The Star Wars Songbook

Oh, those were great, Discorpor!

Here's one, to the tune of "I Will Survive" (obviously)

I Won't Survive, as sung by Ben to Luke, as they land on the Death Star:

When I was still your age
A greenhorn young Jedi
Cutting down those battle droids
My master by my side
Oh yes we trusted in the Force
We never chickened out or fled
Qui turned his head
And looked me in the eye and said,
"Hey Obi-Wan
You know the Sith?
I think we're looking at one now
He's not some kind of myth
I sure do hope I taught you well
I hope you'll make a noble knight
Because I've got a nasty feeling
That I might not live through this fight

Come on, let's go
Throw down your cloak
Whip out your saber
And we'll go duel that tattooed bloke
I warn you padawan
That this might be goodbye
I just might stumble
I might get run through and die
Oh no, not I
I won't survive
You will live to train the Chosen One
I know you'll stay alive
You've got all your life to live
But my life for the cause I give
I won't survive
I won't survive
Hey hey"

I watched the Old Republic slowly fall apart
And then I dueled my old student down on Mustafar
And I spent so many nights
Just hanging out on Tattooine
But then you came
With that message from what's-her-name
And so I'm back
In outer space
Where's Alderaan now?
Nothing but rubble in its place
Darth Vader knows we're dropping in
You can expect him to be free
And I am guessing I'm a fellow
He will not be glad to see

Go on go now
Get your princess
Just tell the postman
There's no "Old Ben" at my address
I warn you Luke my friend
That this might be goodbye
So please don't grumble
If I should happen to die
Oh no, not I
I won't survive
I know you'll save the Rebels, Luke
I know you'll stay alive
You've got all your life to live
But my life for the cause I give
I won't survive
I won't survive
Hey hey...

 

That was fabulous, raisedbywolves! I hear that song at every single Bar Mitzvah I attend. Perhaps a fitting tune for Qui-Gon's funeral? Keep up the good work!

PS: I'm working on "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "Girl on the Death Star" to the tune of "Rock Show" by Blink-182

 

Arrogant Worms!!!

Great job!!

 

I loooooooooooooooove "That tattooed bloke".

 

I'm currently bouncing around a few ideas for additions to this list. My current preferred choice is a parody of Jay-Z's "99 Problems" that will utilize the line "I got 99 problems but a Sith ain't one"...

I'm having a bit of a time working around the profanity while still keeping the same sort of rhythm. I mean, it's still gotta be authentic.

The others I'm debating about doing are all hip-hop, too, thanks to my current obsession with the style...

 

Cool idea, CrazyRodian. I've heard of a 99 Problems parody done as 66 Orders (but a Sith ain't one), but I bet you can make it even better than that one. Battle Hymn of the Republic is coming along nicely, but now I have a new filk that will be posted shortly. BIG HINT: It's to the tune of a famous Beach Boys song!

 

This great! I am going to come up with a good one.

 

'Til My Daddy Blows My X-Wing Away (Til Her Daddy Takes the T-Bird Away by the Beach Boys)

Well I've got a brand new ship
Cruising towards the reactor core now
I forgot about my feelings
So I don't know what's in store now
With my guns all a-blasting
S-Foils in attack position

CHORUS:
And I'll have fun fun fun
Till my daddy blows my X-wing away

Shooting at the imps all night
'Cause the Rebels are the best, yeah
The Force is with me
Just like Yoda and the rest, yeah
Gotta blow up the Death Star
Make it like Alderaan

CHORUS (3x)

And another Golden Oldie:

Millenium Falcon (Greased Lightning from Grease)

A hyperdrive that's the fastest in the galaxy
Keep talkin', Whoah keep talkin'
Two plasma cannons can be manned by that Luke kid and me
Give me the money, you better give me money
We'll go in hyperspace, put Darth Vader in his place
But it's all poodoo if you don't give me my dues
The Falcon!

CHORUS
Millenium Falcon you're burning through the asteroid field
(Go Falcon! Go go Falcon!)
Millenium Falcon you're more than just a hunk of steel
(Go Falcon! Go go Falcon!)
She ain't no junk, you farmboy punk
The Falcon!

Hidden compartments so I can drop off all of Jabba's spice, oh yeah
Hanging in cantinas 'cause the bounty hunters aren't nice, oh yeah
With her extra special mods and her silvery paint job
Though I'm a scruffy looking herder, this ship will convert her
The Falcon!

CHORUS (2x)

 

Revenge of the Sith (We Are All On Drugs by Weezer)

When you talk with your friends
'Bout what happens in the end and you're
A Sith
And you bring your cloak to school,
'Cause you think it's really cool and you're
A Sith
And you talk on your comlink
Cause your cellphone really stinks, 'cause you're
A Sith
Give it to me!

CHORUS:
Revenge of the Sith, yeah
Always standing in line (standing in a line)
Revenge of the Sith, yeah
Wait for the Mustafar fight (woot!)

And you twitch in your seat
To John Williams' phat beats and you're
A Sith
And you need a kleenex fix
During Order 66 when you're
A Sith
And you say you're spoiler-free till you get the DVD
'Cause you're
A Sith
Give it to me!

CHORUS

I want to see it every day
Star Wars will never be the same

CHORUS (3x)

 

Okay... now for something completely different. I was dared to write something about Watto... this is the result

***

I Won't Survive [tune: I Will Survive] (as sung by Watto to Anakin)

First I was afraid
I was stupified
Kept thinking I could not be cheated
by some sly Jedi
But I spent so many nights
Thinking how you were too strong
I knew then
You would've left me 'fore too long
And so you're back
From outer space
You just walked in to find your mom
with that sad look upon your face
I should have sold you like your mom
I said I sold your momma Shmi
I sold her to a farmer
So don't come and bother me

Go on now go walk out the door
just turn around now
'cause you're not welcome anymore
weren't you the one who won the Race to say goodbye
I said she's married
I thought you knew, you big Jedi!
Ah, well, but I
I won't survive
As long as I had you here
I knew I'd stay alive
I might need some help from you
With some deadbeats, ain't it true?
and I won't survive
I won't survive

It took all the parts I had
not to fall apart
kept trying hard to mend
the pieces of a broken pod
and I spent oh so many days
just a mending an old droid
I used to cry
But it just rusts the parts up high..
and you see me
my hat ain't new
You're not that chained up little person
That we both once knew
and so you felt like dropping in
and just expect me to be free
now I'm saving information
for someone who's helping me!...

 

I've been waiting for a song about Watto for quite some time, ShrunkenJedi! He's got so much potential. You've inspired me to work on one about him!

 

It's a Small Galaxy
("It's a Small World" by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman)

VADER:
I'm your father, Luke - you know that it's true
And that Princess Leia's related, too
By the way, did you know
That I built Threepio?
It's a small world after all

CHORUS:
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

VADER:
There's a billion stars in this galaxy
But we keep returning to two or three -
Coruscant, Tatooine,
And the few more we've seen -
It's a small world after all

CHORUS:
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

 

Bumping this up.

 

Well Iposted this in the "new" thread but i just as might repost it in the original thread since it's been found.

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

 

Here's my latest offering:

Baba O' Vader (for lack of a better title)
to the tune of Baba O' Riley by The Who

Out here in the stars
My life's pretty hard
I need a mask to keep on living
I know that I'm right
I renounced the light
I know my deeds won't be forgiven

Don't try, join the Dark Side
It's only Rebel Wasteland

Palpy take my hand
We'll search the far-off lands
The Rebel Alliance can't hide from us forever
I sense my son is here
In him the Force is clear
We'll duel with our sabers until our hands are severed

Rebel Wasteland
It's only Rebel Wasteland
Rebel Wasteland, oh yeah
Rebel Wasteland
They're all wasted!

 

Oh, dear . . . I *hope* the Rebels aren't all wasted . . . although that would explain "Jedi Rocks" . . .

I don't quite know why I wrote this, but I did.

Mary Sue
(More or less to "Peggy Sue" by Buddy Holly)

If you knew Mary Sue
You?d lose half of your IQ
To Mary, my Mary Sue
Oh, please save us, girl
We?re so dumb compared to you

Mary Sue, Mary Sue
How do you do the things you do?
You?re a Jedi, and a Sith too
That?s not a problem, girl
?Cause we love you, Mary Sue

I need you, Mary Sue
Though I don?t know why I do
Oh Mary, my Mary Sue
You?re kinda boring, girl,
But I love you, Mary Sue

Mary Sue, Mary Sue
Pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty Mary Sue
I love your white hair, and gold eyes too
Oh?and your demon wings,
And your halo, Mary Sue

Aren?t you blue, Mary Sue?
Your childhood was so tragic, too
My Mary, my Mary Sue
You?re so heroic, girl,
To just ignore it like you do

I?ll be true, Mary Sue
If OOC turns to AU
My Mary, my Mary Sue
I?ll still love you girl
Just because you?re Mary Sue.

 

Great tribute, Ophelia! I've caught the classic rock bug, and I've got this gem to offer:

X-Wing Wizard
Parody of Pinball Wizard by The Who

Ever since I was a young boy
I've flown the orange thing
From Hoth on down to Yavin
They've felt my laser sting
But I ain't seen nothing like him
He comes from Tatooine
That moisture farm kid
Sure flies a mean X-Wing

He sits like a statue
Becomes part of the machine
Feeling all the controls
Always flying clean
He uses just his feelings
Knows what the Imps will bring
That moisture farm kid
Sure flies a mean X-Wing

He's an X-Wing wizard
He does another twist
An X-Wing wizard
He's got such a supple wrist

How do you think he does it?
(I don't know)
What makes him so good?

He ain't got no distractions
Can't hear those lasers and shouts
Don't see lights a flashin'
He knows what it's about
Always gets a good shot
Never missed a thing
That moisture farm kid
Sure flies a mean X-Wing

I thought I was
The Best Rogue Leader king
But I just handed
My authority to him

Even on my usual route
He can beat the best
Han and Chewie lead him in
And he just does the rest
He's got crazy rapid fingers
Never seen him dinged
That moisture farm kid
Sure flies a mean X-Wing

 

I Need a Beta to the tune: "Holding out for a Hero" by Bonnie Tyler


Where have all the readers gone
Why don?t they read my tale?
Where?s the faithful followers
To make my spirits sail?
Isn?t there a friend that will give me what I need?
Late at night I type and type and think of
What they?ll read



[chorus]

I need a beta
I?m holding out for a beta who can read and write
She?s gotta love Luke
And she?s gotta love Han
And she?s gotta think Vader?s all right.
I need a beta
I?m holding out for a beta who will feel my plight
She?s gotta read fast
And she?s gotta type well
And she?s gotta know dark from the light


Somewhere on the fan boards
Are readers looking for me
Somewhere in the Saga
My fanfic stories are always free
Racing for the deadline the month is almost here
What challenge will be next, I gotta get my rear in gear



[chorus]

I need a beta
I?m holding out for a beta who can read and write
She?s gotta love Luke
And she?s gotta love Han
And she?s gotta think Vader?s all right.
I need a beta
I?m holding out for a beta who will feel my plight
She?s gotta read fast
And she?s gotta type well
And she?s gotta know dark from the light
