So the other day I heard the
Outkast song “Hey Ya!” again (I still love it), and suddenly my addled brain
began to substitute the name “Leia” for Hey Ya”. And I thought: Wow, Weird Al Yankovic really
missed his chance on this one, even though he's done Star Wars parody songs
before (“Yoda” to the tune of “Lola”, “The Saga Begins” to the tune of “American
Pie”). So here is my take on the parody
song. I wasn't sure what else to do with it, so I posted it here. If you’re not familiar with this
catchy tune, look it up on YouTube so you can sing along.
Leia
(to the tune of "Hey Ya! "by Outkast)
One, two three, uh!
My baby is a kick-ass princess
who can use a blaster
and can whip the Empire’s butt.
She wore a hot bikini
when she used that choke chain
and she strangled Jabba the Hutt.
Can’t try to fight the feeling that she
turns me on and that she
thrills me to my soul.
This is despite a hairstyle
that to me resembles
a pair of cinnamon rolls.
Le…ia, Leia,
Le…ia, Leia,
Le…ia, Leia,
Le…ia, Leia.
You know you got it,
oh yeah you know you got it,
but got it just don’t get it
if there’s nothing at all.
Let’s get together
I want to get together
but stuck in carbonite I couldn't get involved.
But then you said, “Nothing is forever”,
You saved me, you saved me, you saved me,
you saved me, saved me, saved me (Luke and Chewy too)
So why don’t, why don’t,
why don’t, why don’t, why don’t we take off in the Falcon
When we know we’re not happy here.
We'll join the Ewoks, then we can dance!
Le..ia (OH OH)
Leia (OH OH)
Le..ia (Darth Vader is your daddy, OH OH)
Leia (That doesn’t make you bad-dy, OH OH)
Le…ia (Amidala was your mama, OH OH)
Leia (You got some family drama, OH OH)
Le..ia (I’m, OH OH, I’m OH OH)
Leia (I’m just bein’
honest OH OH, I’m just bein’ honest)

and Stormtroopers, get on the floor
