Download Song Here

This is my favorite Star Wars parody song ever, by a local a cappella group. The download is off their website, from a performance on some CBC show (so there's some radio preamble - not the best download ever, but it's legal). Anyway, I love this song. Everyone should listen to it and learn it. Hey, here's the lyrics:

***

Well, a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
I worked a farm where I didn't want to stay
With uncle Owen and aunt Beru
I had a yearning for adventure, there was nothing to do
So we bought a couple droids to help out, and then
I met this hermit they called Obi-Wan - I knew him as Ben

Well we had to save the Princess, so we left our homes
And I met this guy who sorta looked like Indiana Jones
He was a first-class pilot, a smuggling pirate
And Chewbacca rigged the 'Falcon, just as fast as he could wire it
So, with minimal protection and a need for some direction
I got a mind-linked message, an Obi-Wan connection

He said Luke (Luke), use the Force
He said Luke (Luke), use the Force
(Jedis use it - don't abuse it!)
I'm tellin' you Luke (Luke), use the Force
Let me hear you now Luke (Luke), use the Force
(Kiss 'er, mister - she's your sister!)
The Rebellion's best defense is a strong attack
'Cuz we know - in the second movie the Empire Strikes Back

We split up while on the Death Star and we set the Princess free
From a level five detention block, A-A-twenty-three
And with some stormtrooper problems, and a bridge down by mistake
I was almost swallowed by some sort of garbage-eating snake
But as a Jedi Knight in training, I gave all that I had
'Till Ben was struck down by this villain who reminds me of my dad

[Strike me down, Darth, and I shall only become more powerful that you could possibly imagine!]

We were given our directions, there's a weakness in their plan
And the fleet went to the station without Chewie or Han
There were Red and Gold squadrons fightin' time for a change
In the universal hierarchy [Death Star now in range]
As my attack run came about I heard this voice in my head
That I recognized as Obi-Wan and this is what he said

He said Luke (Luke), use the Force
He said Luke (Luke), use the Force
(Jedis use it - don't abuse it!)
I'm tellin' you Luke (Luke), use the Force
Quit whining Luke (Luke), use the Force
(Kiss 'er, mister - she's your sister!)
The rebellion's best defense is a strong attack
'Cuz we know - in the second movie the Empire Strikes Back

***

An instrumented version of the song is available via MP3.com, but it's not nearly as fun. Enjoy!
