SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:58 Min.
Off his 1985 comedy album, Dare to Be Stupid, “Weird Al” Yankovic parodies The Empire Strikes Back’s Yoda and his mentorship of Jedi Knights. For this faux soft rock tune, Yankovic lifts the melody from The Kinks’ 1970 song, “Lola.”
REVIEW:
To Yankovic’s credit, his vocals make good on the wacky lyrics, as best as one could expect. During a first listening, the melody may be hard to place, no matter how vaguely familiar it sounds. Even so, it should mildly amuse Star Wars fans of any age. This overly repetitive novelty tune would make ideal cover material for The Big Bang Theory’s Howard & Raj in their two-man band: Footprints on the Moon.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6 Stars
