Another filk

[sunnyskywalker]

So, I've been feeling nauseated all week and thought I was getting sick, but I finally figured out that it's just allergies or something and it's the post-nasal drainage that's the problem. I took an antihistamine and have been completely spaced out all day. Seriously, I took it at about eight AM and only within about the last hour or two have I been able to keep my train of thought long enough to read or write a sentence. And I slept for about four hours this afternoon instead of reading for school. But at least I don't feel sick... although that might be preferable.

So instead of posting the TPM thingy I had hoped to have finished a few days ago, it's the last two unposted song filks (one's really short) I have on my hard drive. (I figure I need to keep in the habit of posting or I'll just get lazy.) This is terrible, because now I realize how important keeping a backlog of meta and filks and various things on my hard drive is to my... I want to say something like "style" or "method of operating" but neither sounds right. Damn drugs. Anyway, I work better when I have several things gestating in a form I can see and tweak than when I'm completely winging it.

Enough drug-induced rambling.

Fly Me to Naboo

Anakin obviously learned his courtship skills from cheesy pop culture (ok, ok, and medieval romances), so why wouldn't he break out in a Frank Sinatra tune?

Fly me to Naboo
And let me play among the shaaks
Let me play a prank on you by
Falling off their backs.
In other words
Hold my hand
In other words
Padme, kiss me...

I'm in agony
Don't let that kiss become a scar
You are still my angel
Though I've wandered very far
In other words
Do you suffer too?
In other words
I love you



The Dark Lord

Based on ABBA's "The Piper." Again, so sorry. What is it about ABBA and the Prequels? Or was this just because I had an ABBA-loving acquaintance at the time?

They came from Naboo
And they came from Malastare and Tatooine
They struggled in the sands
And in the Senate pod of the Queen
Came to hear him say
“Vote my way today”

(Refrain): We’re all following a Dark Chancellor
We’re all summoned by a ruse
We’re following a Sith Lord
No longer vote the way we choose
We’re following a Sith Lord
No longer vote the way we choose for him
No longer vote the way we choose

They came from Kashyyyk
From Alderaan and Corellia's spaceports
They waited for the man
Like a Jedi waiting for the Force
Longed to hear him say
“Vote my way today”

(Refrain)

He gave them a dream
He seduced everybody in the land
The fire in his eyes
And the fear was a weapon in his hand
So they let him say
“Vote my way today”

(Refrain)
