Hey, everyone! So this is a fun idea that I had, and if you have any stories to add, please send them in!

So this will be a series of one-shots (connected ones will be labeled and organized as such) with Earth songs in the Star Wars universe. I got the idea from a video on YouTube with "Stayin' Alive" by the Beesgees and TFA. I couldn't resist!

All lyrics will be copied from Google Play or some other lyrics site, and the rights to the songs are those of their respective artists and producers.

This first one will be "Stayin' Alive" with TFA, but it will just be a scene instead of just a series of clips...

Maybe I'll add a few more scenes; let's see how it goes.


Rey packed up her speeder before mounting it as the hot Jakku sun rose just over the eastern horizon. She started it up and turned the radio on.

A voice came over the speakers as she started off: "... and to those just joining us, this is a song is part of a collection that's just been discovered amidst the ruins of the Battle of Jakku of many years past. This one in particular might be from the Rebellion Era, but you don't want to hear the small stuff: you want to hear the music! Here's "Stayin' Alive" by the Beesgees!"

As the music began, Rey started dancing a little in her seat, smiling at the upbeat tone of the music.

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk/I'm a woman's man: no time to talk/Music loud and women warm, I've been kicked around/Since I was born/And now it's all right, it's okay/And you may look the other way/We can try to understand/The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother/You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'/And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Well now, I get low and I get high/And if I can't get either, I really try/Got the wings of heaven on my shoes/I'm a dancin' man and I just can't lose/You know it's all right, it's okay/I'll live to see another day/We can try to understand/The New York Times' effect on man

By this time, Rey had arrived at what she liked to call her "lucky scrap heap" but decided to leave the radio on while she turned the speeder off. She wanted to finish the song while she searched for salvageable parts. By this time, she was attempting to sing along with the fast-paced lyrics.

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother/You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'/And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah/Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah, I'm stayin' alive

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk/I'm a woman's man: no time to talk/Music loud and women warm/I've been kicked around since I was born/And now it's all right, it's okay/And you may look the other way/We can try to understand/The New York Times' effect on man

Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother/You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'/And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive/Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah/Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah/I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah/Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah/I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah/Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah/I'm stayin' alive

Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me/Somebody help me, yeah/Life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah/I'm stayin' alive

The song then ended, and she was about to turn off the radio when the announcer said, "Well, folks, if you liked that one, I've got huge news for you: we're selling copies of our music from our tower in Niima Outpost! If you wish to own this lovely bit of music, just come to our tower with three quarter portions and a music-carrying and -playing device and we can get it to you!"

Rey then turned off the radio and thought hard as she began her morning scavenging. It was a small price to pay, but she had no such device to keep a song. She had to find one in the scrap heap. She searched hard for what she needed not just for Unkar Plutt, but also to get the music she wanted. She even stayed outside for a little bit longer to get the extra pieces that she needed to get some extra portions to get a few more songs. She fastened everything onto her speeder before mounting it, turning it on, and speeding to Niima Outpost. She first visited Plutt and only managed to get four portions for her extra haul, but it was enough for the songs that she wanted plus some dinner for the night. She hurried to the radio tower and managed to get the songs that she wanted. She strapped her device to the speeder and went to her home. She took off the device and secured her speeder before going inside. Once inside, she added another scratched tally mark on the wall and made her dinner. She then set up the device and started playing "Stayin' Alive" again. She smiled as she thought of the happiness this must have brought to so many people during the reign of the Empire.

She then turned off the music and went to sleep, ready to face another day of waiting.

"Mum, Dad, please come get me tomorrow," she softly prayed before her eyes fluttered shut.


Okay, this was kinda cool to write, but the end ended up being a little feelsy to me! In any case, I hope that you like it! If you have any suggestions for songs or scenes, please don't hesitate to PM me or put it in the reviews!
