Hello all, since it is nearing the Christmas season, I've decided to do Diddies, similar to what JM12 is doing, but with Christmas songs. This first Diddy is Step Into Christmas by Elton John, but with a few changes. Something tells me that my Jedi Exile, Sera Tana is singing this. Please note, I'm not as good as JM12.
Step Into Christmas
Welcome to the Jedi Temple
I'd like to thank you joining
So I'm sending you this Lightsaber
To say it's nice to see you again
I'd like to sing about all the things
Your eyes and mind can see
So hop aboard the Ebon Hawk
Oh step into Christmas with me
Step into Christmas
Let's join together
We can watch the Sith fall forever and ever
Eat, drink and be merry
Come along with me
Step into Christmas
The admission's free
Take care in all you do next year
And keep fighting through the days
If we can help to entertain you
Oh we will find the ways
So merry Christmas Jedi Knights
There's no place I'd rather be
Than asking you if you'd oblige
Stepping into Christmas with me
Thanks for your lightsaber, can I have another one because I'm a Jar'Kai user? J/K...
Nicely written! Keep up. Now you can wave your manuscript for Diddies and imagine the look on JM12's face...
Sorry but I am immune to the effects of diddy manuscripts because I am constantly working on my own :xp:
Besides I have already started writing Christmas diddies to Rest Ye Merry Gentleman and the Twelve Days of Christmas. You don't want to be in my head. Hey Pottsie, do you want me to post the holiday ones here? We could have a face off on who has the good ones. CSI can be the impartial judge :D

Sure. I remember you saying about doing Christmas Diddies. Saves making another Thread. Post them here JM12.
Merry Christmas everybody. It is the 1st December where I live. I'll try and get the next diddy up tomorrow and I wonder when JM12 will post hers.
You don't have to wait. I have one right here that I did in five minutes last night. It is to the song Rocking Around the Christmas Tree. I had fun with it and I'll leave you to guess the various peoples mentioned in it. I wrote another to Rest Ye Merry Gentleman but I'll post that after Pottsie posts his so as to be fair and CSI can be tormented with judging. :lol:
Anyway I give you:
Flying Around the Galaxy
Flying around the galaxy
Saving the Republic again
Fighters hung where you can see
So you try to take a shot
Flying around the galaxy
Let the pazaak match begin
Later we'll have a meal surprise
But none of them Sith sandwiches
You will get an irritated feeling when you hear, her voice saying
'Rev be wary. Love can lead to the dark side'
Flying around the galaxy
Have a happy moment now
Everyone's waiting patiently
Until they crash on the ground
You will get a sad little feeling when you see Bastie standing
there and dares to raise her blade
Flying around the galaxy
With a determined face
Now everyone's dancing happily
Now that Lord Malak's dead
Very good JM12, I was planning to do that song, but I won't bother now. I'll probably do Band Aid's Do They Know It's Christmas next and many other of my favourite Christmas songs. Also, what do you think about posting a FIN version of this in the Archives on the 27th December, since I won't be online the other two days, probably.
We're getting really poetical this month, I guess it's just that time of the year. :D Nice work, both Pottsie and JM12, keep it up, but bear in mind that some of us don't celebrate Christmas in December, so don't stop with the holiday spirit as soon as that day passes. Keep it up a bit longer, say 'til the end of the first week of 2007. ;)
igyman: You are talking to a born and raised Catholic. We still have the Feast of the Three Kings January 6th. Of course I'll have the We Three Kings diddy for that date especially. I was thinking maybe Jingle Bell Rock for my next diddy. Don't worry I think we will keep it up till then.
Pottsie: How about appealing to Jae to have her change the thread to Holiday Diddies? That way we can keep it alive until Jan 6th. We can then post a FIN edition in the Archives. I think it will work and that way lots more fun and more insanity for the new year. Maybe you can figure out Auld Lang Syne? :D

About the Thread title, sure, but maybe you could finish off with Auld Lang Syne. Sorry for the lateness, but I've done Little Saint Nick with Little Jedi Knight and I'll either do Happy Christmas (War Is Over), Wonderful Christmastime, Merry Christmas Everybody or I Wish It Could Be Christmas Everyday. I might even do old classics like Blue Christmas, White Christmas or The Christmas Song. I'll see what JM12 does.
Little Jedi Knight
Oooooooo
Merry Christmas master
Christmas comes this time each year
Oooooooo oooooooo
Well, way up Telos where the air gets cold
There's a tale about Christmas that you've all been told
And a real famous guy all dressed up in red
And he spends the whole year workin' out on the Force.
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
Just a little Lightsaber, we call it Old Jedi Knight
But he'll walk a tobogan with a four speed stick
He's candy apple red with a ski for a wheel
And when the Jedi hits the gas, man, just watch him peel.
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
run run master
run run master
Whoaa
run run master
run run master
He don't like no one
And hauling through the galaxy at a frightening speed,
With a half a dozen ships with a-Rudy to lead,
He's gotta wear his visor 'cause the snow really flies
And he's cruisin' every pad with a little surprise.
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
It's the little Jedi Knight
little Jedi Knight
Ahhhhhh
Ooooooo
Merry Christmas master
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh
Ooooooo
Merry Christmas master
Christmas comes this time each year
Ahhhhhh
Ooooooo
Merry Christmas master
Christmas comes this time each year
Now this is the showdown b/w the lyrics...Besides, what's a "diddies"?
CSI: Diddy is a word I use to refer to a song that has had their original lyrics changed to talk of something else. Wierd Al Yankovic is a master with my favorite being Living with a Hernia and Yoda. The object is to try an make something funny out of it.
Well to the long and the short of it. I have another holiday diddy for you. It is to the carol God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman. I won't say who it is about but I am leaving it to you to guess. Though the original has about 7 verses, I narrowed it down to three. Hope you enjoy.
Force Rest Ye Weary Jedi Men
Force rest ye weary Jedi men
And don’t feel dismay
For a loyal Jedi Knight
Was killed this very day
Fighting a new Sith Lord
One who went astray
O he was a guardian of justice and peace
Justice and peace
Guardians of Justice and peace
Though defiant to the Council
He always stayed the path
And sought to keep young Obi-Wan
Away from night’s wrath
He spoke of the Living Force
And faced Darth Maul’s wrath
For he’s a guardian of justice and peace
Justice and peace
A guardian of justice and peace
So rest the ancient Jedi men
It’s time to pay respect
And welcome a new brother
To eternal rest
Until he reaches out to
Yoda in deepened rest
For he’s a guardian of justice and peace
Justice and peace
He’s a guardian of justice and peace
Another good one JM12. Now I need to do one...

Iusually call these filk songs. Taking a song, and adjusting it to fit a specific genre. My favoite ever was to an old Beatles song
I once had a sword, or should I say;
it once had me.
I once had a sword, or should I say;
it once had me.
That is from Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) song.
