Episode 60 of The Young Southpaw Part Of An Hour

When Joan Jett was having issues with her record company, she recorded a version of the Sex Pistols’ ‘EMI’ changing the title to ‘MCA’. Why didn’t she instead cover The Village People? Could she & the construction worker, biker, cowboy, et al save the Star Wars franchise? While at the same time resolving her disputes with her record label?

lyrics

You know that song? You know that song, by the Sex Pistols.... EMI... Unlimited Supply you know...and like how Joan Jett covered it but changed it to MCA because she was on MCA records?...I mean I get it ya know, the tune’s about having troubles with your record company...but like with her label, she coulda gone a different route......tried to get to the bottom of what they were doin’....ya know like Why?.. MCA....

.....asking them their reasons behind all the malarkey....complete with dance moves for the letters... and it would be rad too, all those villagers, the biker, the cowboy, the construction worker etc....they could expand their repertoire from In The Navy...now with Joan Jett... to include the air force as well...

but before we even get there like you know ‘Joan Jett’ is the same number of syllables as ‘young men’....so like ‘Joan Jett....doo doo doo doo doo doo........ Joan Jett....doo doo doo doo doo doo’........ and Joan, cause I mean she’s the one singin’, she’s makin the verses like a mockery of the record company listing all their grievances...like a rock n roll festivus..
...and then she replies in the chorus to these ridiculous charges you know - ‘Y M C A’....

and then you can take this even further cause I’m picturing like...for the video... havin’ a jet pack...and it could be just that I’ve been watching The Mandalorian but like Boba Fett rhymes with Jett, get ol’ Boba in there too....he’s bounty hunting the Village People but like in the spirit of the good times that they represent, he ends up joining ‘em...and heck like maybe at the end of the song Boba Fett takes off his helmet and it’s Joan Jett...

....woooooaahhh!.... I mean she’d have to do it under a different name if she didn’t want everyone to see this coming...maybe like Boba Fett.. & The....though I guess Boba has an extra syllable....Bob Fett?...that just doesn’t sound right...Robert Fett?...fwooo....was Bobcat Goldthwaite actually RobertCat?...RobertCat GoldFett?....beskar would be pretty cool looking in gold you know....Goldyfett & The Goldhearts....Bobcat Goldthwaite’s long-awaited solo album....how bout just Boab Fett?...and the Bluehearts...featuring the jazz guitar stylings of his father Jango....

now where did the Village People come from?....I mean is it the same village The Kinks are talking about on The Village Green Preservation Society?....you know how Boba preserved Han Solo in carbonite......I mean that’d be wild if Han Solo was in The Kinks...or The Village People....I mean most bands would probably benefit from flying the Millenium Falcon into their shows.....except maybe Parliament you know...you wouldn’t want it to crash into the mothership....But Han Solo and the Village Green.....Do You Remember Walter?...well, I remember Han Solo.....woo...that album’s got Johnny Thunder on it too...imagine if Al Green and Johnny Thunders just kept trying to freeze each other in carbonite after Empire Strikes Back came out...what a great game of tag that would be!....the early 80s man, wild times...
I mean Boba Fett finally finds Han on Cloud City...you know it’s always raining over there in England...

but wait a second, was this village they were all singin about... the very community that The Runaways...ran away from?!....I mean in that case this would be a huge reunion!....complete with jett packs...

a lot of tea in those English villages too...

boba tea....ya know,woah!..... drinking it up the straw under his helmet...
or like Boba T! Boba Fett’s rap persona!.....coverin’ Ice T’s New Jack Hustler but as H-U-N-T-E-R Bounty Hunter...it’s a stretch but ya know...

or woah...I mean they’re still making those Leprechaun movies....bring Boba Fett in for a crossover with Star Wars...Joan Jett too!

I mean...have the Village People....ever had a spaceman?....can you Go West in outer space.... I mean maybe a construction worker on the International Space Station you know...spots a star destroyer coming up fast and at its helm is a Darth Vader-like figure...but all in green!...the new incarnation of the Leprechaun!....and like Carl Weathers is in The Mandalorian but he was also in Arrested Development...houses still not finished...just like the Death Star....and maybe the empire hires the construction worker and his Village People crew to complete the work!....but like Carl Weathers, I mean we haven’t seen this in The Mandalorian yet but he’s really Apollo Creed in disguise!....... I mean Apollo was the Greek god of the Sun ya know...you can’t see in space without him!....and Carl Weathers and Joan Jett have to like convince the Village People that unbeknownst to them they’ve really been working for the baddies...and then they all join forces to prevent another Death Star from being completed....I mean really Star Wars has to get another plot...but then like just to make it interesting and not keep repeating the exact plots of all the other 9 Luke Skywalker movies, Apollo Creed’s old friend slash rival Sylvester Stallone shows up...and the fate of the Empire and The Rebel Alliance is gonna be decided by an arm wrestling match a la Over The Top...but you know it’s Apollo’s show, he steps in says he’s gonna be the one to defeat Darthy Leprechaun.....but then Joan Jett slides into position, taking off her gloves like at the beginning of the I Love Rock N Roll video, flexin her arm, and she’s like ‘the beat down’s going strong’...meanwhile the Village People are working to dismantle the Death Star..... Darthy Leprechaun has no idea what’s going on...

and woo!... the soundtrack to all this...with all these cats tunes!...could really revive the whole Star Wars franchise...and in the process, prove Joan Jett’s point to her record company....

Young Southpaw Connecticut

"From the existential thread that ties Jean-Paul Sartre to Jon Bon Jovi, to the skinny on what’s floating in TLC’s ‘Waterfalls’, and the possibility that Al Pacino is coaching boxing kangaroos in space, wise-fool Southpaw's ramblings lead listeners on a surreal journey through doors they didn't even know existed, into a highly original, deeply funny land of pop culture confusion." - popbollocks ... more
