User blog:Alden51/Song Parodies

So, one thing you may not know about me is that, among my wide array of talents, I like to write song parodies. This is one I originally wrote for the Lego Message Boards, but never got to post since they banned the word "death".

So, for your enjoyment, I give you: a parody of "Miss American Pie"



A long, long time ago

I can still remember how

Our leaders used to make me smile.

And I thought if they’d had the chance

They’d end the war at a moment’s glance

And that maybe, it’d be peaceful, for a while.



But I still knew they couldn’t do it

‘Cause that’s why they dragged me into it.

We were born to serve them.

They bred us to fight for them.



I can’t remember if I cried

When I heard the news that they had lied

And tried to hurt us deep inside

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The day the Jedi died.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">So bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Did you fight this bloody war,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Or do you just live to serve the Force,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">While others go and die for you?

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Do you believe we just don’t mind

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">That we’ve all been used by all your kind?

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">That we’ve been forced to do what you won’t do?

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Well, I know that some don’t mind at all

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">When from comfy offices they call.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But you joined in the play,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drew your swords and joined the fray!

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">I was a lonely sergeant in the muck

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">When the swamps on Felucia got us stuck

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But I lost hope for a change of luck

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The day the Jedi died.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">I started singin’,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“Bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And for three years we’ve been on our own

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Fighting back to back with our broken bones

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But that’s not how it should have been.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">I know the council didn’t really mean

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">For the war to last until Rax Prime was clean

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But that was how it really seemed.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Oh, and while the Chancellor looked around

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Ol’ Greivous snatched him from the ground

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And stole him from the place.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">He tried to take him into space!

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And though Windu bashed his tinny chest

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And made his lungs a real asthmatic pest

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">He still let Grievous make a mess

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The day the Jedi died.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">We were singing,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“Bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Oh, and once the Jedi made the race

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And found the Chancellor out in space

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">They strolled into a trap again.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">So, come on: Dooku parried, Dooku thrust!

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Dooku’s head soon became a bust

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Because anger is the Dark Side’s only friend.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Oh, and as I watched the Jedi steal our stage

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">My hands were clenched in fists of rage.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The sacrifice we made

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Went unwritten all the same.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And as the stars turned red in the firefight

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Which flashed and boomed throughout the night

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">I saw Palpatine laugh with delight

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The day the Jedi died.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">He was singing,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“Bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">I met a guy who said he knew,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The meaning of this wretched feud

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But I just smiled and turned away.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">They sent us down to the Jedi’s home

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Where we’d face the Jedi all alone

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">‘Cuz the Chancellor said the Jedi must be away.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And in the halls, the younglings screamed

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The masters cried and the sages dreamed

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But not a word was spoken

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The temple halls were broken.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And the leader I desired most

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Was burned along a molten coast.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">He was as heartless as a ghost

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">The day the Jedi died.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">And we were singing,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“Bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">They were singing,

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“Bye-bye, mister lightsaber guy”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Drove the Senate to the le-met

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">But their tempers were high.

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Them council boys were steppin’ way out’a line

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">Saying, “This’ll be the way freedom dies

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">“This’ll be the way freedom dies.”

<p class="Classic" style="text-align: center;">

<p class="Classic"> So, yeah... there you have it. Let me know what you think of it! And in case you're wondering, I'm thinking about doing a parody of Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" next. ;)
