Jedi Man
I've been wanting to do a song parody for a while, but I'm pretty bad at it. However I have now decided not to let that get in the way, and so I am now ready to unleash my first parody....."Jedi Man", inspired by nob01's Obi Wan Week.

This song is based on "Simple Man" by the great Lynyrd Skynyrd, a lot of the origional lyrics fit quite well, so I haven't had to change too much.

So without further ado, I present to you:

..............................Jedi Man....................................................



Qui gon told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my padawan
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this
It'll help you some sunny day
Oh take your time...Dont live too fast
The trials will come and you will pass
Go find a padawan You'll find love
And dont forget Obi
That the Force is all around

And be a Jedi kind of man
Be something people trust and understand
Obi be a Jedi, be a Jedi man
Oh. Won't you do this Obi Wan if you can

Forget your need for possessions,
All that you need, is midi-chlorians,
And you can do this, Obi Wan, if you try.
All that I want for you padawan,
Is to be a Jedi.

And be a Jedi kind of man
Be something people trust and understand
Obi be a Jedi, be a Jedi man
Oh. Won't you do this Obi Wan if you can


Obi, don't you worry... you'll find yourself.
Follow the Force, Obi, and nothing else.
And you can do this, Obi Wan, if you try.
All that I want for you padawan,
Is to be a Jedi.

And be a Jedi kind of man
Be something people trust and understand
Obi be a Jedi, be a Jedi man
Oh. Won't you do this Obi wan if you can








I'll try better next time :D

That wasn't bad at all, I have to give you an A for effort & a nod for the clever use of such a classic tune, & at least you tried. :)

excellent song choice and you did it justice...the real trick to doing a song parody is making sure what you DO change fits in with the pattern of the original song, and you did that well.

Nice work!

I have one coming myself today...will post it shortly!

Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.

I think you did just fine - and excellent first stab at a parody! Congrats! A fitting song for Obi-wan. :D
