STAR WARS Force-Cast #59; Microcast #26: A Galaxy of Music, Vol. 8

Pela primeira vez o SWCC-PT aperesenta um post bilingue. Perceberão porquê...

Jimmy Mac returns with his vol. 8 of the always interesting A Galaxy of Music Force-cast microcasts. This one is holds a very special flavour to us, the SWCC-PT and the STAR WARS community in Portugal at large.

The first (of the many) great songs of this show is performed by "Weird" Al Yankovic, with a parody of the well known 1971 American Pie song. "Weird" Al dubbed it "The Saga Begins" and we include its full lyrics so you can duly appreciate the twist to the original song.

Also included on this microcast is an interview given to Jimmy by Chinese actress Bai Ling, where she shares her thoughts on the saga's movies. Bai Ling starred in the Episode III, Revenge of the Sith movie (playing the part of Senator Bana Breemu), with appearances also on but also on the first episode of the third season of the currently running LOST TV-series show and also cast on The Crow, Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow movies and a cover-girl on the May 2005 edition of the Playboy magazine.

To wrap this up, we can only thank Jimmy Mac, The Force.Net and Rebelscum.com for putting up such a great "radio" show, and also for kindly accept my suggestion to play one of several parody songs performed by one of the funniest STAR WARS geeks on the globe, "Weird" Al Yankovic.

Jimmy Mac regressa com o seu vol. 8 dos sempre interessantes Force-cast microcasts, A Galaxy Of Music. Este traz-nos um sabor muito especial, ao SWCC-PT e à comunidade STAR WARS em Portugal, em geral.

A primeira das canções neste programa é interpretada pelo "Weird" Al Yankovic, numa paródia à bem conhecida canção American Pie de 1971. "Weird" Al chamou-lhe "The Saga Begins" e aqui incluímos as letras para que se possa devidamente apreciar a transformação da canção original.

Igualmente incluída neste microcast está uma entrevista dada ao Jimmy pela actriz Chinesa Bai Ling do Episódio III, A Vingança dos Sith (no papel da Senadora Baana Bremu) tendo participado também no primeiro episódio da terceira temporada da actual série televisiva LOST e nos filmes The Crow, Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow e também, como cover-girl na edição de Maio de 2005 da revista Playboy.

Para concluir deste destaque, apenas nos resta agradecer ao Jimmy Mac, ao TheForce.Net e ao Rebelscum.com por mais um excelente programa de "rádio" e também por ter gentilmente seguido a minha sugestão de passar uma das várias paródias musicais interpretadas por um dos mais divertidos geeks STAR WARS do globo, "Weird" Al Yankovic.

May the Force be with you, always!

A long, long time ago In a galaxy far away Naboo was under an attack And I thought me and Qui-Gon Jinn Could talk the Federation in- To maybe cutting them a little slack But their response, it didn't thrill us They locked the doors and tried to kill us We escaped from that gas Then met Jar Jar and Boss Nass We took a bongo from the scene And we went to Theed to see the queen We all wound up on Tatooine That's where we found this boy... Oh my my, this here Anakin guy Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" Did you know this junkyard slave Isn't even old enough to shave But he can use the Force, they say Ahh, do you see him hitting on the queen Though he's just nine and she's fourteen Yeah, he's probably gonna marry her someday Well, I know he built C-3PO And I've heard how fast his pod can go And we were broke, it's true So we made a wager or two He was a prepubescent flyin' ace And the minute Jabba started off that race Well, I knew who would win first place Oh yes, it was our boy We started singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" Now we finally got to Coruscant The Jedi Council we knew would want To see how good the boy could be So we took him there and we told the tale How his midi-chlorians were off the scale And he might fulfill that prophecy Oh, the Council was impressed, of course Could he bring balance to the Force? They interviewed the kid Oh, training they forbid Because Yoda sensed in him much fear And Qui-Gon said, "Now listen here Just stick it in your pointy ear I still will teach this boy" He was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy Maybe Vader someday later - now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" We caught a ride back to Naboo 'Cause Queen Amidala wanted to I frankly would've liked to stay We all fought in that epic war And it wasn't long at all before Little Hotshot flew his plane and saved the day And in the end some Gungans died Some ships blew up and some pilots fried A lot of folks were croakin' The battle droids were broken And the Jedi I admire most Met up with Darth Maul and now he's toast Well, I'm still here and he's a ghost I guess I'll train this boy And I was singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy Maybe Vader some day later - now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi" We were singin'... My my, this here Anakin guy Maybe Vader some day later, now he's just a small fry And he left his home and kissed his mommy goodbye Sayin' "Soon I'm gonna be a Jedi"
