The Star Wars Songbook

Never heard it, but great job!

 

YIPPPEEEE! Someone liked it! (jumps for joy) Seriously, Miana, thanks so much!

 

No prob. Now just keep them coming!

 

All of the songs are great! Totally lost it when I read El Tango de Anakin! Very funny.
Can't wait to read more

 

Thanks
I wrote that one at 3 in the morning
I'm flattered
*blushes*

 

although I hope you find 'it' soon

 

I'm not sure if any of you have heard the song "Zoot Suit Riot" (It was a parody by Weird Al Yankovic as "Grapefruit Diet" if that helps"

Count Dooku (Dookula!)

Idea A friend in RL who prefers to remanin unknown

Lyrics Womprat_Queen and Arwen-Jade_Kenobi
--------------------------
Who's that slaughtering the Jedi
That's just Dooku in the sky
The droid army is all his
Is he evil? Yes he is

He met a guy one day
His name was Obi-Wan
But the thing that really sucked
Was he was apprenticed to Qui-Gon

Count Dooku (Dookula!)
He has a crooked lightsaber
Count Dooku (Dookula!)
He's meaner than Darth Vader

Count Dooku (Dookula!)
He will cause you harm
Count Dooku (Dookula!)
See he's sliced off Anakin's arm

You confused? He's to blame
Cause he's got many a name
One of which confuses us
Who'd call themselves tyranus?

Though this Sith is really tall
He was beaten by someone small
When his Master came to play
Dooku ran away

Count Dooku (Dookula!)
He;s really old and gray
Count Dooku (Dookula!)
And the movie comes out in may

Count Dooku (Dookula!)
He is a real moron
Count Dooku (Dookula!)
And he's guilt tripping Obi-Wan

Qui, Qui, Qui, Qui
Quuuuuiii-Gon
Qui-Gon
Qui, Qui, Qui, Qui
Quuuuiii-Gon
Qui-Gon

No more Fisto now, No more Mace Windu
Look out Yaddle, he's coming for you
No more Yoda now, no more Obi-Wan
From a certain point of view

Everytime he get's the urge
He'll start a Jedi Purge
What makes it even worse
He'll kill his apprentice first

Count Dooku (dookula!)
He's got a crooked lightsaber
Count Dooku (dookula!)
He's meaner than Darth vader

Count Dooku (Dookula!)
he will cause you harm
Count Dooku (Dookula!)
See he's sliced off Anakin's arm

 

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too funny!!

 

As co-author of Dookula, I feel the need to add my own two cents worth:

The orginial 'Zoot Suit Riot' was written by a group called "The Cherry Poppin' Daddies"

our spin-off, was written by a Arwen_Jade_Kenobi, myself, and a RL friend, a trio that goes by the name "Death-Stick Poppin' Jedi"

 

Great point Queen, forgot about that

 

Hey, folks! Am a newbie to this thread. Guess I spent too much time in the AOTC forums fighting with the people who think Leo would have made a better Anakin than Hayden. LOL.

Anyhoo, I've been writing songs for Harry Potter, but only recently finished 2 for SW. One is an AOTC version for Weird Al's "The Saga Begins" entitled "The Saga Continues".

The second is my take on Mandy Moore's "Only Hope", Star Wars style.

Enjoy!

 

These are all great! I love them.

Keep them coming!

 

SWEET JEDI O' MINE
("Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns 'n' Roses)

She's got a light that blinds me
Reminds me of young Jedi memories
When everything was as clear as the Yavin sky
Now and then when I see her face
She's climbing my tail in a pod race
And if I stared too long, I'd crash on the fly

Ohhh, sweet Jedi o' mine
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, sweet Jedi o' mine

She's got eyes like Chandrilan skies
And if they ever rained
I'd hate to be there 'cuz I'd go out of my brain
Her hair's down in a Padawan braid
Which as a child she dreamed
And prayed for the Imps and the Yuuzhan Vong
To quietly get creamed

Ohhh, oh, sweet Jedi o' mine
Ohhh, oh, oh, oh, sweet Jedi o' mine
Ohhh, whoa, whoa, WHOA-OH! Sweet Jedi o' mine!
Ohhh, ohhh, oh, sweet Jedi o' mine

Where do we go?
Where do we go now?
Where do we go...
...sweet Jedi o' mine...?

Where do we go now, sweet Jedi o' mine, to the hyperspace lanes, to the Kessel mines, to the Rishi Maze, to the Onderon pits, to Rebellion days, to Malastare snits...
...where do we go now, to Cloud City's dome, to the Hoth asteroids, to your Corellian home...to Wild Space, to the Unknown Regions, to your special place, sweet Jeeeeeeeediiiiiiiii ooooooo' miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnneeeeeeeeee?

 

A Change Will Do Him Good
(Sung to "A Change Will Do You Good" by Sheryl Crow)

Empire-running sure has gotten hard
Rebel troops camping out in our backyard
Luke Skywalker and his rag-tag band
That princess chick and a guy named Han
Kicked out of every hole we find them in
Thought they would quit, now they're back again
I'll fight 'em all to their last man
But Skywalker has to be in my hands

(Chorus)

I think a change
(A change will do him good)
Will do him good
(A change will do him good)
I think a change
(A change will do him good)
Will do him good
(A change will do him good)

Hot-shot pilot in his souped-up ride
TIEs on his tail, playing seek and hide
Flew like a nut, breaking all the rules
Made my men look like total fools
Palpatine's calling on a beam of light
Skywalker can't become a Jedi Knight
My Master said he wants him dead
But I have a few ideas in my head

(Repeat chorus)

Big showdown, get your blade in gear
I'm quite impressed, you've controlled your fear
Learned quite a lot, now you're not half bad
The Dark Side calls, come and join your dad
Guy with your skill is in high demand
Son, you're gonna fall, come and take my hand
Woe is me, he got away
When I see the boss man, what will I say?

I thought a change
(A change would do him good)
Would do him good
(A change would do him good)

Woe is me, he got away
When I see the boss man, what will I say?

(Repeat chorus)

 

LIVING IN THE MAW
("Living On A Prayer" by Bon Jovi)

A long time ago, in a galaxy far away...

Tarkin used to work on Kuat
Rebels made a strike, he's down on his luck
It's tough, so tough
Daala builds destroyers all day
Working for her man, she makes Tarkin pay
For love, for love
She says, "We gotta hold on to Lemelisk
It doesn't matter if we lose the Basilisk
We got Qwi Xux, and work is brisk
For love, we'll take up the risk"

Ohhh, we'll break the law
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw
Take my ship to those holes I saw
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw

Tarkin's got his Death Star in space
Now he's blowing up what made Leia talk
So tough, it's tough
Daala dreams of running the fleet
When she hits Yavin 4, Tarkin whispers
"Baby, it's your beat, my treat"
We gotta hold on to Lemelisk
It doesn't matter if we lose the Basilisk
We got Qwi Xux, and work is brisk
For love, we'll take up the risk

Ohhh, we'll break the law
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw
Take my ship to those holes I saw
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw

Ohhhhhh, we gotta hold on to Maw Cluster
You live to pass Emperor Palpy's muster

Ohhh, we'll break the law
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw
Take my ship to those holes I saw
Ohhh, oh, living in the Maw...

 

*pokes head in like the blue eagle from the muppets*

You are all... weirdos.





seriously, funny stuff, guys.

 

Monty Pythons lumberjack song...err, lumberjedi song

Senator:
I'm a lumberjedi, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night. I work all day.


Jedi:
He's a lumberjedi, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

Senator:
I cut down sith. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for stim-tea.


Jedi:
He cuts down sith. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for stim-tea.

He's a lumberjedi, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.


Senator:
I cut down sith. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's jumpsuits
And hang around in cantinas.

Jedi:
He cuts down Sith. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's jumpsuits
And hangs around in cantinas?!

He's a lumberjedi, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

Senator:
I cut down sith. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama.

Senator and Jedi:
I (He) cut(s) down Sith. I (He) wear(s) high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra?!
Senator:
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Mama!

 

My sister, her padawan, and I wrote new words to the tune of "I'm gettin nuttin' for Christmas"
It is form the point of view of a disobedient padawan.
[chorus]
I gettin' nuttin' for christmas, Master and Yoda are mad, I'm gettin nuttin', for christmas, 'cause I ain't been nuttin' but bad.
1st verse
I filled the vents with stolen junk, somebody snitched on me, I went and hit that ugly punk, somebody snitched on me!

I put a toad in Yoda's bed, squashed a bug on Windu's head, didn't do what council said, somebody snitched on me.

Chorus

2nd verse
Made a dent in someone's face, somebody snitched on me, Lost at gambling won a race, somebody snitched on me!

Sold my boots to buy death sticks, took some punches gave some kicks, pulled a few to many tricks, somebody snitched on me!

Chorus

3rd verse
Next I'll be going straight, next year I'll be good just wait, I'd start now but its to late, somebody snitched one me.

 

I just stumbled onto this thread this morning. Anyways here's my Parody to Enrique Iglesias's Escape.


Escape- Star Wars Style
To Enrique Iglesias's "Escape"
Sung by Vader and the Emperor
********


Can't Escape the Darkside....



Here's how it goes,
Me and Vader
Embracing the Darkside, but
We'll take the sight.
Worth the fight
Cause the darkness is something you can't shake,
when your a Sith.
All it takes is your anger...,

Chorus:

If you feel like fleeing.
We're not gonna make you stay.
Soon you'll be finding.
You can run you can hide but you can't
escape the darkside.

Repeat:
You can run you can hide but you can't
escape the darkside.

So if you come.
You should know
It's hard just to forget your friends.
So fast.
They were good.
But we are bad. And Anger is
all we have.
In the End the darkside matters.

Chorus:
If you feel like fleeing, we're not gonna make you stay.
Soon you'll be finding...
You can run you can hide but you
can't escape the darkside.

You can run, you can hide but you
can't escape the darkside.

You Can Run...

You can Hide

But you just can't escape the darkside...

You can run......

You can hide

But you can't escape the darkside.

Here's how it goes
All it takes is some time..

Repeat to Chorus 2X:


You can run...

(Jedi you can't hide...)

You can run....
(Jedi you can run)

You can run...

You can run...

You can run......

 

WOW
We almost have enough songs to start our own musical

Sebulba 2179:HARRY POTTER SONGS!
*jumps up and down in excitement.* Where can I find them? I are they on a web site? If yes post it.

 

Harry Potter songs?? I hate to say it, but I've never seen or read HP. If we browsed long enough, we'd probably find some, although I don't know how much sense I could make of them.

 

Holy Moly!! How did this many songs get posted without me even noticing?!

WQ, that was jedi_ginny, not Seb. (I think I'd get worried if you started writing HP, Seb )

LumberJedi, LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love the lumberjack song!!!!!!


Great job, everyone!!

 

oops
*smacks head against wall*
sorry about that Sebulba 2179, it was jedi_jinny that mentioned that he/she wrote some HP songs

jedi_ginny:if you'll excuse my stupidity, could you please, please, please tell me where to find your HP songs? Merci beaucoups.

 

LOL. Okay, womprat_queen. They're published along with some HP songs that are waaay better than mine at the Harry Potter Filks site at this URL:

http://home.att.net/~coriolan/hpfilks.htm

Just copy and paste. Thanks for your interest.

 

Thanks so much
