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
