKE: Some people say that he's a bad guy
They may be right
They may be right
But since he used to be a Jedi
He'll ditch the black
And join the light.

He can change, he can change
He'll learn to quit exploding people's planets
His heart will turn to mush from granite
Any minute he'll be Anakin again

Yes he can change, he can change
I know he's been a homicidal psycho
True, he's more machine than man
He likes to wheeze and cut off hands
But he can change!

It's not his fault that he's so evil
It's Palpatine, it's Palpatine
He was upset about his mommy
And Palpy off-red therapy.

But he can change, he can change
He'll learn to stop the strangling thing, I know it
Give him just one more chance to show it
Any minute there'll be good in him again

OBI-WAN: But what if he'll never change?
What if he remains a wheezy little Sith Lord?

LUKE: Hey, Obi-Wan! Don't be such a jerk
I know my cunning plan will work
On him.

Just watch. Just watch him change--here he goes, he's changing!

[Instrumental. A very strange animated sequence follows in which Luke grabs Vader's hand and they go skipping through the galaxy, flinging flower petals at village-destroying AT-AT's, slapping giant happy-face stickers over the faces of stormtroopers, and putting a bumper sticker that says "I heart my family" on the back of the Lady Executor.

Afterward they do a little may pole dance, and then for no reason at all Vader draws his lightsaber and cuts off Luke's hand. The instrumental music stops dead as they both stand there and look at the hand.]

LUKE: Uhhh . . . Obi-Wan?

Let the Wookiee Win
(to "Let the River Run" by Carly Simon)

Let the Wookiee win!
He'll pull your arms
Off if he doesn't.
I'd just give up now
and run.

He's not very good
At Yahtzee, chess,
Pool or Parcheesi
Sure, winning is easy,
But dumb.

You're asking for a beating
Whimp'ring, bleeding
I suggest conceding
Or you'll pay the trauma ward
An extended visit
Winning at a game
Isn't worth that, is it?!

That's not very nice--
He's crushed the dice
Between his fingers
It's no time to linger
For you.

I don't think he's faking--
Come run with me now
Or you'll bruise a color of black
You've never even seen
On the helm of Darth Vader
There'll be bones breaking

When you're in the ICU
Lying there in traction
Will beating him at Clue
Give you satisfaction?

Quit the macho thing
Give up your pride
To save your tushy
Or else you'll be gooshy
and flat.

You're going to get a bruising
If he keeps losing
I'd consider choosing
To throw the towel in
If you don't, I wonder
What games you can win
When you're six feet under?

Let the Wookiee win
Don't make that move--
Or you'll be hurtin'
Now you're doomed for certain,
you fool!!

 

OBI-WAN: But what if he'll never change?
What if he remains a wheezy little Sith Lord?

LUKE: Hey, Obi-Wan! Don't be such a jerk

 

Funny as these are, I found and bumped the old thread up, so I don't really think we need this thread.

I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread since Miana was kind enough to bring up the original thread.
