Alrighty my loyal readers I have a new one that I just churned out. For all of the older members of our illustious forums, this is a diddy done to a classic tune called Buttons and Bows. It was sung by Bob Hope in his comedy Paleface and later in Son of Paleface. It is a 1930's tune. What I did was make it seem like a certain pilot was singing this for his gal. Without further ado I give you...

Boots and Robes

A planet here, a planet there is the Outer Rim to me
Give me a place, anywhere in space
And my gal with a pretty face

East is Kashyyyk and west is Manaan
And the one that I have chose
Is down there where they don’t wear them frills and flowers but boots and robes
Gloves and sabers and boots and robes

Don’t bury me in Ahto City
Take me where the sand dunes grow
Let’s go down to Anchorhead town and hit the desert in Sand People clothes
For you’ll stand out in boots and robes

You look good in verpine
And sweet in kinrath glue
And I’ll love ya longer, always
In a place where we can kiss

We’ve come so far to an unknown star
And we’ve saved the galaxy
Let’s burn sky to where they have the crystal coves that shine and glow
And you’re all mine in boots and robes

Give me sage’s trimmin’ where my gal’s a woman
In tight fitting robes but no peek a boo clothes
With Deralian perfume that fills the room
You’re all mine in boots and robes

Thank you and I just found my other diddy from another 1930's song called Whingding. I will post it but I will warn you that it is a lighthearted tune and it has some disturbing revelations seeing as evil is a pleasure to some.

What a Night for a Killing

I’m waiting and orderin’
Tonight I’ll do some killin’
Time to end this now
I’m laughin’ and drummin’
Cause their end is comin’
Things are prepped to go
And now to get them now

What a night for a killing
My Bastila’s more than willin’
To try and kill that Revan
Things are ripe for a killing
And I end this now and grab the galaxy
I’ve got a date to keep and wipe out the Republic fleet
And sprucin’ up to leash out a killing spree
I will see her and she’ll face me
Tonight will be her undoing
Yes siree

What a night to be killing
My desire’s flying higher than the sky
Tonight’s my night to have a killing
I’ll leave the fleet in ruins
And Revan will be done in
Here on the Star Forge tonight

Yes I do. This one is another old favorite based on the tune 'A Four-Legged Friend.' I dedicate this to igyman since he seems to take pleasure with everyone's favorite assassin droid. It is a bit short but this is all about droids now. :)
My next performance is to a Beach Boys tune and involves a Jedi Ice Princess. That will be posted later.

A Four-Wheeled Friend

A four-wheeled friend
A loyal little friend
A trusty little astrodroid
He’s spunky and loyal up to the bolt end
That wonderful 1-2-3 four-wheeled friend

HK’s an assassin and an assassin can kill
Cause he’s got a bloody, murderous quirk
He’d just as soon go on a murdering spree
And kill you with much wanted, joyous glee

A four-wheeled friend
A loyal little friend
A trusty little astrodroid
He’s always there helping right up to the end
That wonderful 1-2-3 four-wheeled friend

I Get Around! The one song I know has been KOTOR-ised. Another good one JediMaster12. A bit off-topic, JediMaster12, but when it is Christmas, I might do some diddies of Christmas songs. Is that alright with you (In a new Thread of course). Looking foward to more diddies.

I Get Around was not the one I chose but I could see it as one. As for the Christmas diddies...you don't want to be around me for my ideas with my fav carols are...unique. Maybe we can post our insane humour together when comes the time Pottsie.

Well I was thinking of doing diddies like Happy Christmas (War is Over), Wonderful Christmastime and Merry Christmas Everybody. Perhaps you could do Carols and I'll do the modern day stuff. Anyway, I'm looking foward to your next diddie.

That might work Pottsie. I can hear the laughter and the comments saying that I am insane. I guess I'll need a new room at Jaes Hotel Asylum. :lol:

On another note, I have my newest diddy for my thread. It is to my favorite Beach Boys tune called Fun, Fun, Fun. Surprisingly I left it the same title because I happen to know what Bastila was like before she became the Jedi Ice Princess. The stuff in parenthesis are the backgorund stuff in between the verses and stuff.

Fun, Fun, Fun

She got into the speeder and she cruised to the annual swoops now
See she blew off the meditation with Master Vrook now
With the holonet blasting, she’ll let out a wild whoop now
And she’ll have fun, fun, fun
‘Til the Jedi Princess melts away
(Fun, fun, fun till the Jedi Princess melts away)

The other girls don’t like her
‘Cause she walks and drives like a queen now
(She walks like a queen now, you walk like queen)
She makes the Coruscanti race look like a milk run now
(You drive like a queen now, you drive like a queen)
A lot of masters try to tame her but she leads them on a wild Bantha chase now
(You drive like a queen now, you drive like a queen)
And she’ll have fun, fun, fun
‘Til the Jedi Princess melts away
(Fun, fun, fun til the Jedi Princess melts away)

Well you knew all along that Vrook would wise up to you now
(You shouldn’t have ditched now, you shouldn’t have ditched)
And since he took your set of freedom you can bet that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn’t have ditched now, you shouldn’t have ditched)
And you sit along with Vrook and you grow a thick ice sheet now
(You shouldn’t have ditched now, you shouldn’t have ditched)

And we’ll have fun, fun, fun
While the Ice Queen appears again
(Fun, fun, fun, while the Ice Queen appears again)
And we’ll have fun, fun, fun
While the Ice Queen appears again

Very nice, JM12. As always. Thanks for dedicating ''A Four Wheeled friend'' to me, but personally I would more likely call it a ''Two legged, Aratech Sniper Rifle wielding friend'', but then again, that's why you write them and I read them. :thumbsup:

How about Queen's 'We Will Rock You'? Or 'Every Breath You Take' by Sting? Which is not actually a love song, btw, it's about a guy who's really obsessive and paranoid. Sting writes some really wickedly dark songs.

You should post these at KFM, too--they'll love them there as much as we love them here. :D
 JediMaster12

That's a good idea Pottsie and I might consider it to. My head is full of things you don't want to know about. That's why Directrice Jae puts me on a strict regimen. :D

Enough about that. I have done it and have officially completed my first diddy concerning entirely of my favorite assassin droid HK-47. Sorry RC, you can't send him after me now. I used Sting's song Every Breath You Take. I hope it sounds right because I don't have the music and haven't heard it in awhile. I did have someone beta it so it's gotta be OK. As far as dedications go I dedicate this to both igyman and RC because of their love for homicidal droids. Enjoy.

Every Gun He Takes

Every gun he takes
Increasing the stakes
Every bone he breaks, every shot he takes
He’ll be hunting you

Here on Tatooine
Raidin’ the Dune Sea
And he pulls his gun while the raiders run
He’ll be hunting you

Oh, he takes aim
The intent to maim
With his sniper rifle
With no little trifle
Home on Korriban
And he likes Yuthura Ban
Every gizka he bakes, every kill he makes
He’ll be hunting you

Since he longs to terminate a meatbag
He begs all hours and finds it a drag
He searches high and he searches low
Quivering to give the final blow
He keeps begging Revan, he’s begging

On Manaan’s blue sea
A prevented spree
And his poor core aches
With the scope he makes
Here on the Ebon Hawk
To Canderous he’ll talk
‘Bout the good ole days every time he says
He’ll be hunting you
Every shot he takes, every kill he makes
He’ll be hunting you

Thank you Directrice. I know that my insanity is reaching controllable levels with you monitoring it :lol:
I have an idea of one for Canderous and Mandalorians in general. I am looking at Everything I Do, I Do it For You. It just came to me while I was taking my GRE today.

Your welcome RC and igyman. My next number is one involving Canderous and Mandalorians with Everything I do (I Do It For You) and I have one concerning the F Exile and Atton with the song Faith of the Heart. Rakata Prime with Kokomo, another Beach Boys song. Yep I am wide spread about it.

Well. I wrote another diddy and this time it's to Rod Stewart's Faith of the Heart. For some reason the insane idea ran through my head that I should write something concerning the Exile and Atton. A little on the romantic side but given the circumstances for the tune...and it has opinions from both characters.
There is one line in there that is my personal favorite because it fit so well and I've seen it so many times mentioned in fics on KFM. Enjoy

Faith in Our Love

It’s been ten years
Traveling through the Outer Rim
So long a time
Until we met on Peragus here
And I could feel my heart come alive at last
But I am a Jedi
My heart’s become too wild now
And he’s there right by my side

(Chorus)
Facing the threat of the Sith Lords
And going where the Force will take us
With Mira and Bao-dur
Searching for the Lost Jedi
From Telos to Korriban
We learn more about each other
Ignoring the old Jedi witch
With of faith
Faith in our love

I’ve been here a long time
Rotting in this prison cage
Playing pazaak here
Alone in my own mind
Then she came running through the door
There in her underwear
And I felt he urge to help her then
Though I didn’t think of love

(Chorus)

I know I’ve killed Jedi
My soul is dark inside
But she gave me another chance
I can’t blow it now

I’ve been chased through space
And I’ve seen all the death
With him I’m free

(Chorus)

CSI: I call them diddies because that is exactly what they are. They are the insane drabbles of a slowly going insane college student who is looking for a way for her to relieve the stress. It's nowhere near as good as Wierd Al but it was his songs that inspired me to write these diddies.

Is there laughing gas somewhere? My brother and I laughed so hard, we almost fell off our chairs. 'Fun, Fun, Fun' drove us nuts. And I let my brother read 'Every Gun He Takes'. Oh boy! Now for 'Faith In Our Love', I wasn't too sure of that song. I am not a big Rod Stewart fan. Excellent work JM12.

It's been some time since I wrote another diddy with being busy writing research papers, booking rooms for performers and writing another chapter and preparing to graduate this June. Still I managed to come up with a brand new diddy.

First off I would like to extend any apologies to hardcore fans and to Ray Parker. This diddy is a spoof to the Ghostbusters theme. On another note I do not claim any responsibility for any damage done to your home computer because you cannot control the flow of liquid from your mouth. :)

With that said, here it is:


Jedi Knights

The Sith are awake in the galaxy
Who are we gonna comm? JEDI KNIGHTS
The only ones who could stand their fury
They are called JEDI KNIGHTS

They will fight the Sith
They will fight the Sith

The Sith are making chaos everywhere
Here they come JEDI KNIGHTS
Their leader built a destructive sphere
And we comm JEDI KNIGHTS

They will defeat the Sith
They will defeat the Sith

Who comes to the rescue? JEDI KNIGHTS

If you find yourself alone facing at Sith
You comm JEDI KNIGHTS

They will kick Sith butt
Guardians of peace and justice
They will kick Sith butt

So who’ll come? JEDI KNIGHTS

If you get your right hand cut off
You comm JEDI KNIGHTS

The baddies will run now
The light side never felt so good

They will find the Sith
They will find the Sith

Don’t try to catch a Sith Lord

JEDI KNIGHTS

When they try to choke you and you don’t know what to do
You should comm JEDI KNIGHTS

They’re gonna come JEDI KNIGHTS

Who do they comm? JEDI KNIGHTS

Here they come JEDI KNIGHTS

Swinging their sabers JEDI KNIGHTS

Ok I have gone off the deep end I think...:xp:

Have you ever wondered what the padawans did behind the master's backs? Well this brand new diddy will tell you. Based upon the number A Hard Knock Life from the Broadway musical Annie, It's A Jedi's Life tell you what the padawans think of the Jedi Order at their young age. For all those who love Atris and Vrook, my apologies but it couldn't be helped.


It’s a Jedi’s Life

It’s a Jedi’s life for us
It’s a Jedi’s life for us
Stuck up masters, arrogant monks
Meditation, we are stuck
It’s a Jedi’s life

Got no chance to laugh near them
We act like drones near them
Austere faces instead of smiles
No emotions, none for miles
It’s a Jedi’s life

Master Atris warns against the darkside
Every day we have to the books
She says the downfall will we our pride
It’s easier than dealing with old Vrook

Kavar believes in teaching by doing
Lonna Vash encourages us to think
Zez-Kai-Ell speaks through his sparring
With them our life doesn’t have to stink—oh

Meditation life
Austere boring life
Full of lecture life
A Master Vrook life

Love we never get to feel
Love? What’s that? Get real
Vrook’s presence serves to smother
When you’re in the Jedi Order
It’s a Jedi’s life

Malak (imitating Vrook): You’d do well to keep your emotions in check.
Serena/Exile (imitating Atris): Do you mock the Jedi Order?

Hide the pins for her hair
Make him growl in despair
Did you ever meet a perfect pair?

The Padawans: Yes masters.

It’s a Jedi’s life for us
Their rules serve to smother
When you’re in the Jedi Order
It’s a Jedi’s life
It’s a Jedi’s life
It’s a Jedi’s Life!!!

This number was second on the annoying songs list in my book. I actually worked on the production crew and was in the pit orchestra when my high school drama club put this production on. At least our Annie was cute if not annoying :D
I have another idea for another number of this musical. It is to to be to the tune Little Girls. Only this time I'll call it Little Droids. With that said, no I will not bash our beloved HK. In fact I have an idea to emulate him a bit. :lol:

Alright ye huddled masses I have returned back on track with a new edition to my diddies thread. This one comes from another one of my favorite musicals called Guys and Dolls. Yeah I like Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra. So Sue Me :xp:

Anyway, have you ever wondered what Revan was thinking about before he went with Malak and the Exile to join in the Mandalorian wars? Written to the number entitled The Oldest Established, these three young Jedi hear it from each other and their peers why they should go to war. This is done to the version produced for video by MGM and is called the The Oldest and Lasting. As a reminder: Revan and the Exile are both male.

The Oldest and Lasting

Exile: The Masters want us to stay
Malak: That won't keep Mandalorians at bay
Revan: And they want us to wait, with the Republic as bait

Exile: Master Kavar will understand the call
Malak: But Master Vrook holds the ball
Revan: And the way things are now, Master Atris says no

Exile and Malak: So the call to aid is a must
Revan: But te masters say we will bust

Jedi Peers:
Look it's good ole Jedi Revan
Revan, Revan, Revan the best
If you want a challenge
He'll give you a shot
Against the Mandalorians he'll make them rot
For it's good ole Jedi Revan
And those brutes he'll lick
Showing that nothing ever defeat us the Republic

There are Jedi who will gladly follow you
We will follow you to there
And an awful lot of trouble and the fellow'll make it double
Rev-

Exile and Malak and Revan: If the masters'll let go we could end this war

Jedi Peers:
-aan
Yes it's good ole Jedi Revan
Revan, Revan, Revan our man

Revan:
If you want to aid our friends
I'll make it so we got to the end

Jedi Peers:
And we'll follow ole Revan
And the enemy's butt we'll kick
Proving for once and for all we are the Republic

When do we go?
When do we leave?

Exile and Malak and Revan: Gotta go to the front or the Republic'll burn

All: And we will help the oldest and lasting friend the Republic!
