For Spintunes #13, Round 1 - Death Star
Write a tribute to your favorite deceased celebrity
I chose Carrie Fisher, because obviously
The chorus comes from what she wanted printed as her obit - "Drowned in Moonlight, strangled by her own bra" because of George Lucas insisting she not wear a bra during filming, since there is no underwear in space. In zero G, he said, your body expands but not your underwear.
Most of the other lyrics are her quotes, book titles, movies she starred in, or things inspired by the documentary "Bright Lights" about Carrie and her mother Debbie Reynolds.
lyrics
Under the rainbow, wishful drinking even though
First screen love the tender age of eight
Queen of the Nile stole Dad away but still you know
Mommy kept on singing in the rain
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
I wish I never knew this feeling of losing you
Though I know I'll see you won't be long
A dizzy princess now didn't stop the pain somehow
Instant gratification takes too long
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
A long time ago, oh it seems so far away
And I know the pain that you battled has seen it's final day
gone away
He sang right through it all, she was curled up in a ball
And you were just along for the ride
And now the doctors say self medication paved the way
We know you were fighting your dark side
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
Drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own
Drowned in moon
