AUTHOR'S NOTES: THE EXPERTS AGREE!!!
"I love your work, you're a guy very much after my own heart… I get a lot of guys sending me their songs but only one or two guys actually fit the original songs and can get past simple rhyming, and you're definitely up there, probably the best." – Steven Cavanaugh, parody master of Songbook of the Whills
Okay, enough of blowing my own horn. I know that updates aren't as frequent as they've been in the past, but don't start digging my grave just yet. While I would love to do this for a living (i.e. have no other responsibilities, get paid, etc.), real life must occasionally intrude. And yes, the well of song ideas isn't overflowing anymore, it's far from dry. I'm working on a few right now, and I have a few requests to look into. As to how long I'll be able to keep this up, the only answer I'll commit to is that I'll keep putting parodies up here as long as I'm able to keep up the standard of quality. I'd rather write 60 good parodies and quit than write 100 lousy parodies. Whether or not I do hit the 100 mark, I'll keep this story up forever. Yes indeed, these songs are going to be a part of this site until the very site croaks and dies (which won't be for a very long time). Finally, don't think I take all of the reviews for granted. Feedback is my creative intravenous; if I had received no reviews, I would have given up long ago. I plan to do a reviewer tribute once I reach 50.
As for this song, I hacked away at most of it, since it has way to many layers to parody at once. I only parodied the "top" layer, and you can add all of that wickie-wickie nonsense yourself. Anyhoo, I think I've finally done a song that does Boba Fett justice.
Wild Wild FettPremise: The toughest hired gun in the galaxy.
To: Will Smith's "Wild Wild West"
Wild wild Fett
Boba Fett, bounty hunter
Mercenary, ain't there nobody blunter
None of this, out-gunnin' this, or just stunnin' this
Mandalore soldier, look it's like I told ya
Any fugitive who's owing a debt
Be in a cold sweat when he meets Boba Fett
Sure bet, if you're hiding somewhere in space
Watch your back or flinch and get a hole in your face
In anyplace, just you be trustin' me
You'll either end up dead or in my custody
For the highest bid, since I was a kid, hunting's my game
Boba Fett, I'm your threat, so remember the name
Now who ya gonna call?
Not the IG's
Now who you gonna call?
F. E. double T.
If I'm lookin' for you don't try to hide,
Give up, before you get flash-fried, by the
(The Wild Wild Fett)
When you're runnin' from the
(The Wild Wild Fett)
Heavy gunnin' from the
(The Wild Wild Fett)
Getting pounced on by the
(The Wild Wild Fett)
You can't escape from
The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape from
The Wild Wild.. c'mon
Now, now, now
Now I'm doing what I do best
Chasin' the Falcon at Vader's behest
Solo, running around with a Princess
Now I must, put his skills to the test
Do you fear me?
Out from the shadows, ready to hassle, ready to battle
Bring all your droids in, guns a' noising
Behind my back, all that shooting you did,
Now I got you, now where's your guts at, kid?
Don't run from me!
Put a mark on my own mother, for enough wealth
Claiming all the big dough, and keep it for myself
You know Boba Fett's a mad man, do you fear that?
I got big weapons too; I hope you hear that
I'm the bounty hunting champion
Anyone who disagrees will meet my gun!
Understand me son, I'm the sickest there is
I'm the quickest there is
Did I say I'm the trickiest there is?
So if your hide has a, bounty, I'm comin'
Don't be startin' nothin', me and my weapons gonna combust your chest, gutless
Can't stand the heat, then give up to the Wild, Wild, Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild...
You can't escape ('SCAPE) from (FROM) the Wild Wild Fett (THE WILD WILD FETT)
You can't escape ('SCAPE) from (FROM)
The Wild Wild Fett (THE WILD WILD FETT)
Shootout!
Shootout!
Shootout!
Shootout!
Shootout!
Shootout!
If any outlaw, overdrawn, thinkin' you're bad
Any runnin' from Fett, best by an Olympiad
Don't even think about it, big guns, flyin' Slave I
Make you crash and burn (three… two… one...) just for fun, son *BOOM*
Time for the showdown, blastin' around
See where fugitives are to be found and run 'em aground
I'm huntin' with the best, leavin' nothin' for the rest
Don't mess with me, cause I am the
The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild..The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild Fett
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild..
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild Fett, c'mon
You can't escape, from,
The Wild Wild Fett (The Wild Wild Fett)
