The Lyrics
That bit in 'The Empire Strikes Back' always makes me want to write something like this.
Darth:
I'm your Dad, and you're my son
So give up, come to Daddy
You can rule, here with me,
There's so much that we can do.
Obiwan lied to you
So come and join the dark side.
Look at me, I am cool, and I'm evil.
I was once like you are now, and I trained to be a Jedi,
It was lame when you can serve the Emperor.
Don't think I don't understand
We both grew up in the sand,
Tattooine was such a dump. Now I'll cut off your hand.
Luke:
How could Ben do this to me? He said that Vader killed Dad
Said my Father was a good, good old Jedi
Now Darth says that he is him, I am peeing my pants.
So I must fight, I'll get out, and I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Darth:
I'm your Dad, and you're my son
So give up, come to Daddy
You can rule, here with me,
It's your destiny, you must know.
Obiwan lied to you
So come and join the dark side.
Look at me, I am cool, and I'm evil.
Luke:
All the times that I whined, wished my father was still alive
It's Darth, and now I'm feeling so gutted
I look good wearing black, but the Dark Side isn't me
Dad's still good, that I know, and I have to go away
I know I have to go.
I'm your Dad, and you're my son
So give up, come to Daddy
You can rule, here with me,
There's so much that we can do.
Obiwan lied to you
So come and join the dark side.
Look at me, I am cool, and I'm evil.
I was once like you are now, and I trained to be a Jedi,
It was lame when you can serve the Emperor.
Don't think I don't understand
We both grew up in the sand,
Tattooine was such a dump. Now I'll cut off your hand.
Luke:
How could Ben do this to me? He said that Vader killed Dad
Said my Father was a good, good old Jedi
Now Darth says that he is him, I am peeing my pants.
So I must fight, I'll get out, and I have to go away.
I know I have to go.
Darth:
I'm your Dad, and you're my son
So give up, come to Daddy
You can rule, here with me,
It's your destiny, you must know.
Obiwan lied to you
So come and join the dark side.
Look at me, I am cool, and I'm evil.
Luke:
All the times that I whined, wished my father was still alive
It's Darth, and now I'm feeling so gutted
I look good wearing black, but the Dark Side isn't me
Dad's still good, that I know, and I have to go away
I know I have to go.
Minor quibble - if you don't think my song was good, by all means give it a low score, but please at least give my pacing the credit it deserves! grr!

I've just realised, I haven't a clue what decade this song is from, I just put it in the 80s 'cause that was when the Empire Strikes Back came out. I am such a twit :)
If it was Cat Stevens, it was probably in the first half of the Seventies. But since I don't know it, I can't vote on the parody. Good idea, though. If you ARE, in fact, a twit, you don't show it here.
Excellent parody! Cat Stevens had the original out in the 70's and then Boyzone did a cover in the 90's.
So I was right on average? :) Thanks for your nice words.
You could have used 'misc', since both versions were done in different decades.
genious!, wish i thought of it
