Freak on a Leash

One thing that I have always enjoyed doing - ever since I was a kid - is changing the lyrics of songs, making parodies that make the song about something completely different. Here's an example. I wrote this one some time around 2004.

To the tune of Freak on a Leash by Korn:

Sometimes I’m called Padme
Sometimes Amidala is me.
Every time you think you see me
Handmaiden steps out and it’s me, it’s me.

Trade federation’s messin’ with me (you wanna start a fight)
Blockin’ our trade so we can’t be free (so do I)
Send a Jedi to negotiate (you wanna big fight)
I tried to but it was all in vain, in vain

(chorus)
Sometimes there’s paint upon my face
With little dots in different place
I take my wardrobe every place
In case I need a change of pace
Some would call me Padme
As I tour the galaxy
Blackbird spaceship takin’ me
Some would call me Padme.

Couple of Jedi try to save me (just like "A New Hope")
Shoot the wall to help us get free (familiar)
How many times have I seen that scene? (since ’77)
Originality would be neat

CHORUS

(cut to a light saber fight with the two Jedi and Darth Maul)
11x Boom hum whiz whoom huh na wheeda da

(Obi-wan)
NO!

       /Oi! You kill Qui Gon
4x<  Jinn now,
       \Hey! Now you must die!

Some would call me Padme
As I tour the galaxy
Blackbird spaceship takin’ me
Some would call me Padme.

Padme....
