ORIGINAL SONG: "Sara" Starship (1985).
STYLES: Arena rock; pop/rock; soft rock; classic rock; power ballad.
NOTES: This came to me suddenly, as I not only realized Sara and Clara rhymed, but the original song's first verse, especially, has lyrics that could really fit BTTF 1. I had to change it to Part 3 so the rhyme would make sense, though. Even though this is thematically very close to the "Boys of Summer" parody, it does take a slightly different view.
Great Scott! Stuck in 1885.
Oh no! The lightning made me go back in time.
I get a photo at the clocktower.
Townsfolk are a lot nicer.
But nothing's the same, since I met her.
CHORUS
Clara, Clara.
Saved you from a horse wagon ride.
Clara, Clara.
No time is a good time for goodbyes.
NEXT VERSE
Danger, the festival, Buford started a fight.
Marty. Marty saved us with the throw of a pie plate.
I'm a good blacksmith in this old town.
The timeline is changin' all 'round.
But without you now, I'm just feelin' down.
CHORUS 2
Clara, Clara.
A woman who's into science.
Clara, Clara.
No time is a good time…
Oh, Clara, Clara.
Don't wanna leave you tonight.
Clara, Clara.
Sadly I have to tell you goodbye.
BRIDGE
(Oh, Clara) Slap me like no one has ever slapped me before.
(And Clara) Hurt me, nothing could ever hurt me more..
Clara!
I swear I'm from the future.
SLIGHT GUITAR SOLO
I'll never find another girl like you.
With my invention, a dream has come true.
Clara, Clara.
No time is a good time…
Oh, Clara, Clara.
I belong in 1985.
Clara, Clara.
No time is a good time for goodbyes.
REPEAT ABOVE CHORUS 2X, BEGIN FADE-OUT
Why did it? Why did it? Why did the car fall apart?
