JP's Holiday Special: BFD SING-ALONG!!!!!
*Disclaimer*:These are in no way meant to degrade Christmas, Hanukkah or any other religious holidays and traditions. This was just my way of having a little fun with SW this holiday season. I have the utmost respect for these holidays and traditions. If you are offended for some reason, please let me know.

As with our earthly winter holidays, the grandest of all GFFA celebrations (BALANCED FORCE DAY) has oodles of carols! (If you are completely confused right now, I recommend reading my past 3 entries.) I have been able to uncover some of these little ditties, all of which happen to be sung to melodies we already know! Coincidence? No such thing! Our pitiful little galaxy has learned much from the GFFA, carols included.

So, before going on, I need you to promise me that you will sing (out loud if possible). It's way more fun that way...;)

Other bloggers have been able to track down some songs and were willing to let me link or post them. I can't thank them enough for doing all that research and allowing me to include them in this entry.

Ready to sing? Warm up a little first (la la la la...). OK, now you're ready.

~MO2YP~ and Merryman-Lyon have some great ones. Check 'em out!

This one comes from this really Bodacious Babe and is sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells."

Balanced Force Day,
Balanced Force Day,
Celebrate life anew.....

The Jedi say,
It is there way.
May the Force Be With You.

In the black of space,
There is a planet of light.
Coruscant it is called;
What a beautiful sight!

The place where Jedi live
And train their Padawans,
Who will eventually become Knights
To fight the Sithy spawns

OHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Balanced Force Day,
Balanced Force Day,
Celebrate life anew.....

The Jedi say,
It is their way.
May the Force Be With You!


I LOVE IT!!!

Here are a couple more, each to the "12 Day of Christmas" tune. (Over time a couple of versions of essentially the same song may occur. This is one such instance. Both versions, however, are equally valid and AWESOME.)

This one was sent by the dashing Mr. Fabulous:
(Though only the last part of the song is here, you must sing the WHOLE thing! You all know how it goes...):D

On the twelth day of Christmas my true love sent to me...

Twelve Jedi leaping
Eleven Gungans dancing
Ten cloners cloning
Nine Maidens maiding
Eight podracers racing
Seven Gooba Fish swimming
Six Separatists plotting
Five Royal Guards
Four bounty hunters
Three Naboo lakes
Two Sith Lords and
A Chosen One all for me


Another sent by Hansgirl:
(Again, sing the whole thing, bloggers!)

On the twelfth day of Star Wars
My true love gave to me

Twelve Rebels blasting
Eleven troopers marching
Ten Jedi leaping
Nine starships flying
Eight handmaids posing
Seven aiwha swimming
Six Biths a-playing
Five golden droids...
Four roaring blurrgs
Three Naboo shaaks
Two lightsabers
And a duckling in a shuura tree!


(SQUEE!)

That one Fabulous guy also sent me this, to the tune of "We Three Kings:"

We two Sith of the Dark Side, bearing darkness we go galaxy-wide
Planet and fountain, Moon and mountain,
Casting the light aside.

Oh, Force of wonder, Force of night, Force of Jedi-destroying might.
Empire leading, still proceeding,
Conquering because it's a Sith birthright.

Once a slave on Tatooine's plain,
Bad dreams I bring to hurt him again
Pain for ever, ceasing never, apprentice for me to train.

Oh, ...

Dark Side skills to offer have I, lightning causes the skin to fry
Lightsaber raising, Jedi slaying,
No longer Chosen, now my bad guy.

Oh, ...

The Galaxy's mine, Jedi Temple's a tomb, peace is now about to loom.
Severed, burning, bleeding, dying,
A mechanical suit to save his doom

Oh, ...

Glorious now behold him arise, he's made the ultimate sacrifice
Before me kneeled, mine to wield
Revenge at last we have devised


Brilliant, Rogueish!!!!

Tired of singing yet? I hope not! There's more!!! THIS is a present for my partner in Han-loving crime! (Ah, who am I kidding? She's the ring-leader!) Happy BFD to you, my dear, and I'm so glad you figured out what game I was talking about that one day.:D The first one is sung to "Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel" and the others are pretty obvious.

I'm still not done. Hehehe! Go here for some more SW sing-along fun put together from bits of archive information by yours truly. (You should be able to figure out the tunes easily enough.) Be sure to get all the way through, because the last one is my favorite!

And that's all for now, folks. I hope you enjoyed this sing-along. I certainly did! Please don't forget about those mad libs. (I'll be doing something special with those tomorrow.)

The fun is not quite over! There is still one more BFD entry for tomorrow. Thanks for sticking with me, friends! You're the BEST!

Forcefully,
JP

JP, I've had a blast throughout your BFD celebrations. I'm afraid I'll miss tomorrow's entry but I'll try my hardest to at least get a glimpse over the next 2 weeks before I can return to blogging proper in the 2nd week of Jan.

I see there's one or two "5 golden droids" or "5 golden rods" but that was too obvious so I went for something completely different.

I love Palpy the Sithman.

Well anyway, thanks for bringing me so much cheer.

JP, you said we had to sing aloud. All I can say is I am glad - relieved!!! - no one was here to hear me. As I warned you last night, I sing from my heart. Why don't people get that??? ?:|

My one question to Rogueish . . . how do maids maid???? :| (is it a Brit thing?)
