Rogue from Needlessly Meta by the great Luke Ski, featuring Bonnie Gordon and Carrie Dahlby
A parody of the song "Vogue" by Madonna, about the movie "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" and the other female protagonists of the "Star Wars" universe.
"This will be a day long remembered", the 40th Anniversary of the release of "Star Wars"! To commemorate that, I have created a new "Star Wars" parody, "Rogue", which features the Urso-good Bonnie Gordon of "The Library Bards" on lead vocals, and the Leia-to-my-Luke Carrie Dahlby on background vocals, with a "most impressive" backing track by Jeff Dutton, aka Bonecage. Celebrate Star Wars like an ewok drumming on a stormtrooper helmet, and may the force be with you, always.
Lyrics
(Jyn Urso: This is a rebellion, isn’t it?... I rebel.)
Look around, everywhere you see oppression,
From Jedha to Yavin Four. (And more.)
And with - every new fascist transgression
You just can’t take anymore! (Start a Star War!)
It makes no difference if it’s the Empire,
The First Order, or the Sith. (Vader: Make Alderaan great again!)
When you see injustice, let it light your fire!
If there’s a Death Star, a Starkiller’s what you are! You know it!
Come on, go Rogue! (whisper: Rogue.) (Rogue!)
Let them feel your force like a hellion! (Force like a hellion!)
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on, Rogue! (whisper: Rogue.) (Rogue!)
And you too can lead a rebellion! (You’re our only hope!)
You - are - your - only hope!
Amidala and her crew
stopped the blockade at Naboo.
Jyn Urso helped out huge
with her tropical subterfuge.
Young Ahsoka made great quips.
Left the order. So long, Snips.
Rey beat Kylo at his game.
Maybe Maz knows her last name.
Hera flies the Ghost through space.
Sabine graffiti’s a Trooper’s face. (SFX: *spray paint* Trooper: Hey!)
Mon Mothma and Aunt Beru.
Princess Leia, we love you.
Rebel with an attitude.
General with some fortitude.
(Vader: It is pointless to resist it!)
Nevertheless, she persisted.
Rogue. [echoes] (Fight! Oppose!)
Rogue. [echoes] (May the force be with you!)
Come on, go Rogue! (whisper: Rogue.) (Rogue!)
Let them feel your force like a hellion! (Force like a hellion!)
Hey, hey, hey!
Come on, Rogue! (whisper: Rogue.) (Rogue!)
And you too can lead a rebellion! (You’re our only hope!)
You - are - your - only hope!
Ooh, you’ve got to go...
...Rogue. [echoes]
(sound bites: Han: I love you. Leia: I know. SFX: *blaster shot* SFX: *Wilhelm scream!*)
