(Pictured with Bethany in the first photo is her keyboardist, Rob Clearfield.)Bethany Hamilton, also known to ForceCast listeners as "The Jedi Princess of Jazz," appeared on
the Christmas 2011 edition of A Galaxy Of Music to share three awesome holiday tunes. If you'd like to follow along with Bethany's lyrics while you listen, we've got them right here!
"Darth Vader Is Coming to Town"
You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
Or you're gonna die
Darth Vader is coming to town
He's making a list
Of who will suffice
Promotions around here aren't always nice
Darth Vader is coming to town
Don't let him catch you sleeping
Don't dare make a mistake
Don't matter if you're bad or good
Watch your neck for goodness sake!
Oh, you better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
'Cause someone will die
Darth Vader is coming to town!
"Let it Blow, Let it Blow, Let it Blow!"
Oh the Death Star out there is frightful
But our victory so rightful
Since we started this long ago
Let it Blow! Let it Blow! Let it Blow!
Palps doesn't show signs of stopping
And his employees all keep dropping
They don't make enough dough, (so)
Let it Blow! Let it Blow! Let it Blow!
When we finally win this fight
How I'll hate the electrical storm!
But since Vader turned back to light
All the way home, we'll reform!
The debris is slowly falling
And, Rebels, we're still recalling
But as long as the Force-ghosts glow
Let it Blow! Let it Blow! Let it Blow!
"The BFD Song -- Vader Roasting on an Open Pyre (The Christmas Song)"
Vader roasting on an open pyre
Ewoks dancing at your toes
Trooper helmets being played by the fire
And pilots dressed in orange clothes
Everybody knows a Death Star or a Hoth-like snow
Won’t hinder those who celebrate
Padawans with their sabers aglow
Will find it hard to meditate
They know that Wampa’s on his way
They’ll leave him goodies to keep his hunger at bay
And every youngling child is gonna spy
To see if AT-ATs really know how to fly
And so I’m sending out this transmission
To creatures from human to Acklay
It hasn’t been said many ways, well just one:
Happy Balanced Force Day.
Have Yourself a Happy Balanced Force Day
(Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas)
Have yourself a happy Balanced Force Day
Let the Force be light
From now on the Empire will be out of sight
Have yourself a happy Balanced Force Day
Sing & dance & play
From now on our Jedi Knights will lead the way
Here we are as in olden days, Old Republic days long passed
Faithful Rebels who gave your lives, victory arrives at last
Through the years we all will be together
If the Whills allow
We'll restore the galaxy someday, somehow
So have yourself a happy Balanced Force Day now
