Darth Vader is a big scary guy

I often sing my kids to sleep. And being the great rock star that I am, I usually take requests. Owen's two most requested songs are Star Wars and Spiderman. I went on YouTube and learned the Spiderman theme song from the early cartoon, so no problem there. Star Wars was a bit trickier. I tried just humming the music, but no, he wants words. So I made up words as I went along to the Imperial March, making sure to add lots of stuff about droids, Darth Vader, and light sabers. It made him happy. But I wasn't really happy, cuz my words were stupid. So heres the words I painstakingly wrote, to the tune of the imperial march, uh. . . much less stupid. The first two lines I borrowed from someone else, You know who you are. I don't.

Darth vader is a big scary guy

He flies around in a ship in the sky

And he talks with a deap voice

He breathes with a loud noise

Don’t mess with him unless you want to die


Darth Vader was Anikin Skywalker

Who was conceived by miticlorean power.

You know at first he was a good guy

He trained as a Jedi

Raced pods, saved lives and went very far.


So though Ani was as strong as they get

The council said he couldn’t be a master yet

He was confused, and so Palpatine

Took Ani under his wing

Manipulating him ever since they met.


We all know Senator Palpatine is the one

Who can shoot lightning from his fingers like a gun

Palpatine is the sith Lord,

Who becomes the evil emperor

And kills people off just for fun


There are a few other verses. But I think you get the idea of my pure genius.

This is the one Owen wrote:


Dark Vader is a guy. . .walker.


Yeah, I know. His is better than mine.

I think you should make a video of that song and post it. It is brilliant and you could make millions and be rich and famous.

That is the best thing I have ever read. I about fell off my seat at the first verse. harrison would love it. THough lately he requests songs about Hot Cocoa. But when he does want Star wars, this is usually the one I sing:

Faralee, that was wonderful. You are brilliant. I visualize you singing it just like how you sang in "The Audition" it adds to the image.
