Today is Election day in America and the whole World is scared. Being a Canadian while watching this happen, knowing your hands are tied, is really surreal. I mean, sure, you can voice your opinions on any social media platform that you'd like, but it's hard to know if that will make any difference at all.
But maybe this Celebrity cry out in a "We are the World" type song will manage to somehow get across to Americans how important it is for them to vote today
As you may have noticed by the title, this song is NSFW, but worth watching anyway

It's not a far reach from Maroon 5's "Moves Like Jagger" to Moves Like Jabba, so I can see why more than one parody came out of it, despite the fact that Mick Jagger and a hermaphroditic slug have very little in common other than in name.
First off, the crazy minds over at MADtv came up with this little gem.
It's a cute little cartoon with lots of fun little cameos. The song itself isn't great, but the animation makes up for it.
This one, on the other hand, is the opposite. The song is much better but the production value is much lower, which is ok, because it's still really fun.
[Han Solo] Oh! He's Jabba the Hut He's a gangster 90% percent butt High Blood Pressure On this pleasure barge, he always lives large with pig bodyguards
He never wears clothes Cuz he's baller He puts on these shows Girl's wear collars She danced for a bit Got dropped in the pit Now she's rancor sh** cause he rolls like this
Lick you with his tongue On the trap door Don't get it on your face He has cold sores
Move like Jabba I'm eating food like Jabba Wish I could mooooooove... like Jabba
No Jedi mind tricks can control him The force bounces off his double chin
With them moves like Jabba He's got big boobs like Jabba I gotta moooooooove... like Jabba
[Slave Lea] My little bro, is a jedi knight and you got my man stuck in carbonite So fat and greedy Prolly got diabetes Like Willfred Brimly
So eat them frogs Cuz this won't end nice Grab this chain, ooh Jabba, take your life
You put me in this slave outfit My little bro will see this Can't believe we kissed Ohhhhhh oh oh! I think he liked it
[Han Solo] His big slimy tongue will seduce you laugh like Salacious Crumb when he shows you
All these moves like Jabba I'm getting nude like Jabba I gotta mooooooove... like Jabba
Goes to Space Buffets and eats it all That's why he's got really high Cholesterol
With the moves like Jabba We've got the moves like Jabba I've got the moooooooves... like Jabba
Oh and incase you have no idea what any of this is parodying, here is the original video by Maroon 5
Sure, the scripting wasn't great and it's hard to make bad wording look good on screen, but it's not all bad, right? I know it's not the original trilogy, but cut it some slack. They brought an entire new generation of kids into the Star Wars fold and I think that's important.
Even I was brought into the Star Wars Universe during the Prequels, so I admit, I have a soft spot for them.
Don't get me wrong, they're no original trilogy, but I do feel that they have their place in the EU.
The guys at teddiefilms.com do not agree with me though. They disagree so much that they parodied a song about it.
Yes, parodies are all the rage these days and I will post as many as I like :P
Don't worry, I'm trying to only post the good ones.
So, what do you think about the Prequels? Do you like them? Do you watch them? Do you hate me know for admitting that I do?
Also, my best friend Jocey. She thinks that March 23rd is much too far away and that she might have to re-read the series again before then. I totally can't blame her, because I was thinking about doing the exact same thing.
In the mean time, I though I would help tie us over with some parodies, musical or otherwise. Just keep in mind that if you haven't read the books yet, they might be a bit spoily.
First off we have Holly Laurent with a parody song of Lana Del Ray's Video Games.
I do seem to love the parodies of this song. They're just fantastic. Not to mention extremely clever.
This next one is based on the Bruno Mars song Grenade.

Lastly, but not least is a hilarious take on what might have happened when Gale came to say goodbye to Katniss by The Second City. He's just trying to help... right?
I want you so bad... to focus on hating the Capital... Booo Capital...
Poor Gale, stuck in the friend zone forever. Well, whatever, it's not like anyone can compete with the boy with the bread. At least not to me anyway.
Well, maybe Finnick. Is it just me or does he remind anyone else of Aquaman?
Sorry, I guess I'm skipping ahead a book.
There are a lot of great parodies out there as well as a lot of really bad ones as well, but the one thing they do have in common is that they all really love The Hunger Games.
Writer, actor and comedian, she's put together some great geeky parodies for us.
First off, we'll start with Video Games.
Certainly, you've heard Lana Del Ray's song Video Games. If not, check it out here before watching this video.
If I hadn't seen the other video, I wouldn't have gotten why she was acting so weird in it. Her lip syncing was driving me crazy until I realized that she was just making fun of Lana Del Ray. It's a cute parody though, and Jenny Bede has an amazing voice.
Here is another great one by her, featuring none other than Harry Potter and Hermione (and a crazy looking Ron)
I think the character of Harry Potter is much like Peter Pan; he can be convincingly played by a woman. I doubt the golden trio agree with this song. I'm sure they've had enough of the franchise to last them a life time. It still makes me laugh though.
Hopefully Jenny Bede will continue to make awesome geek parodies for me to feature in the future.
Thanks to The Mary Sue for being totally amazing (and worth checking out)
However in the picture, Jake is Iron Man instead of Hulk. So this could be an inspiraton for MAD to create this segment.
The Avenger crew turned mostly like this:
1. Captain America as Finn
2. Hulk as Jake
3. Iron Man as Lumpy Space Princess (LSP)
4. Thor as Muscle Princess (possibly)
Finn and Jake mostly turned like this:
1. Finn as a super powered Batman
2. Jake as the Thing
Other Dimensions included were:
1. The Avengers Dimension
2. The Marvel Super Heroes (1960's)
3. Super Hero Squad Show
4. Adventure Time Dimension
Red Skull had two bandages on his forehead.
The title of Avenger Time looked similar to Adventure Time.
The Ice King in this segment almost sounded similar to the Ice
King in Adventure Time, because he is voiced by Tom Kenny, but the Ice
King looks different.
When Ice King freezes Captain America in a block of ice, Iron
Man remarks that he cannot stop getting frozen, but this is actually a
reference to when Captain America gets frozen in a block of ice during
World War II and gets unfrozen during the 21st century.
The scene where Captain America meets the Watcher on the moon
is a reference to the pilot episode of Adventure Time, where Finn meets
Abraham Lincoln on Mars after the Ice King froze him.
The Watcher's voice seems similar to Gazpacho, Master Shake and
Mr. Baldwin from Chowder, Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Fish Hooks
respectively, because they are voiced by Dana Synder.
Captain America's voice is similar to Chris Griffin from Family Guy.
Antagonists: Red Skull and Ice King
Second time Adventure Time gets spoofed. The first time was from Malcolm in the Middle Earth.
I've never actually seen Adventure Time, but I hear it's amazing and I really do want to watch it.
Speaking of The Avengers, have you guys seen the new Trailer yet?
YAY! It looks so great! I can't wait to see it! I do hope that they actually let Hawkeye speak at some point. So far he's gotten the shaft in all the trailers.
They, like us, seem to be wishing for those blissful summer months that seem so far away from this dreary winter. They dream of surf, sand, dancing, romance and alien invasion... wait...what?
There are so many things that I love about this video
1. Zachery Levi
2. Zachery Levi in short shorts
3. The book that Michelle Boyd is reading is called The Art Of Being A Unicorn
6. The making of video with close ups of Zachery Levi's short shorts
I hereby profess my love to you Team Unicorn!
While I was doing some research on this, I discovered that the Unicorn's now have an actual website and not just a youtube page (which was all they had the last time I checked)
I was very excited that you can watch all their videos, read their extremely geeky bios, by merchandise (I want everything) and join what they call the UniCorps!
Yup, you better believe I joined the UniCorps
That's right, +10 to Awesome!
Thanks Team Unicorn, for making me +10 more Awesome than I already was!
I've featured geeky raps on here before, but these ones by hiimrawn are just crazy! The costumes are great, they lyrics are surprisingly clever and I can't seem to get them out of my head.
Here is "I'm Questing,"my personal favorite. The cameos by Navi and Sheik are my favorites. This Navi puts that other one to shame!
Next is the "Pokemon Gangster Rap" with awesome cameos by Misty and Brock. I also really like the Pikachu Robe for some odd reason.
Lastly, here is "Do The Mario" I love Luigi, Toad and Yoshi in this. It puts Mario in a whole new light.
Thanks to Geekologie for his love of crazy, geek rap!
Much to most of my friends and family's dismay, I love graphic t-shirts. I don't usually get to wear them during the week, due to work, but as soon as the weekend hits, I'm all about showing my geek.
I'm always on the look out for great t-shirts but have had a lot of trouble in the past finding ones. Well, since I have started shopping online, I've found many great shirts that I would just love to add to my collection.
This is the shirt that I just got in the mail as of yesterday.
Statler and Waldorf are two of my favorite Muppets, so when I found them on a shirt, I just couldn't resist ordering it. You can get your own here at BustedTees
While perusing this morning, I came across a great site called Fashionably Geek. It's an entire site dedicated to awesomely geeky clothes and accessories. Already I've found some really great links to t-shirts that I totally want.
Like this Star Wars/Calvin & Hobbs shirt from Red Bubble
It comes in a variety of colours as well. I can't decide which colour I want, so maybe I'll have to get it in numerous colours ;)
I love the t-shirts that show up on TeeFury, but I hate that I never have money when the ones that I like show up, or I find out about them after they're already done. Like this beauty that proves that sci-fi geeks like me can have the best of both worlds.
To Boldly Go Where No Star Wars Nerd Has Gone Before!
This last one I just find hilarious! I really love melding my geekery and this is no exception.
Etsy seller sandsink offers a great many fun t-shirts, so be sure to check them out here.
Do you have any fun t-shirts? Which is your favorite?
I always hoped this day would come. For years I have been dreaming about Star Wars swimsuits. I mean who could resist an actual Slave Leia Bikini? One of these days, I will probably just end up making my own. But in the mean time, check out these AWESOME suits from Black Milk.
I want an R2-D2 suit! I would just swim around and make all sorts of beeping noises. I kinda want this for Halloween too. I'd wear white leggings and dye my hair silver and blue.
*mind spinning*
hmmm.... I wonder if I could get this in time for Halloween?
This Darth Side Of The Moon one is pretty awesome too. (I don't think that's what it's actually called, but I think that sounds better) I'm not overly keen on how shiny it seems to be though.
I know this last one technically isn't Star Wars, but let's pretend it is and call it Darth Getting Force Lightninged. Yeah, that works.
There are lots of neat suits and leggings on this site that I totally want. You should go check it out! Then leave a comment and tell me which one you would buy. I'd love to know.
