Please, someone, come rescue me.
Tell me my destiny.
Help me to simply slide
Into being what I am meant to be.
This may be the single most insightful piece of Star Wars filk I’ve ever heard. “Come Rescue Me,” by Kari Maaren
For space is wide and good friends are too few.
Please, someone, come rescue me.
Tell me my destiny.
Help me to simply slide
Into being what I am meant to be.
This may be the single most insightful piece of Star Wars filk I’ve ever heard. “Come Rescue Me,” by Kari Maaren
“This song was inspired partly by Sandra Kasturi’s deliberately terrible poem, “Starcats!” (written for ChiZine’s twisted tribute to National Poetry Month, Shitty Poetry Month), and partly by my memories of being bullied and ostracized all through my childhood. If only I had had some Starcats to come rescue me. Ah well. At least I have the satisfaction of knowing that all my bullies likely now have prosperous families and careers, while I live in a box and must reapply for my job every four months! Er, wait…”
Unsurprisingly, I guess, the legendary (at least, I think she should be legendary) songwriter of “Everybody Hates Elves,” has another one about dwarves.
“Everybody Hates Elves,” by Kari Maaren
You know it’s true.
