Harry Potter (to the tune of "Pretty Woman"


LYRICS

Harry Potter, you live beneath the stairs.
Harry Potter, you've got unruly hair.
Harry Potter, the giant Hagrid he comes to call
You're not a Muggle after all
(Wizard)
(Alohamora)

Harry Potter, you've got a cloaking cape
Harry Potter, beware Professor Snape
Harry Potter, up in the tower you have your room
You started flying on a broom
(Nimbus)

Harry Potter I'm quite sure
You'll like your life in Gryffindor
Harry Potter, you cast your spell on me
Harry Potter, when school starts
You'll fight against the darker arts
Harry Potter you cast your spell on me

Harry Potter, your books are super keen,
I love your bogey-flavored jelly bean.
Harry Potter, you're playin' Quidditch up in the sky
But just beware the evil eye.
(Voldemort! Aaah!)
(He-who-must-not-be-named!)

Harry Potter, I think you will go far
Harry Potter, I dig your facial scar
Harry Potter, when you grow up what will you be?
When will you marry Hermione?
(Book Seven)
(I do...ha ha... I'm so pretty..ha ha..

Harry Potter, please don't end
Harry Potter, you're my friend
Harry Potter, I'll miss you when you're gone

Harry Potter, let me look
At the end of the seventh book
I gotta know how things turn out for you

Harry Potter


Moosebutter's Tribute to John Williams


LYRICS

[Close Encounters of the Droid Kind]
You must use the force (repeat ad nauseum)

[Raiders of the Lost Wookiee]
Long time ago, far far away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie, kick a droid
Fly the falcon through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it!

Come and help me, Obi Wan
X-wing fighter and a blaster gun
Dance with Ewoks, oh what fun!
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it!

[Super Han]
Get in there you big, furry oaf
I couldn't care less what you smell
I take orders from only me
Maybe you'd like it back in your cell
Your Highness, your worshipfulness, your highness, your worshipfulness

No one cares if you upset a droid
(nobody cares if you upset a droid)
That's because droids don't tear your arms out of socket.
(nobody cares)
I suggest a new strategy: let the Wookie win
That's because nobody cares if you upset a droid.

[ET the DiscoTerrestrial]
Now we listen to Luke whining:
One more season... One more season... One more season... One more season...

I was gonna go to Tashi Station for power converters
Now I guess I'm going nowhere.
It just isn't fair.

[Jaws: the Wookiee]
Wooookie (repeat)

Someone move this walking carpet (repeat)

Kiss your brother, Kiss your brother (repeat)

Princess Leia
Well I guess you don't know anything about women.

Who's your daddy? (repeat)

[Jurassic Darth]
Luke, I'm your father
(That's not true!)
It is useless to resist
(My hand!)
Come with me my son, We will rule
(I'll never join you!)
Search your feelings it is true

So you have a twin sister
Who Obi Wan was wise to hide
(Is that Leia?)
If you will not turn
Then perhaps she will
Give in to your hate
You are mine

Long Long Long Time ago... Far Far Far Far Away

Long Long Long Time Ago, Far Far Far Away (repeat)

Kiss a wookie
Kick a droid
Fly the falcon
Through an asteroid
Till the princess is annoyed
(She's annoyed!)
This is spaceships, it's monsters, it's Star Wars, we love it, it's true

Episode 3
Coming to you
In 2005

So Let's go
(go go go to the movies)
Stand in line
(buy buy buy me some popcorn)
Cause it's al-
(please I'd like extra butter)
most the time
(Join the dark side...)
May the Force be with you all

John Williams is the man

At first, Coraline is intrigued and delighted by the similarities and improvements to her real life, but when this seemingly perfect world begins to unravel at the seams and her "Other" parents (played by Teri Hatcher and John Hodgman) attempt to ensnare her permanently, Coraline must draw on talents she never knew she had to break free and rescue her family. The film will be in Theatres Feb. 6th

Guy Williams - Zorro, Prof. Robinson, and cousin Will Cartwright.

In today's videos, lets look back at an under-rated actor who is fondly remembered - Guy Williams was born on January 14, 1924, as Armand Joseph Catalano by his family) of Italian parentage, at the Fort George area in New York City.

On May 7th, 1989 the local police found his body in his apartment in La Recoleta, Argentina. finding his dead body. He had suffered a brain aneurysm a week before that day. He was still wearing the characteristic Zorro's sideburns and mustache when they found him.

While best known for his roles in "Zorro" (1957-1959) and "Lost in Space" (1965-1968), Williams career might have taken a completely different path if Pernell Roberts had left "Bonanza" in 1964. Williams returned to Hollywood to resume his career, and was added to the cast of the NBC's hit TV series "Bonanza" (1959-1973) as Ben's nephew, Will Cartwright. Pernell Roberts (Adam Cartwright), planned to leave the show at the end of the 1964 season, overlapping with Williams for five episodes, with Williams replacing Roberts' in the four-Cartwright format. Instead, Roberts decided late in the season to stay for one more year before departing. The episode in which the woman "Adam" was originally going to marry was rewritten so that she wound up unexpectedly choosing to leave with "Will Cartwright" instead, with Adam's selfless blessing. The popular series ran for nine more years.

The following are some of what we remember best about Guy Williams, his charm, his athleticism, his love of life.
