To the tune of "Africa" by Dune composers Toto:
I hear the thumpers echoing tonight
Covering the whispers of the silent conversations
The Emperor arrives 12:30 flight
The moons reflect the ships that fold themselves from distant destinations
I watched a disc along the way
Hoping to understand its cult appeal and popularity
I turn to you as if to say
What the heck is it that just watched?
It's going to take a lot to write this Dune review
There's little that a hundred movie critics could ever do
I ride the worms down in Arrikis (I ride the worms)
Gonna take some time to get some images from my mind.
I'm going to wake up in the night
Seeing pus-faced Barons suck the blood from poor young men in dungarees
I know that I must do what's right
And watch the extended edition directed in name only by Alan Smithee
I seek to understand this film, frightened of this thing that I'll become
It's going to take a lot to write this Dune review
It may just be easier to write and sing a tune
I ride the worms down in Arrikis (I ride the worms)
Perhaps the extended edition will have more of Sting in the jock...
(With apologies to Toto. And Sting.)
