As we celebrate the 25th anniversary of RETURN OF THE JEDI, Andrew reminds us not to forget about the heroic Ewoks.
LYRICS:
It's been a quarter of a century now, people, since the Rebels won the day
They destroyed that evil empire and the galaxy was saved
Han Solo, Luke, Leia, Lando -- they're the heroes we all recall
But let's not forget about their big-hearted friends who are only one meter tall
I'm talking about the Ewoks
They were more than just cute, cuddly bears
Let's give some credit to the Ewoks
Without their help, the Alliance didn't have a prayer.
I was surfin' the Star Wars message boards and Lord, I was shocked to read
All the haters puttin' down the Ewoks -- they say they ruined the first trilogy
Well, they may have been added for the children and they may have been comic relief
And it may not make sense that they could beat Stormtroopers with such primitive weaponry
But why you hatin' on the Ewoks?
Tell me what did they ever do to you?
Where's the love for the Ewoks?
Let's give it up 'cause it's long overdue (clap your hands now)
EWOKS -- they're tiny warriors
EWOKS -- they fought so bravely
EWOKS -- livin' like the Amish
EWOKS, EWOKS
(take it Billy Dee...)
After Princess Leia crashed her Speederbike, who had our sister's back? (the Ewoks!)
And who was it that led the Rebels to the bunker backdoor for their sneak attack? (the Ewoks!)
And at the end of Act 2 when all was lookin' bad, who set those captured Rebels free (the Ewoks!)
Can somebody remind me who throws the hottest treetop parties in the galaxy?
You know he's talking about the Ewoks
They've still got it goin' on after twenty-five years
Ewoks! Sing it loud so all those haters can hear
EWOKS -- they're inspirational
EWOKS -- they sold so many toys
EWOKS -- a yub-nub now
EWOKS, EWOKS

Yes, I made a fan music video. However, this one is different, as there are no other music
Yes, I made a fan music video. However, this one is different, as there are no other music videos on Youtube of this song about this subject. So, thank you for your indulgence.
This is a music video of a song by Eric D. Snider (www.ericdsnider.com) about Ken Jennings (www.ken-jennings.com). Ken Jennings, of course, was noted for his 74-game winning streak on American TV's Jeopardy! in 2004. Eric is an online movie critic, humor columnist, and musical wit--kind of a Roger Ebert, Dave Barry, and "Weird Al" Yankovic all rolled into one. Both are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons, LDS), were born in 1974, attended the same university (BYU) that I did, are very intelligent, watch a lot of movies, and have good senses of humor.
Here's an entertaining column wherein Eric describes meeting Ken in late 2006:
http://www.ericdsnider.com/snide/ken-you-believe-it/
Ken's blog entry describing the same event is here:
http://ken-jennings.com/blog/?p=204
The song is a parody of "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers. About the middle of the song, Stephen Colbert and David Letterman make brief cameos. Neil Armstrong (possibly Buzz Aldrin), Tom Cruise, Mitt Romney, Rodin's "The Thinker" and Michelangelo's "David" (no nudity, though) also get featured. (Did I just name drop to get additional hits to this video? Yes I did. Why do you think this description is so long?)
Fellow Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be A Millionaire champs Brad Rutter, Kevin Olmstead and Nancy Christy also get featured, as well as Bob Boden, a game show enthusiast. Also, Nancy Zerg, who beat Ken Jennings. And a nerd superman.
The rest (like Oprah Winfrey) get named in the lyrics.
By the way, that's Eric at the beginning of the song playing a song which is not the one you're hearing. If you're interested, you can hear that song, "Safety First," a parody of "Choose the Right" here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4y3sRDq0d0
That's also him singing "The Scully Song," about Agent Dana Scully of "The X-Files," in this video:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=jfm0tXO-OiI
(5/12/08) You can now purchase this song, the album it comes from ("Monkeys and Pirates are Funny") or Eric's other album ("Will Make Jokes for Food") through Snocap for 99 cents per song or $9.99 per album here: http://www.ericdsnider.com/blog/2008/05/12/erics-cds-are-ava ilable-again-sort-of/
Also, you can listen to this and a few more of his songs here:

Here are the lyrics of the song:
Coming out of Salt Lake
and I was doing real nice
I could always ring first
with my signaling device.
I had questions for all
of the answers they gave.
It was not a tight game
It was not a close shave.
I was up by a lot
When we got to the end
Alex told me I'd won
That the winner was Ken.
For the next several weeks
I would win every time
My opponents were geeks
But they were facing Ken Jennings
I could not stop winning
I'm too smart!
I'll be a star
A nerd icon
A game show King Kong
Jeopardy!
Makes a rich Saint out of me
My Church will say "Oh my heck!"
When they see my tithing check.
I'm a Mormon millionaire!
Maybe faced with dorky hair
You can't beat me, don't even try,
'Cause I'm Mr. Bright Guy.
After seventy-four games
I was on quite a streak
People tuned in to watch
like I was some kind of freak
Household name I became
"Hey, it's squeaky-clean slouch"
Oh, without posing nude,
or jumping on Oprah's couch.
But on show 75
I began to have trouble
'Cause I kept screwing up
When I hit Daily Doubles.
By the end of the game,
I was up but not much
And then Final Jeopardy! came
And I disappointed Alex
When I wrote "What is Fed Ex?"
I was wrong!
My reign was done
I left in shock
It was H&R Block.
Jeopardy!
I was making history
A Mormon who is notable
For knowing potent potables.
But all good things have to end
Trebek says we can still be friends
My fifteen minutes have gone by
But I'm Mr. Bright Guy.
Additional Credits:
Thanks to jdkresz, darijoe, foundonfloor, and kraut63, for uploading clips of and about Jeopardy that were used in the video, as well as knobodi for the clip of the earth exploding. The painting that appears during the lyrics "I was making" is "Blacksmith Shop Scene" by Herman Geisen, circa 1950. Various other images were found at various places on the internet (including several from ken-jennings.com). I altered some of them, and I believe their use here is allowed under free use.
Hope you enjoy it.

BEFORE YOU TELL ME, yes, I do muddle the words up near the end really badly, and start to mumble, I am aware :P And the guitaring's not perfect, especially towards the end. But other than that, feel free to give me advice or constructive critisism! Thanks :]

Wait until after the awesome hand-jig and be amazed. Now comes with blurriness AND the moment near the end where I fall over and kill my toes - but keep going!

Let me clarify: This is all one take; there is no editing except the words at the beginning. This is also the original. These are my hands.
Thanks for all the positive feedback!
