Rodian of Constant Sorrow (with many, many apologies to the Soggy Bottom Boys)

(In constant sorrow through his days )

I'm a Rodian of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Mos Eisley
The place where I was born and raised.
(The place where he was born and raised )

For six long years I've smuggled trouble
No pleasures on this world found
For in this system I'm bound to ramble
I have no friends to help me now.

(chorus) He has no friends to help him now

It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride this ol' used freighter
Perhaps I'll die outside Yavin.

(chorus) Perhaps he'll die outside Yavin.

You can bury me in / some Naboo valley
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another
While vynocks spawn up from my grave.

(chorus) While vynocks spawn up from his grave.

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
And maybe you will think it true.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you at the cloning booth.

(chorus) He'll meet you at the cloning booth.

Very nice! Would you mind if I sang that sometime, giving you full credit for the lyrics of course. Which song do you like it sung to?

Ooh that's great!

Thanks for sharing

I'll be sure to sing the chorus if ever I hear it in game

Sure sure. I'm Tudok on Lowca if you want to credit me. I can't think of an appropriate song to fit the lyrics to, so let me know what you find. I've only got Musicianship 2, working on 3, so I can't exactly experiment broadly.

heh Glad you like it. My Weird Al-skills are coming to be of good use. If anyone has any other suggestions for songs and subjects,I'll be glad to mull through them. It's just this song has been in my head for the past three days and, well, I'm playing a Rodian.

That is great! And since you don't mind, I will be using it as well...giving credit to you of course. I think it would be funny if enough of us new this song that people started requesting it from time to time! Instead of Freebird people could come in yelling RODIAN!!!!!!

You should come by the Tyrena Cantina sometime and perform with the group that's in there. (We're almost always there, and very seldom are their AFKers in the big group.) Heck, I'll even set up hotkeys for different parts of the song and "sing" it, if we can figure out what tune it fits with... =)

That's awesome. Most excellent post.

That's really cool.

I play a Rodian Dancer/Musician on Eclipse, and suffer the fate of not being a hot twilek dancer girl.

Whereas I play a Rodian Smuggler/Musician on Lowca, and suffer the fate of not seeing any hot Rodian dancers.

C'est la vie.
