A/N: So Bad Lip Reading recently uploaded a full version of "Seagulls! (Stop it now)" and I have been wanting that for sooooo long (and it's pretty awesome), but it also reminded me that I still had to make an explanation for "Not the Future". So, here it is.
There will be less explaining to do this time, because this song just makes more sense than "Bushes of Love".
Disclaimer: I don't own Star Wars. Neither does Bad Lip Reading, but they came up with this song and they're complete geniuses.
oo0O0oo
So, just like last time, let's start with the full lyrics.
Chewbacca: Haaaaaaaaa!
C-3PO: I think it's about time that I walk away, walk away
So I turn around and walk away but then I look back
Sad lady make me turn and walk away again
Unnamed Voice: Even though it looks like it's the future
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth
Yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And no one notices
Luke: Well I messed up
Yeah I made a mistake
I can't sleep, have to find your place soon
My tailor's awesome, all the people looking
Rolling like I'm platinum
(Haaaaaaa!)
You I've gone a long way to change my mind about us since I've seen you
But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city
And I'm on my way
Girl, there's something that you need to know
Unnamed Voice: Even though it looks like it's the future
(Ah!)
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
And just remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And no one notices
Ahhhhhh, space station blown away
(It's not the future)
Ahhhhhh, floating in the diaper tank
(It's not the future)
Ahhhhhh, space leprechaun fade away
(It's not the future)
Ahhhhhh, cyborg with no big boy words to say
(It's not the future)
R2-D2: Get turnt, get real turnt
Get turnt, get, get real turnt
Luke: Well I'm jaywalker got a lot of fresh damage, oh no
I can't always be around to explore foreign love
Overflowing for your love
At night I'm sure that when we argue makes me dream about those demon fishies
It's not the way that it's meant to be and
I bless your outfit, mmm, that's a good choice
C-3PO: What is he saying I don't understand
Luke: Listen girl,
I hope the heartbreak leaves me on the weekend
Unnamed Voice: Even though it looks like it's the future
(Ah!)
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
And just remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And it's a place where
Little furry creatures dance, but they're not teddy bears
They're an alien equivalent
And they may rage in familiar trees but it's not the Redwoods you see
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh oh
It's something else indeed
(It's something else indeed)
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh oh
C-3PO: Time to break it down, break it down, down, down, down
Luke: Yeah I was big in Japan,
I was king of ping pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba and I'm sure you'd like me to bounce
C-3PO: Master I need one of these
Do they come in threes?
'Cause I need to squeeze them
Chewbacca: Yeahhh
Luke: Yeah I was big in Japan,
I was king of ping-pong
Yeah I was bad at tuba and I'm sure you'd like me to bounce
Unnamed Voice: Sometimes that moment when you wish you could run and hide
Is when you find you need a new hyperdrive
We all sometimes wish we could get away
And if you try
You gotta just make sure if you hide in a cave that it's
Really not some giant space snake
Even though it looks like it's the future
(Ah!)
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
And just remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And no one notices
Even though it looks like it's the future
(Ah!)
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
And just remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And no one notices
R2-D2: Get turnt, get real turnt
Get turnt, get, get real turnt
(It's not the future)
Get turnt, get real turnt
Get turnt, get, get real turnt
(It's not the future)
(It's not the future)
oo0O0oo
So, let's crack on with the explanation. This song is about two things: trying to explain that Star Wars is in the past, not the future, and on different worlds, but also about Luke trying to make up for the mistakes he made with his girlfriend(s). He didn't listen to Obi-Wan's advice (about the bushes, remember?).
Haaaaaaaaa!
Chewie is sad because Haaaaaaaan still hasn't returned and the gate is closed.
I think it's about time that I walk away, walk away
So I turn around and walk away but then I look back
Sad lady make me turn and walk away again
Threepio feels he should give the princess some time alone to process everything, but hesitates. One look at her sad face is enough to convince him to leave.
Even though it looks like it's the future
It's really a long, long time ago
When there were knights
And they got into fights
Using sabers of light
Please remember:
Even though some things look so familiar
(Ah!)
They're not really on earth
Yeah it's a galaxy far, far away
Alien DNA
Walking 'round every day
And no one notices
This is basically a summary of what Star Wars is about. It's just a longer version of "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…"
Well I messed up
Yeah I made a mistake
I can't sleep, have to find your place soon
This is where it gets interesting to explain. Luke is suffering from a breakup with his girlfriend. He admits he made a mistake (cheating on her with his sister?) and wants to talk about it.
My tailor's awesome, all the people looking
He bought new clothes for the occasion and everyone is like "Whaaaat?"
Rolling like I'm platinum
and he thinks he's awesome.
You I've gone a long way to change my mind about us since I've seen you
He explains how he had the time to make up his mind.
But I'm talking at my robot as you mill about the city
And I'm on my way
This suggests that the previous things were not said to her directly, but probably in a voicemail. (hands-free, because he's flying his X-wing, always fly safe)
Girl, there's something that you need to know
(Chorus)
A typical trying-to-discuss-important-things-with-your-girlfriend-but-you-panic-and-make-a-star-wars-reference-situation. (Everyone who ever watched The Big Bang Theory knows what I mean).
Space station blown away
Death Star, obviously
Floating in the diaper tank
Bacta tank
Space leprechaun fade away
Yoda dying
Cyborg with no big boy words to say
Lobot
Get turnt, get real turnt
Get turnt, get, get real turnt
According to Urban Dictionary, this could mean 'hyped', 'drunk', 'high' or 'f*cked up'.
Well I'm jaywalker got a lot of fresh damage, oh no
Luke just crossed the street illegally without looking to his right, his left and then his right again. He almost got hit by a speeder, but the driver could dodge him and crashed into a wall instead. Big damage.
I can't always be around to explore foreign love
Overflowing for your love
Here, we discover that Luke really is cheating on his girlfriend with Leia, but they are having an argument too. He tries to explain through a hologram video message that he doesn't always have time for her (cough because he's dating two girls at the same time cough) but still loves her.
At night I'm sure that when we argue makes me dream about those demon fishies
Every time they argued, he would have nightmares about 'demon fishies'. (Are those Luke's personal version of the chicken-duck-woman-thing? Trying to warn him about the dangers of love, especially when it's your sister? Should've listened to Obi-Wan, Luke.)
It's not the way that it's meant to be and
I bless your outfit, mmm, that's a good choice
He is trying to say how their love is too important to be destroyed by such a stupid argument, and tries to make her change her mind by complimenting her clothing. (Unfortunately, she doesn't take it well because she's only wearing a golden bikini)
What is he saying I don't understand
Threepio is a robot and doesn't understand what's so special about her outfit.
Listen girl,
I hope the heartbreak leaves me on the weekend
Oh, he's so desperate to keep her.
(Chorus)
And it's a place where
Little furry creatures dance, but they're not teddy bears
They're an alien equivalent
And they may rage in familiar trees but it's not the Redwoods you see
Alien trees on an alien moon, oh oh
Again, this speaks for itself. They're still going about the 'it's not the future and also not our planet' theme.
Time to break it down, break it down, down, down, down
Threepio tests his deejay-skills.
Yeah I was big in Japan,
I was king of ping pong
Few people know Luke once won the Ping Pong World Championship in Japan.
Yeah I was bad at tuba and I'm sure you'd like me to bounce
He had less luck when he tried to win America's got talent by playing tuba.
Master I need one of these
Do they come in threes?
'Cause I need to squeeze them
Let's be honest: who wouldn't want to have a baby Ewok?
Sometimes that moment when you wish you could run and hide
Is when you find you need a new hyperdrive
Let's count how many times the Falcon's hyperdrive worked in Empire strike back. (*Watches whole movie*) Once. Huh.
We all sometimes wish we could get away
And if you try
You gotta just make sure if you hide in a cave that it's
Really not some giant space snake
Who doesn't love a reference to the good old space slug?
(Chorus repeats several times)
oo0O0oo
So, that's about everything I could find. I hope it's enough, but like I said, this song simply makes more sense and is more self-explanatory than Bushes of Love.
Not sure if I'm going to do Seagulls! (Stop it now) too. It's even more self-explanatory. Unless… (*sees hidden meaning in song that is literally about seagulls attacking a space leprechaun during his stroll on the beach*)
