"You don't want to sell me any death sticks"

(yeah so I have to cheat on these headers, oh well, maybe I'll just let you guys guess which ones apply to the entry and which are random!)

I took the lyrics from nelliedrum, cuz I'm a copycat. Heh. I never even heard this song 'til recently, now I play it all the time. If you haven't seen The Phantom Menace, or perhaps it's been so long you forgot, or you hate Jar Jar so much the whole thing was tainted for you, read this for a refresher!


"The Saga Begins" by Weird Al Yankovic
(I bolded the part that always makes me giggle!)

A long, long time ago
In a galaxy far away
Naboo was under an attack
And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn
Could talk the federation in
To maybe cutting them a little slack
But their response, it didn't thrill us
They locked the doors and tried to kill us
We escaped from that gas
Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass
We took a bongo from the scene
And we went to Theed to see the Queen
We all wound up on Tatooine
That's where... we found... this boy

Oh,
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
He left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Did you know this junkyard slave
Isn't even old enough to shave
But he can use the Force, they say

Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen
Though he's just nine and she's fourteen
Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday

Well, I know he built C-3PO
And I've heard how fast his pod can go
And we were broke, it's true
So we made a wager or two
He was a prepubescent flyin' ace
And the minute Jabba started off that race
Well, I knew who would win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin' ...
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

Now we finally got to Coruscant
The Jedi Council we knew would want
To see how good the boy could be
So we took him there and we told the tale
How his midi-chlorians were off the scale
And he might fulfill that prophecy
Oh, the Council was impressed, of course
Could he bring balance, to the Force?
They interviewed the kid
All training they forbid
Because Yoda sensed in him much fear
And Qui-Gon said "Now listen here"
"Just stick it in your pointy ear"
"I still will teach this boy"

He was singin' ...
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

We caught a ride back to Naboo
'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to
I frankly would've liked to stay
We all fought in that epic war
And it wasn't long at all before
Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day
And in the end some Gunguns died
Some ships blew up and some pilots fried
A lot of folks were croakin'
The battle droids were broken
And the Jedi I admire most
Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast
Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost
I guess I'll train this boy

And I was singin' ...
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi, Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"


We were singin' ...
My, my, this here Anakin guy
May be Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry
And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye
Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"

I totally love that song! And I wish I could see RotS again, but it's been long taken out of our local cinemas' programmes *sighs*

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

It's still at 2 theatres in this area, thank God. And it was crowded yesterday so hopefully the one near me keeps at least 1 or 2 showings. I'd be happy if it goes to the discount theatre too. The print is getting worn, it's the first time I noticed big scratches in it (black lines - I used to work in a theatre so I kinda look for stuff like that :)

Oh I love that song! Have you heard the Phantom Medley? It's along the same lines, it's also great.

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

No, I'll have to look that one up! Is it a parody of a song or just a funny SW song?

[rootytheroot.livejournal.com]

It's like a parody of loads of stuff, from La Bambina to Pop Goes the Weasel, all in one big medley. The site's offline http://www.ideatown.com/mich/index.html but it seems like it'll go up soon. If not I'll get my friend with a webspace to host the mp3 or something. It's awesome.

Stick it in your pointy ear??? Who is he talking to? Mr. Spock???

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Hmmmmmm, gee, which Jedi character in TPM has pointy ears? I can't imagine! :P

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Would YOU say that to Yoda??? I'd prefer to take my chances on Mr. Spock!!!

[lumy12.livejournal.com]

Pfffft, what's the little muppet gonna do to me????

[gizzi1213.livejournal.com]

Muppet?? LOL...yeah, I guess he did start out that way. I still don't think I'd call him that, or a troll, to his face.
