Competition: SW Pop Lyrics

Finished
SW Pop Lyrics

If that universe far far away with a bright burning sun, and bands with weird funky hairdos, they have the latest pop songs. In our universe with the Cantina band and that weird blue thing that bangs on the drums for Jabba the Hutt, we have the latest pop songs too! This competition allows you to tap into your potential and write up a hit song for the next space-faring band to play.

Instructions:

Take any popular song off the net and write up a set of replacement lyrics that match the rhythm. It can be any song, any genre, and the subject can be anything you like, as long as it is Star Wars related. Lyrics are expected to be PG-13, and no profanity of any kind unless it uses curse words associated with Star Wars. Judging will be based on humor and how well the lyrics match the chosen song.

To the tune of Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off"

I am way too bold
Got nothing in my hold
That's what droids say
That's what droids say
I play fast and loose with Hutts
But them sluggos got credits
At least that's what Twileks say
That's what Twileks say
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this issue
Being on time, but it's gonna be alright
Cause the smugglers gonna play, play, play
And Vader's gonna hate, hate, hate
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off
And the Mandos gonna break, break, break
My face if we don't fake, fake, fake
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off, Shake 'em off

I never miss a shot
I'm lighting on my draw
And that's what they don't see
That's what Greedo seen
I'm makin Kessel runs
Then to Tattooine's double suns
And that's what they don't know
That's what they don't know
But I keep cruising
Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this issue
Being on time, but it's gonna be alright
Cause the smugglers gonna play, play, play
And Vader's gonna hate, hate, hate
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off
And the Mandos gonna break, break, break
My face if we don't fake, fake, fake
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off, Shake 'em off

Hey, hey, hey
Just think while you been getting down and out about the Troopers
And the dirty Imperial scum of the world
You could flying around in my Falcon

My friend Luke brought his new girlfriend
I'm like oh my god
(Maybe she's his sister!)
And to the Wookie over there with the hella good hair
Won't you come on over Chewie we could shake, shake

Cause the smugglers gonna play, play, play
And Vader's gonna hate, hate, hate
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off
And the Mandos gonna break, break, break
My face if we don't fake, fake, fake
Chewie we just gotta shake, shake, shake
Shake 'em off, Shake 'em off
Shake 'em off
Shake 'em off
Shake 'em off
Shake 'em off

Coldplay - Fix You

When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but they don't bleed
When you feel so thirsty, but you can't feed
Stuck in reverse
And the blood comes streaming down their face
When you lose something you can't retrace
When you love their corpse, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

The Dark Side will guide you home
And ignite your soul
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in battle to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Sith will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

"Pay Me Maybe", an adaptation of "Call Me Maybe"

I shot somebody straight to hell
Don't ask me I'll never tell
I thought of you as they fell
And now you've got my pay

I trade my soul for a hit
Took that shot for credit chits
I wasn't looking for this
But now you've got my pay

Transaction holding
Blank books
Red was showing
Zero balance
Nothing's flowing
Where you think you're going lady?

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe
It's hard to look right at you lady
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe
And all the other hunters
Try to chase me
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe

You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all
But still you've got my pay

I beg and borrow and steal
At first sight and it's real
I didn't know I would need it
But you've got my pay

Transaction holding
Blank books
Red was showing
Zero balance
Nothing's flowing
Where you think you're going lady?

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe
It's hard to look right at you lady
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe

Before hunting became my life
I missed it so bad
I missed it so bad
I missed it so so bad
Before hunting became my life
I missed it so bad
And you should know that
I missed it so so bad, bad, bad, bad....

It's hard to look right at you lady
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe

Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe
And all the other hunters
Try to chase me
But here's that bounty
So pay me maybe

Before hunting became my life
I missed it so bad
I missed it so bad
I missed it so so bad
Before hunting became my life
I missed it so bad
And you should know that
So pay me, maybe

Oh, is there not one Jedi here
Whose slow advance and lack of pow'r
Have caused all hope to disappear
Of ever reaching Jedi Master?
To such an one, if such there be,
I urge you let your hate consume you,
If you will cast your lot with me,
However weak you be, I'll train you,
However weak you be,
If you will cast your lot with me,
However weak you be I'll train you,
I'll train you, I'll train, I'll train you!

(Taken from "Is there not one Maiden Breast" by Gilbert and Sullivan, from "The Pirates of Penzance")
