igger6 894 Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Going all the way back to "Star Wars / If they should bar wars / Please let those Star Wars / Stay" and further, there's a vibrant tradition of putting stupid lyrics to film-music melodies, and I'm here to say I definitely do it, especially when I'm trying to distinguish among themes in a new score. Presented without comment, then—except, perhaps, with apologies to Leslie Bricusse—are my official lyrics to several recent JW themes, along with a few bonus tracks from Henry Jackman. Rey's Theme (inspired by the TFA TV spots): "Whoooo are youuuu? I'm no oooone! Waaaaiting I knooow abooouuut..." Luke in Exile (inspired by Mark Hamill's hostage-video tweet the day after Christmas about regretting voicing his creative differences with Rian Johnson): "Differences! There were differences! Oh, what differences! Such creative ones!" Trio Theme: "Heeeeere comes the triiiiiiio! These guys plus Three-PEEEEEEE-O!" Rise of Skywalker Theme: "Tiiiiime to rise and Skyyyy the Waaaalker..." This all started, I think when my brother and I were doing a Harry Potter rewatch several years ago and discovered the Peter Pettigrew harpsichord motif, which we of course defined as "Peter, Peter, Peter Pettigrew!" As film-music motifs have grown shorter and simpler over the years, it's gotten easier. For some reason, I found myself doing it with the "one-sentence" motifs in Captain America: Civil War, too: Civil War Theme: "Leeeet's have a waaaar! Biiiiiiig civil waaaar!" Zemo's Motif: "Baron Zemo has a theme!" Black Panther Motif: "Iiiiiiiiit's theeeeeee Blackpantherrrrr!" I can't be the only one who does this. Anybody else wanna share?

Thor 7,507 Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Never done this, and have no intention to. But I'm reminded of the Bill Murray skit "STAR WARS! NOTHING BUT STAR WARS!" or the fact that the SUPERMAN theme seems to spell out "Da-da-da-da-da! SU-PER-MAN!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pellaeon 593 Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 The 50s Superman TV show used this rhythm in its theme: Dotted eighth, sixteenth, and half. “Superman.” I think it was used even earlier, in radio or cartoons. Though there it was ascending, Williams uses it in a descending motif. _deleted_ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo Mortimer 43 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Just imagine: This is really Williams' working process. He sings nonsense and make noises. In this way he creates the melodies what we love so much. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
