Everybody's Free (Sunscreen Song)

Couldn't help but chuckle as I was reminded of this one part way through yesterday. We all know "The Sunscreen Song" (even if it's officially titled, "Everybody's Free"), but this is a Yoda spin on it.

So just for you Jodene, Yoda's take on "Everybody's Free". Despite changing most of the content of the song, I don't think any of the message has been lost. In someways, I guess to me at least, many of the references make a bigger impact and more sense. Then again, I'm far from being normal.

Sunscreen good
No sunscreen bad
Rest of advice based on years of Jedi teaching experience, yes.
This advice I dispense now
Enjoy the power and beauty of the Force
Understand the Force you will not
until you have used it
Fabulous is how you look
Fat as Jabba the Hutt you are not
Worry not about the Dark Side
Worrying is as effective as trying to stick C-3PO together with bubblegum
Do one thing, everyday, that would scare even Darth Maul
Yes
Floss
waste time not at Mos Eisley
In the end hung over you will be, yes
Kind to your lightsaber be
For when it's gone, miss it you will
Dance, even if you have nowhere to do it
but your own swamp on Dagobah
Beauty magazines read you not
make you feel ugly and green they will
Yes
Just one minute you wait
What is wrong with being ugly and green? I ask
Get to know your father
You never know if Darth Vader he will be
Live on ice planet Hoth once
Leave, before hard it makes you
Live in Naboo once
But leave before soft it makes you
Travel at lightspeed
but make sure hyperdrive works
Accept certain inalienable truths
Luke and Leia, related they are
Wookies shed all over the furniture they will
And sound a lot like Grover on Sesame street, I do
Respect Mace Windu
Very good in Pulp Fiction he was
Yes
With your hair mess not
Or by the time you're 800
One thousand it will look
Be careful of advice and. . . Boba Fett
but trust you me on the sunscreen
Yes

He is here,
I have felt him

Yup, be kind to your lightsaber, for when it is gone... miss it you will.

Yoda

Well November is on its way out and figured I'd do my best to include as many Christmas themed tunes next month.

I'll end November then with an amusing track, I'll dedicate this one to Jodene and Greg. Think they'll see the funny side of this one.

"Yoda" by Weird Al is a parody of Lola by the Kinks. Although I figured the original is amusing in its own right (friends don't let friends... oh heck it's good for a laugh).

I met him in a swamp down in Dagobah
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 for 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
but, 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 I had to sign
Says I'll be making these movies till the end of time
Oh with my Yoda
Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda
Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda Yo-yo-yo-yo Yoda

Just don't forget what Yoda said... :)
