Well, after 2 years I thought I'd finally unlurk and do another song and see
who remembers me from the golden old days. It's hardly my best work, but it's
my Chrissy present to r.a.s.s.m. Have a good Christ Mass, guys.

LIGHT UP YOUR LIFE    (To the Spice Girls' "Spice up your life")
By Steven Cavanagh (scavanag@sydney.dialix.oz.au)
As Sung by Obi-Wan, when giving Luke his lightsaber.

La la la la-la-la la la la
La la la la-la-la laaaaaaa

La la la la-la-la la la la
La la la la-la-la laaaaaaa

When you're feeling sad and blue
there is nothing this-cannot-cut-through!
Have a go and you will see
just make sure you keep-away-from-me.

People of the Force!             (light up your life)
It's the weapon of your choice!  (light up your life)
People of the Force!             (light up your life)
aaaaaAAAAA

SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (see the wall that it cuts through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only don't let it touch you)
THRUST IT TO THE FRONT           (and... oops, sorry Artoo!)
AAAAHHHHAAAaaaaaa
SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (now my cabin is see-through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only watch out for Artoo)
CLIP IT TO YOUR BELT             (and the Fashion is with you!)
Turn it on-hold tight!

La la la la-la-la la la la
La la la la-la-la laaaaaaa

La la la la-la-la la la la
La la la la-la-la laaaaaaa

Yellow, red and green ones too
Guess I'm boring: both-of-these-are-blue.
Not as clumsy as a gun
Some with two blades (but-they're-in-Part-1).

People of the Force!             (light up your life)
It's the weapon of your choice!  (light up your life)
People of the Force!             (light up your life)
aaaaaAAAAA

SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (see the wall that it cuts through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only don't let it touch you)
THRUST IT TO THE FRONT           (and... oops, sorry Artoo!)
AAAAHHHHAAAaaaaaa
SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (now my cabin is see-through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only watch out for Artoo)
CLIP IT TO YOUR BELT             (and the Fashion is with you!)
Turn-it-on-and-fight!

When you are
            a master
you can stop
            a blaster!
Cut catwalks
            and block shots
It comes from
            your father!

shakeitshakeitshakeit- right now!
shakeitshakeitshakeit- right now!
shakeitshakeitshakeit- right now!
aaaaaAAAAA

SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (see the wall that it cuts through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only don't let it touch you)
THRUST IT TO THE FRONT           (and... oops, sorry Artoo!)
AAAAHHHHAAAaaaaaa
SWING IT TO THE LEFT             (now my cabin is see-through!)
SHAKE IT TO THE RIGHT            (only watch out for Artoo)
CLIP IT TO YOUR BELT             (and the Fashion is with you!)
Turn-it-on-and-fight!

The real song is just too short. I wanted to put in another verse, like:

When the battery's running low
Energizers are the way to go.
Making one's the final test
Have a go, Luke - dad'll be impressed.

:-)
