songs of week : star wars gangsta rap and the saga begins (both by weird al)

"Star Wars Gangsta Rap" (I heard about this song from the good ol' Reinclan)

(Intro)
It's not the east or the west side.
No it's not.
It's not the north or the south side.
No it's not.
It's the Dark side.
You are correct.
Keep frontin' the Empire
To all you Vader-haters out there, we'll blow your planet up!
What is thy bidding my master?
It's a disaster, Skywalker we're after.
What if he could be turned to the Dark side?
Yes, he would be a powerful ally, another Dark Jedi.
He will join us or die.
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
We got death star.(Death Star)
And you know that we got it.(Death Star)
And you know that we got it.(Death Star)
(Owen)
Luke, get your [butt] over here right now!
quit monkeying around with that Damned landspeeder
where are them two droids i asked you to clean, boy?
Have you cleaned your room?
(Luke)
Uncle Owen, I know I'm on probation,
I cleaned the droids,
can I go to the Hachi Station?
I gotta lay away on the power converter,
but now you treating me like a scruffy nerfherter.
(Obi-Wan Kenobi)
Luke, use the Force and run,
Run to Dagobah, Run to Dagobah,
Luke, use the Force and run,
Run to Dagobah, Run to Dagobah,
I'm Yoda,
I'm a solda,
I'll mold ya, and fold ya,
I thought I told ya,
don't be unwise judge me not by my size,
you wont believe your eyes,
watch the X-wing rise.
Yoda, why you being a playa-hata?
You know I must confront Lord Vader.
But Luke not ready are you.
But there's a city in the clouds where their keeping my crew,
a Jedi's gotta do what a Jedi's gotta do,
so now Vader, I'm coming for you.
That's right Artoo.
Set a new course
we're going to cloud city.
Ah. Thats a mighty fine Gin and tonic
Why dont you mix me up another?
Impressive, now release your anger,
you must have sensed that your friends are in danger.
Ow! why did you slice off my hand?
It's imperative that you understand.
Obi-Wan would never bothered,
to tell the truth about your father.
He told me enough, he told me you killed him!
Then there is something I must reveal then.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
I'm your father.
Knock him out the box, Luke.
Knock him out.
Knock him out the box, Luke.
Knock him out.
Knock him out the box, Luke.
Knock him out.
Knock him out the box, Luke.


"The Saga Begins"

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
Maybe 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"

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'd win first place
Oh yes, it was our boy

We started singin'...
My my, this here Anakin guy
Maybe 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
Oh, 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
Maybe 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 Gungans 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
While 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
Maybe Vader some day 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
Maybe Vader some day 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"

Well, I saw Star Wars Episode III : Revenge of the Sith at 12:01 A.M. on Thursday, and we waited in the rain for 3 hours because they wouldn't let us in until 11 P.M. so we just sang songs and watched these other Star Wars nerds dressed as Darth Vader and just some regular guy in regular jeans, battling with light sabers! And we watched Reinman drive around the parking lot blasting the SW soundtrack. The movie wasn't too bad, it had its share of corny lines and bad acting, but I think it *might* actually deserve to be an Epsiode rather than a crapisode. And partly, that is only because Jar-Jar was only in it for about 7 seconds.
