DARTH VADER SINGS "MY DAY"

Logo após ter se transformado em Darth Vader em "STAR WARS: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith" e antes que John Williams compusesse para ele o tema sinfônico "Imperial March" em "O Império Contra-Ataca", o ex-jedi Anakin Skywalker tratou logo de improvisar sua canção-tema.

Pegando emprestada a melodia de "My Way" (que já havia sido "roubada" por Paul Anka da música francesa "Comme d'Habitude", composta por Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibault, Claude François), e usando seus terríveis poderes, o mais novo dark lord of the Sith do Imperador Palpatine convenceu Frank Jacobs a escrever uma letra sobre a famosa melodia para dar idéia a nós, pobres mortais, de como é o seu dia no Lado Negro da Força...

"MY DAY"
(Música de Jacques Revaux, Gilles Thibault, Claude François. Letra de Frank Jacobs)

Each day
I must prepare
to took my best
For each attack here!
I love
The cape I wear
I'm always dressed
In basic black here!
I then
Put on my mask
I have it shined
Each week on Friday!
And this
Should tell you how
I'm starting
My day!

At noon
I have a meal
Of molten lead
On shredded granite!
And if
Depressed I feel,
I wipe out dead
A passing planet!
Each world
That's blown to bits
Can turn a low
Into a high day!
And this
Should tell you how
I'm spending
My day!

Then later on
'Bout half-past three,
I ter-ror-ize
A gal-ax-y!
I blast their ships!
They pay the price
Until they call
Me "Mister Nice"!
To me they bow
And that is how
I'm spending
My day!

At four
I burn alive
A rebel crew
That I am seizing!
And then
Just after five,
When work is throught,
I practice wheezing!
I've had
A nif-ty time
Real peachy-keen
An apple-pie day!
And that
Should tell you how
I'm spending
My day!

But should someone say
My breath is bad
Well, golly gee,
That makes me mad!
He'll find his fate
Is rather grim
When I bend down
And breathe on him!

And as he dies
With awful cries
I'M ENDING
MY DAY!

E nessa mesma noite, na mais cara e bem freqüentada boate de Coruscant, o Príncipe Xizor - aliado do Imperador Palpatine - também deu uma canja cantando "Bastidores", de Chico Buarque de Hollanda. "Canteeeeei!... Canteeeeei!..."
