Oh and Nigel, I would give different parts of the song to different band members to sing, coming together for the chorus.
Apple pie, apple pie, apple pie and custard!

Maybe a whimsical yet poignant ditty about the difficulties of growing sunflowers amongst the stars?
I'm not entirely sure which piece of music we're referring to, is it the one that sounds like very fast horse riding?
Ta!
'Sunflowers! Sunflowers! Sunflowers in spa-ace'
Quite a good tune... all together now, 'heraldic! heraldic! heraldic visitations'

Not to be a naysayer, but why did you agree to do this if you don't know how?
My suggestion is to do the entire Star Wars story in a 3 minute song. One verse per movie (if you do all 6, otherwise two per each original trilogy movie) and a catchy chorus.
OR even easier, make the entire song out of Star Wars famous quotes, in the style of Blood Hound Gang's Ralph Wiggum.
This is a fun little project.

Well I suppose I have on occasion come across as a smug know it all, alright I confess it!!
Cheers Marc et al. Liked the food idea. I'll go with that and branch off into more unusual concoctions, e.g, "engine oil, engine oil, engine oil and houmus"... It's a light-hearted affair anyway, nothing too serious. Thank you.
