Star Wars Gansta Rap(In honor of the opening of Revenge of the Sith!

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,
For 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
but if he could be turned to the dark side
then he'd be a powerful ally
another dark Jedi
he will join us or die

We got Deathstar
We got Deathstar
We got Deathstar
We got Deathstar, (Deathstar)
We got Deathstar, (Deathstar)
We got Deathstar, (Deathstar)
We got Deathstar, (Deathstar)
We got Deathstar, (Deathstar)

Uncle Owen, I know I'm on probation,
I cleaned the droids,
Can I go to the tochi station,
I got a lay away on a power converter,
But now you're treating me like a scruffy nerd herder,

Luke, use the force and run,
Run to Dagabah
Run to Dagabah
Luke, use the force and run,
Run to Dagabah
Run to Dagabah

I'm Yoda, I'm a soldier,
I mold ya, then fold ya, I thought I told ya,
Don't be unwise, judge me not by my size,
You won't believe your eyes, Watch the X-Wing rise,

Yoda why you being a play hater
you know that I must still confront Lord Vader
but Luke not ready are you
but there's a city in the clouds we're they are keeping my crew
a Jedi's got to do what a Jedi's got to do
so now Vader, I'm coming for you

Yea, that's right R2,
Time to set a new course,
We're going to Cloud City,
(Ahhh!)
That's mighty good gin and tonic.
Could you please mix me up another,
Thing's about to get ugly,

Impressive now release your anger
you must have realized your friends are in danger
ohhh why did you cut off my hand
it imperative you understand
Obi wan never bothered telling you 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)
x4

Knock him out the box, Luke
(Knock him out)
x4

why do i hear "the wrestlerock rumble"... but in honor of the day:

Yoda

I met him in a swamp down in dagoba
Where it bubbles all the time like a giant carbonated soda
S o d a, soda

I saw the little runt sitting there on a log
I asked him his name and in a raspy voice he said yoda
Y o d a, yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

Well, I’ve been around, but I ain’t never seen
A guy who looks like a muppet, but he’s wrinkled and green
Oh, my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

Well, I’m not dumb, but I can’t understand
How he can lift me in the air just by raising his hand
Oh, my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

Well, I left home just a week before
And I’ve never ever been a jedi before
But obi wan, he set me straight, of course
He said, go to yoda and he’ll show you the force

Well I’m not the kind that would argue with ben
So it looks like I’m gonna start all over again
With my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

So I used the force
I picked up a box
I lifted some rocks
While I stood on my head
Well, I won’t forget what yoda said

He said, luke, stay away from the darker side
And if you start to go astray, let the force be your guide
Oh, my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

I know darth vader’s really got you annoyed
But remember, if you kill him, then you’ll be unemployed
Oh, my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

Well, I heard my friends really got in a mess
So I’m gonna have to leave yoda, I guess
But I know that I’ll be coming back some day
I’ll be playing this part ’till I’m old and gray

The long-term contract that I had to sign
Says I’ll be making these movies till the end of time
With my yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo yoda yo-yo-yo-yo yoda

[amphiboid]

Knock him out the box, Luke, knock him out!

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Joan was quizzical, studied pataphysical
Science in the home
Late nights all alone with her a test tube
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Maxwell Edison, majoring in medicine
Calls her on the phone
"Can I take you out to the pictures Jo-o-o-oan?"
But as she's getting ready to go
A knock comes on the door

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that she was dead

Back in school again Maxwell plays the fool again
Teacher gets annoyed
Wishing to avoid and unpleasant scene-e-e-ene
She tells Max to stay when the class has gone away
So he waits behind
Writing fifty times "I must not be so-o-o-o
But when she turns her back on the boy
He creeps up from behind

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that she was dead

P.C. thirty one said "we've caught a dirty one"
Maxwell stands alone
Painting testimonial pictures, oh, oh, oh, oh
Rose and Valerie screaming from the gallery
Say he must go free
The judge does not agree, and he tells them so-o-o-o
But, as the words are leaving his lips
A noise comes form behind

Bang! Bang! Maxwell's silver hammer
came down upon her head
Clang! Clang! Maxwell's silver hammer
made sure that he was dead
Silver hammer man

Jane's Getting Serious
[Written by Jon Astley]

I like to get up
With my partner in crime
We love to dress up
Have ourselves a good time
We have an understanding
She could never be mine
We get on so well
There is no pressure on us
It`s a relationship
Based entirely on trust
No complications
You will not see me focus
Come around eleven
And it`s time to get home
I`m going her way
But I can`t leave her alone
But she`s lookin` at me
As if I`m something she owns
Oh, Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane) Oh, Jane`s gettin` serious I`ve got to do something 'bout Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane)
And I could get serious too

She introduces me
To her friends around town
She gets approval
I say I can`t stick around
The writing`s on the wall
So come around eleven
And we`re on our way home
I can`t leave her here
But I should leave well alone
`Cause she is looking at me
As if I`m something she owns
Oh, Jane`s getting serious (Jane) Oh, Jane`s getting serious I`ve got to do something 'bout Jane`s getting serious (Jane) And I could get serious too

So I`m pretending I`m not
Caught in between
The devil and the deep blue sea
And I cannot believe
That I would ever admit
That I`m begining to take Jane
Seriously

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

And come around eleven
We`re still on our way home
All dressed up and nowhere to go
But all along, I really should have known
That Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane) Oh, Jane`s gettin` serious I`ve got to do something `bout Jane (Serious Jane) And I could get serious too I could get so serious (serious Jane) Jane`s gettin` serious I`ve got to do something `bout Jane`s gettin` serious (serious Jane) And I could get serious too Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane) Jane`s gettin` serious Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane) Jane`s gettin` serious (Jane)

HAUNTED HOUSE (Robert Geddins)
recorded by Jumpin' Gene Simmons #11 in 1964

I just moved in my new house today
Moving was hard but I got squared away
Bells started ringing and chains rattle loud
I knew I'd moved in a haunted house
Still I made up my mind to stay
Nothing was gonna drive me away
When I seen something that give me the creeps
Had one big eye and two big feet
I stood right still and I did the freeze
He did the stroll right up to me
Made a noise with his feet that sound like a drum
Said "you be here when the morning come?"
"Say yes I'll be here when the morning come
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house, now you know I'm boss
Ain't no haint gonna run me off"

In my kitchen my stove was a blazing hot
Coffee was boiling in the pot
The grease had melted in my pan
I had a hunk of meat in my hand
From out of space there sat man
On the hot stove with the pots and pans
I said t"hat's hot", I began to shout
He drank the hot coffee right from the spout
He ate the raw meat right from my hand
Drank the hot grease from the frying pan
He said to me, "now you better run
And don't be here when the morning come"
"Say yes I'll be here when the morning come
I'll be right here and I ain't gonna run
I bought this house, now you know I'm [boss
There ain't no haint gonna run me off"]

HAPPY TRAILS
written by Dale Evans
full version recorded by Roy Rogers
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans sang a portion as ending theme song of "The Roy Rogers Show"

Happy trails to you, until me meet again
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then
Who care about the clouds if we're together
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, until me meet again

Some trails are happy ones others are blue
Its the way you ride that trail that counts
Here's a happy one for you

Happy trails to you, until me meet again
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then
Who care about the clouds if we're together
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather
Happy trails to you, until me meet again

If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
If not for a first "Hello"

A child of the water
Too proud to be a queen

Rags, I really love you
I can't forget about you
You'll be a hard luck woman
Baby, till you find your man

Before I go let me kiss you
And wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you, girl
You know I could never lie

I keep telling you hard luck woman
You ain't a hard luck woman
You'll be a hard luck woman

China Girl
David Bowie/Iggy Pop
Lets Dance

I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing

I'm a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up mornings where's my little China Girl
I hear her heart's beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down

I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl

I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It's in the whites of my eyes

My little China Girl
You shouldn't mess with me
I'll ruin everything you are
I'll give you television
I'll give you eyes of blue
I'll give you men who want to rule the world

And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says ... sh-sh-shhh

STAND AND DELIVER

I’m the dandy highwayman who you’re too scared to mention
I spend my cash on looking flash and grabbing your attention
The devil take your stereo and your record collection!
The way you look you’ll qualify for next year’s old age pension!

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

I’m the dandy highwayman so sick of easy fashion
The clumsy boots, peek-a-boo roots that people think so dashing
So what’s the point of robbery when nothing is worth taking?
It’s kind of tough to tell a scruff the big mistake he’s making

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine
All mine

We’re the dandy highwaymen so tired of excuses
Of deep meaning philosophies where only showbiz loses
We’re the dandy highwaymen and here’s our invitation
Throw your safety overboard and join our insect nation

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Try and use a mirror no bullet or a knife!

And even though you fool your souls
Your conscience will be mine, all mine

Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa
Da diddley qa qa da diddley qa qa

Stand and deliver your money or your life!
Stand and deliver your money or your life!

well I'm standing here looking at you
what do I see?
I'm looking straight through
it's so sad
when you're young
to be told
you're having fun

so unplug the jukebox
and do us all a favour
that music's lost its taste
so try another flavour -
"antmusic"

well I'm standing here what do I see?
a big nothing
threatening me
it's so sad
when you're young
to be told
you're having fun

don't tread on an ant he's done nothing to you
there might come a day
when he's treading on you
don't tread on an ant you'll end up black and blue
you cut off his head
legs come looking for you

Run Joey Run
David Geddes

Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.

She called me up, late last night, she said Joe, don't come over
My dad and I just had a fight, and he stormed out the door
I've never seen him act his this way, my God, hes going crazy
He says he's gonna make you pay, for what we've done, he's got a gun, so

Run Joey Run Joey Run
Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married...just you wait and see.

I got in my car and I drove like mad, till I reached Julie's place
She ran to me, with tears in her eyes, and bruises on her face
All at once, I saw him there, sneaking up behind me, WATCH OUT!
Then Julie yelled, he's got a gun, and she stepped in front of me
Suddenly, a shot rang out, and I saw Julie falling
I ran to her, I held her close, when I looked down, my hands were red,
and heres the last words Julie said...

Daddy please don't, it wasn't his fault, he means so much to me
Daddy please don't, we're gonna get married.....aaahhh..ahhhh
ahhhh....ahhhhh

Regarding Elderly Man River
This is one of the first recorded examples of Political Correctness, even before Politcal Correctness had been brought to the public's attention (late 1980s).



Transcript


The setting is as follows: A musical radio program is going on and Stan is the host. Just before he introduces the next song, a man walks up and announces himself.
Man: My name is Tweedly. [he places emphasis on, and draws out, "Tweedly".]
Stan: Well, we all have our problems.

Tweedly states that he is there to ensure that Stan does play anything that he finds offensive. Tweedly will activate his horn every time Stan does something offensive. Stan is hesitant, but decides to go on and starts his introduction.

Bzzzzzt! Stan forgot to be polite and thank Mr. Tweedly.
Stan: Why, that's a darling little horn you have there, Mr. Tweedly.

Stan introduces the next song, "Old Man River", and begins to sing.
"Old man river, that old man..." Bzzzzzt!
Stan: Okay Tweedly, politeness I dig, but what is wrong with "old man river"?
Tweedly: The word "old" has a connotation that some of the more elderly people find offensive. I suggest you make the substitution.
Stan: I suppose you insist.
Tweedly: Naturally.

Stan begins again.
"Elderly man river, that elderly man river. He must know somethin', but he don't say nothin'." Bzzzzzt!
Tweedly chides Stan for improper grammar.
Stan: "Somethin'," "somethin'," it's authentic.
Tweedly says that proper grammar should be used at all times, since "we must be a good influence on... children." [There's a pause and then 'children' is drawn out.]

By now, Stan is starting to get the hang of this, and begins again.
"Elderly man river, that elderly man river. He must know something, but he doesn't say anything. He just keeps rollin' [catches himself] rolling, he just keeps rolling along."
"He don't [Bzzt] doesn't plant taters [catches himself] potatoes, he doesn't plant cotton [catches himself] cotting, because these/them/those that plants them are soon forgotting. Elderly man river, he just keeps rolling along."

The song continues...
"...Body's all aching and wracked with pain." Well, we got by with that one.
"Tote that barge, lift that bail. You get a little..." [Stan slows down and stops here, since the rest of it is "drunk and land in jail".]
Stan: Okay, Tweedly, you can take your finger off the buzzer.

Stan gives up at this point, and wraps up the show.
Bzzzt
Stan: Oh, yes, and thank you, Mr. Tweedly.
Tweedly: You're quite welcome, I'm sure.

The version of Elderly Man River I've heard includes an argument over the use of a double negative.

Wild Heart, Stevie Nicks

Something in my heart died last night
Just one more chip off an already broken heart
I think the heart broke long ago
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most
That's when I needed you
When I needed you most

I run around like a spirit in flight
Fearlessness is fearlessness
I will not forget this night
Dare my wild heart
Dare my wild heart

Where is the reason
Don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
As to the seasons
You fought from the beginning
Long before I knew it
There was a danger
And the danger was
To fall in love

In dark sorrow
They gaze down into the darkest heart
If I leave you
You say not even you can tear us apart
Say you're leaving
You say you don't even know
How to start...how to start...how to start
Well...believe it then
And don't blame it on my soul
Blame it on my wild heart
Ooo...on my wild heart...Ooo

Fire on fire...rain on my face
Fever goes higher...what can you do
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most
That's where I needed you
Where I needed you most

Where is the reason
Well don't blame it on me
Blame it on my wild heart
There is a reason
Why even the angels
Don't give up at all
Where are the children
Well are they hopelessly enchanted
Blame it on the angels
Where are the reasons
Don't blame it on our wild hearts
Wild heart...wild heart...wild heart

On my...wild heart
On my...wild heart
Even in the darkest places of your mind
Wo...are the children are they hopelessly enchanted
Wild in the darkest places of your mind
No...don't blame it on me, baby
Blame it on my wild heart
Blame it on my...blame it on my...blame it on my
Blame it on my wild heart
(Even in the back of your...even in the back of your mind..)

May 24, 1941 - the British sent their dreadnought "The Hood" to sink the German battleship "The Bismarck". The British believed The Hood to be unsinkable and when the report came in that the Bismarck had sunk the Hood it was first believed that the message must have been accidently reversed but it hadn't. The battle took 8 minutes. The Bismarck had hit the Hood's ammo supply and that's why the Hood sank so fast. Out of 1400 men onboard the Hood only 3 survived.

Sink The Bismarck
Johnny Horton

In May of 1941 the war had just begun
The Germans had the biggest ship that had the biggest guns
The Bismarck was the fastest ship that ever sailed the sea
On her decks were guns as big as steers and shells as big as trees

Out of the cold and foggy night came the British ship the Hood
And every British seaman he knew and understood
They had to sink the Bismarck the terror of the sea
Stop those guns as big as steers and those shells as big as trees
We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down

The Hood found the Bismarck and on that fatal day
The Bismarck started firin' fifteen miles away
"We gotta sink the Bismarck" was the battle sound
But when the smoke had cleared away the mighty Hood went down
For six long days and weary nights they tried to find her trail
Churchill told the people put every ship asail
'Cause somewhere on that ocean I know she's gotta be
We gotta sink the Bismarck to the bottom of the sea
We'll find the German battleship that's makin' such a fuss
We gotta sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
Yeah hit the decks a runnin' boys and spin those guns around
When we find the Bismarck we gotta cut her down

The fog was gone the seventh day and they saw the morning sun
Ten hours away from homeland the Bismarck made its run
The Admiral of the British fleet said turn those bows around
We found that German battleship and we're gonna cut her down
The British guns were aimed and the shells were comin' fast
The first shell hit the Bismarck they knew she couldn't last
That mighty German battleship is just a memory
"Sink the Bismarck" was the battle cry that shook the seven seas
We found the German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a runnin' and we and spun those guns around
Yeah we found the mighty Bismarck and we had to cut her down
We found that German battleship t'was makin' such a fuss
We had to sink the Bismarck cause the world depends on us
We hit the deck a runnin' and we and spun those guns around
We found the mighty Bismarck and then we cut her down


Johnny Horton wrote this song after seeing the movie "Sink the Bismarck".

This song gets soming things wrong. It was May 27, 1941 just 3 days latter, not 7, that the Bismarck was sank. The first shot mentioned in this song was a lucky shot from an airplane, its torpedoe knocked out the Bismarck's rudder so it was unstirable. When the British fleet caught up with her they hit her with an estimated 400 shells in 15 minutes, totadly disarming her. A torpedo into the midsection finished her off.

When I'm Sixty Four (64)
~ The Beatles

When I get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.

If I'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

You'll be older too,
And if you say the word,
I could stay with you.

I could be handy, mending a fuse
When your lights have gone.
You can knit a sweater by the fireside
Sunday mornings go for a ride,

Doing the garden, digging the weeds,
Who could ask for more.
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Every summer we can rent a cottage,
In the Isle of Wight, if it's not too dear
We shall scrimp and save
Grandchildren on your knee
Vera ,Chuck & Dave

Send me a postcard, drop me a line,
Stating point of view
Indicate precisely what you mean to say
Yours sincerely, wasting away

Give me your answer, fill in a form
Mine for evermore
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four.

Since Sir Paul and his wife are divorcing the answer appears to be "no".
