Good Ol' You Tube and WIKIpedia
Long before (early 90's) You Tube and Wikiped we had radio and basic cable, and Star Wars was hugher than ever. There are two parodies that are great and were played on KISS FM all the time. These Parodies are Star Wars Cantina and Weird Al's Yoda Song. Well Wiki explained why I could not find the Star wars Cantina until now:
Mark Jonathan Davis, later of Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine, made a parody song of Barry Manilow's Copacabana, called "Star Wars Cantina". Davis used the melody of that song; his lyrics are a rough outline of Star Wars Episodes 4 through 6. The song received significant radio airplay, along with "Weird Al" Yankovic's Yoda, in the run-up to the 1997 release of the Star Wars Special Edition VHS box set and the 1999 release of The Phantom Menace. "Star Wars Cantina" is often erroneously attributed to Yankovic.
The song was not released on CD due to copyright troubles.
I have been trying to explain this song to people but a video was never made and I could not find the "tape" I recorded it on. Now we are in the technology age and i found it. I hope you enjoy it as much as i do.
