Use the Force

[A Star Wars parody of "In the Flesh" by Pink Floyd]

So ya
Thought ya
Might like to join in the show
To feel the warm thrill of Force power
That Jedi knight glow

Well, I've got some bad news for you, young boy
The light side is weak and I will never be beat
So I see that you've got an old lightsaber in your hand
Now we're going to find out what you learned from that man

Can you clash lightsabers if I goad your attack?
That's impressive, most impressive
Will you escape if I knock you on your back?
That's impressive, most impressive

Obi-wan knew that your destiny's with me
Now release your hate and anger and set yourself free
Jump over my head, your sword I can block
If I have my way, I will have you caught

The Fight Must Go On

[A Star Wars parody of "The Show Must Go On" by Pink Floyd]

Ah ooh, ah ah
Ooh Leia, ooh Han
Through Cloud City, I run
Ooh Leia, here I come, here I come, here I come
Ooh Han, just hold on, just hold on, just hold on

There must be some mistake
I didn't mean to let them take away my friends
Are they gone now?
Am I too late?

Ooh Leia, ooh Han
"It's a trap" but I press on
Ooh Leia, ooh Han
Where's everybody gone?

Ooh, ah
The fight must go on

Carbonite Han

[A Star Wars parody of "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd]

Lando, Lando, Lando
Am I really going in there?
Why would you do this to me?
I thought you were my friend
Chewie, Chewie, Chewie
I know you're furious
But you must calm down
And help protect the princess now
Leia, Leia, Leia
Please let me have just one more kiss
At least this won't be slow

I love you

I know

I'm full of pain, you are receding
A huge machine's smoke fills up the chamber
You are only coming through in waves
Your lips move, but I can't hear what you're saying
When I first met you, I just lost my planet
My soul cried, overcome with grief
Now I've got that feeling once again
I can't explain, I do not understand
This is not how I am
You will become carbonite Han
You will become carbonite Han

Okay, okay, okay
Like a little pinprick
Here comes the carbo--aaaaaaaaaah!
Now I feel a little sick
I am frozen, frozen, frozen
I do believe it's working good
Stuck here like I hibernate in snow
With nowhere I can go

I'm full of pain, you are receding
A huge machine's smoke fills up the chamber
You are now frozen, locked away
Your lips scream, but none can hear what you're saying
When I met you, I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turn to look, our future's gone
I cannot hope to carry on
Your body's cold, the dream is gone
You have become carbonite Han

Threepio/Set the Trap

[A Star Wars parody of "Vera" and "Bring the Boys Back Home" by Pink Floyd]

Does anybody here remember Threepio?
Remember how he said, "Oh please don't shoot, oh no
"Stormtroopers here"?

Threepio, Threepio
Your warning came too late
So now a worthless box of spare parts will be your fate

*****

Set the trap, he's mine
Set the trap, he's mine
We'll test the carbonite one time, time, time
Set the trap, he's mine

It's a trap, Luke, please stay out there

Soon You'll Be Mine (Boba Fett's Song)

[A Star Wars parody of "Nobody Home" by Pink Floyd]

I've got a little black book with my code in
Got a helmet with a scanner and a scope
When I hunt someone, I always capture my goal

I got these durasteel spikes on my shoes
Got this armor of blues
I got thirteen weapons of death on each wrist I can choose from

I've got laser sights
And I win every fight
I got amazing powers of observation

And that is how I knew
The way to follow you
I just had to give it time
Solo, soon you'll be mine

I've got the skills to win at every turn
And a flamethrower to burn
All of my enemies till they are dead or in pain

I've got a blaster carbine that's my first
Choice of weapons to do the worst
Sort of grand destruction, I'll shoot up your mortal remains

I've got a visor over my eyes
And I've got a jetpack to fly
But I got nowhere to fly to

Ooh, Solo, tortured, frozen or fried
I know soon you'll be mine

I've got a bounty to collect
And I've got no regrets

Lando/It's a Trap, Luke

[A Star Wars parody of "Hey You" and "Is There Anybody Out There?" by Pink Floyd]

Lando, not a system but a man
Who might lend a helping hand in Cloud City
Lando, Bespin businessman
Scoundrel pirate friend of Han, far too friendly
Lando, don't lose what is wrong and is right
Don't give in without a fight

Lando, please help fix our hyperdrive
The Falcon is not yours, but mine, I won it fairly
Lando, where is Threepio?
Chewie, see where he could go and please let's hurry
Lando made a deal and has nothing to fear
What do you mean, Darth Vader's here?

But it was only fantasy
The deal was too good
As you can see
No matter how you try
You will not break free
And the darkness creeps into your brain

Lando, get the hell away
You have done enough today and for tomorrow
Lando, nothing but a rat
Helping Vader set his trap, quite the hero
Lando, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall

We fall, we fall, we fall
We fall, we fall, we fall

*****

It's a trap, Luke, please stay out there
It's a trap, Luke, please stay out there
It's a trap, Luke, please stay out there
It's a trap, Luke, please stay out there

The Evil Emperor's Tool, part 3/Goodbye Dagobah

[A Star Wars parody of "Another Brick in the Wall, part 3" and "Goodbye Cruel World" by Pink Floyd]

I had a vision, the future I see
Friends in trouble, die without me
I have seen how best to serve my friends
Don't think I will sacrifice their plans
No, I don't think I will sacrifice their plans

I'm no fool, but I'm gonna challenge the evil Emperor's tool
I just hope I don't become the evil Emperor's tool

*****

Goodbye, Dagobah
I'm leaving you today
Goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye

Goodbye, Ben and Yoda
There's nothing you can say
To make me change my mind
Goodbye

Where Are They Now?

[A Star Wars parody of "Don't Leave Me Now" by Pink Floyd]

Oh, Needa
Where are they now?
Don't say that you lost them again
Remember the orders I gave
I need them, Captain
To put through the shredder
To draw out Skywalker

Oh, Needa
Where are they now?
Where could they go?
So send out the bounty hunters
To find the Millennium Falcon for me

Oh, Captain
Where are they now?
How could you fail me this way?
They ran away

Oh, Needa
Apology 'cepted, Captain Needa

Ooh, Admiral
Ooh, Piett
Ooh, Piett

The Dark Side of the Force

[A Star Wars parody of "One of My Turns" by Pink Floyd]

Day after day, Yoda shows me the way
Of the Force that a Jedi can use
And night after night, I learn how to fight
"But beware of the dark side, for it can consume you"

And something is very not right around here

And I can feel sinister cold from that cave
I feel evil domain it is
With me, I'll take my weapons
Into the cave, here I go

Hiss of a saber!
From the darkness comes Darth Vader
His red lightsaber held high

Don't be so frightened
That way leads to hate and anger
I must remain calm

Yoda, I am not prepared
To face this man alone
And how will I survive this battle?
How did he get here so soon?

Should I give him a fight?
Would ya, would you like to see me try?
Oh, no!

So I take a swing at him
And I cut off his head

Why is he wearing my face?

Vader's Empire/Han's Love

[A Star Wars Parody of "Empty Spaces" and "Young Lust" by Pink Floyd]

What shall we do to flee this asteroid cave
Where we hide from their attack?
How shall we flee Darth Vader's empire?
How shall we escape his wrath?

*****

I'm the best damn pilot
A bounty on my head
Trapped here with you, Princess
Tell me you'd want to be anywhere else instead

Ooh, I need a classy woman
Ooh, you need a scoundrel man

Hyperdrive busted, got dirty hands
You say you only want a nice man
You're afraid of how good it can be
Ooh, Leia, I'll set you free

Ooh, I need a classy woman
Ooh, you need a scoundrel man
Ooh, I need a classy woman
Ooh, you need a scoundrel man

Goodbye My Friends

[A Star Wars parody of "Goodbye Blue Sky" by Pink Floyd]

Ooh, ooh, ooh
D- d- d- did you join the fighting ones?
D- d- d- did you go escape with Han?
D- d- d- did you ever wonder where I went to run for shelter
When Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers attacked us
From the clear blue sky?

Ooh, ooh
D- d- d- did you save the fleeing ones?
D- d- d- did you hear of Dagobah?
The flames are all long gone but the pain lingers on

Goodbye, my friends
Goodbye, my friends
Goodbye
Goodbye

Yoda

[A Star Wars parody of "Mother" by Pink Floyd]

Yoda, should I trust in Obi-wan?
Yoda, should I go to Dagobah?
Yoda, do you think I'll try to save them all?
Ooh ah, Yoda, should I heed the call?
Yoda should I run from these AT-ATs?
Yoda, should I kill who I'm looking at?
Yoda, will they put me in the firing line?
Ooh ah, should I give my sorrow time?

Hush now, Luke Skywalker, don't you cry
Vader's gonna make all of your nightmares come true
Vader's gonna put all of his fears into you
Vader's gonna keep you right here under his wing
He won't let you fly and he won't let you sing
Vader's gonna keep you locked up or dead
Ooh, Skywalker, ooh, Skywalker
Ooh, Skywalker, of course Vader will cut off your head

Yoda, do you think they're safe enough...from him?
Yoda, do you think he's dangerous...to them?
Yoda, will he bring rebellion to an end?
Ooh ah, Yoda, will he kill my friends?

Hush now, Luke Skywalker, don't you cry
Vader's gonna check out all Hoth looking for you
Blockade won't let any those rebels get through
Rebels gonna blow up until you give in
Vader will always find out where you been
Vader's gonna keep hunting, hungry and mean
Ooh, Skywalker, ooh, Skywalker
Ooh, Skywalker, you'll always be a target for me

Yoda, are you even truly real?

The Proudest Fight of Our Lives/The Evil Emperor's Tool, part 2

[A Star Wars parody of "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" and "Another Brick in the Wall, part 2" by Pink Floyd]

When we grew up and worked for food
There were certain soldiers who would
Hurt civilians any way they could

By murdering our parents
And poisoning our kids
And torturing all dissenters
Maliciously to find out what they did

By all, it was well known
When Darth got home at night
That old and psychopathic Emp'ra
Would zap him within inches of his life

*****

We don't need your dark empire
We don't need your Sith control
No shock stormtroopers in our cities
Vader, leave rebels alone
Hey Vader, leave rebels alone

Mean and cruel, you're just the evil Emperor's tool
Buckethead fool, you're just the evil Emperor's tool

We don't need your dark empire
We don't need your Sith control
No shock stormtroopers in our cities
Vader, leave rebels alone
Hey Vader, leave rebels alone

Mean and cruel, you're just the evil Emperor's tool
Buckethead fool, you're just the evil Emperor's tool
