The Lyrics
DKTOS? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ughqjbzx2Fk
What now Jedi knights?
All the Sith are dead
And you're getting old
On the sofa
When you want a snack or cold brew
You just levitate it to you
Obiwan has really taught you well
Jedi knights disperse
Move out to the 'burbs
Buy a little house
You can always
Be a hero to your neighbor
Start his grill with your lightsaber
Obiwan has really taught you well
On their porches, retired Jedi
Use their skills to keep youngsters off their lawns
With a force push that sends them flying
You're getting dates with young chicks
By using Jedi mind tricks
Obiwan has really taught you well
With your Jedi precognition
Won't miss "Alf" on television
Obiwan has really taught you well
Fam'ly will never never never never slight you
You Force them all to write you
Obiwan has really taught you well
Eating bran and prunes and lettuce
To avoid a great disturbance
Obiwan has really taught you well
All the Sith are dead
And you're getting old
On the sofa
When you want a snack or cold brew
You just levitate it to you
Obiwan has really taught you well
Jedi knights disperse
Move out to the 'burbs
Buy a little house
You can always
Be a hero to your neighbor
Start his grill with your lightsaber
Obiwan has really taught you well
On their porches, retired Jedi
Use their skills to keep youngsters off their lawns
With a force push that sends them flying
You're getting dates with young chicks
By using Jedi mind tricks
Obiwan has really taught you well
With your Jedi precognition
Won't miss "Alf" on television
Obiwan has really taught you well
Fam'ly will never never never never slight you
You Force them all to write you
Obiwan has really taught you well
Eating bran and prunes and lettuce
To avoid a great disturbance
Obiwan has really taught you well

::waves hand:: This is the parody you are looking for.
The images here really made me chuckle. Nice job.

I could see Clint Eastwood from that new movie "Gran Torino" wearing Jedi robes... I've always wondered why Jedis don't have more sex with really hot supermodels if they can just wave their hand and get people to do whatever they want. Some great images in this one, strong with the force you are.
Yo da' man! Quirky and very funny it was!
Great use of OS. Very funny!
I ttok it on as well in
http://www.amiright.com/parody/80s/tearsforfears52.shtml - But I really like your take on it!!!
A forcefield of 5s!
I know the song very well. And I really enjoyed your parody. 5-5-5 :)
As a fan of both this song and Star Wars, I love it. The last verse doesn't rhyme too well, but otherwise this is awesome.
This parody fantastic is. Many laughs contains. Expecting what not at all was I.
Many thanks McKludge, Matthias, TJC, Mark, Fiddlegirk, Serafina, Anakin, and Phil. Anakin, sometimes you just gotta take a little poetic license for the sake of the joke. :-)
Overall this was pretty good, familiarity is not an issue here because the original material (both song and topic) are very well known, so almost anyone can relate
(Artistry) As I wrote earlier, the "Parody Force" is with you on this one...
This was a really clever idea Rex, not what I expected. You made every chance for a joke work here.
(Artistry 80) Great going, Rex! Gotta love Star Wars. I owned almost all episodes of Star Wars. It was worth spending a fortune on 3 DVD box sets, but they're staying at my bro's bedroom. 555...and may the force be with you!
(Artistry) Great work as usual, Rex. Loved the clever puns on famous SW quotes, I always love that kinda thing. Ingenious title sub, too. 555, I will vote.
