Prima Amidala

It was late at night. We had just watched both Phantom of the Opera and Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones. We cranked this out in an hour and a half. But it sure was fun.

"Amidala" - To the tune of "Prima Donna" in Phantom of the Opera. Apologies to Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Anakin
The Republic needs you!
I need you too!

Crowd
Amidala, first lady of a slave
Our Jedi liege is on his knees to implore you
Can you deny when he whispers your name?

Anakin
Think of how my soul adores you...

Amidala, enchant me once again
My heart abused, this kiss has bruised me forever
When you deny me, my soul is rent torn
Please love me, Amidala, once more

(I once thought you an angel)

Padme
Ani, Ani, this foolishness must end;
I've work to do,
(Anakin We'll make it through)
You must stay true to your Order
(Anakin Life without your voice leaves my soul in anguish)
Making this choice would rend our lives apart

Anakin
It doesn't have to!
We'll keep a secret!

Padme
Think of where this logic leads you

Anakin
Politicians are a trial...

Padme
Ani, Ani, could you live out a lie?
You'd be expelled
I'd be removed from my station.

Crowd
Anakin agrees
And tries her thus to please
But quickly comes undone
While saving Obi-Wan
Though now he does forget
When the Queen soon regrets
And pledges her love sure
He's bound to be with her
They soon do get away
The troopers save the day
The war is just begun
Before the day is done
Some Jedi fell before
Count Dooku's deadly horde
And Boba lost his father

Amidala and Ani soon are wed
The future waits
With now their fates thus decided
How do we find out what life has in store?
Watch Episode III once more!

Greatly amusing! I'm guessing this was before camp when other phans were there?

Ah, so I've commented before. Never mind. I have more to say. :P

The bit parodying where Andre and Firman are singing, "Who'd believe a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl" reads like a rap. Made me snigger evilly.

OTHERWISE: You guys are absolutely crazy in this way. I have NEVER parodied songs to this extent. :P (I've done lots of other things, of course! ((Just ask Tabi about the Offensive Unmentionable for proof!)) But parodying has never been one of my strong points, I'm afraid...)

*sigh* Now I'm just rambling.

I, uh, guess this means I should go email you and discuss what I actually NEED to... *totters off to do so*

Yes, this was before camp, but just me and Sarah... and yes we were crazy. Same time of night/morning as the music video that spawned the Emosticks.
