In Other Words...

I Wanna Shoot at Somebody

*As sung to "I Wanna Dance with Somebody, by Whitney Houston*
*Please note the disclaimers following the song.*

*Assorted oohs and ahhs*

Cartann speaks; the Rogues are banished
Run a gauntlet to get free.
Avoid the streets; stay in the alleys
And remember how to scream.
Get to the Blades and grab some sky
Thirty fighters--Janson's down.
Gotta get out of here, but there's nothing to fear...

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up on sombody.
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up on sombody.
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Now it's decided, and we're committed
The hammer's on the way.
Just enough time to figure out
Where the ambush should be laid.
Who'll be the one to take the chance?
The whole idea just makes me dance.
So now silence falls, and my mournful heart calls...

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up on sombody.
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up...
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Chorus (Wedge, Tycho, and Wes):
What'd he just say? What'd he just say?

Frustration will kill me.

Chorus:
What'd he just say? What'd he just say?

This is my call to arms! Oh...

Who'll be the one to take the chance?
The whole idea just makes me dance.
So now silence falls, and my mournful heart calls...

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up on sombody.
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Oh, I wanna shoot at somebody.
I wanna beat up on somebody.
Yeah, I wanna shoot at somebody.
Or frustration'll kill me.

Ooo-oh, ooh!

Chorus: What?!

C'mon Tycho!

Chorus: What?!

Ooh, yeah!

Chorus: What?!

Chorus: What?!

Chorus: What?!

Disclaimers:

As always, this parody intends no copywrite infringement on Ms. Houston or the original author of "I Wanna Dance." In fact, the author would like to thank them for an exceptionally fun song.

Second, the song was written according to the version I have in my personal collection. If you would like to hear my copy, please contact me at asyrseilar@yahoo.com,and we will arrange a file transfer.

Lastly, I would like to state the blatantly obvious: this song was based on the scene in Starfighters of Adumar where Hobbie wants to, ahem... shoot at somebody. Also, it doesn't follow the original lyrics as closely as Bothan did, but I don't think it'll create too many problems. Have fun!
