Clone Shanties and Songs to Keep Track of

As of now they aren’t in any particular order or grouping by genre. This might change.

Some of these songs did not have titles in their original posts/submissions so some of these are working titles. Send in an ask and we’ll change it to whatever you want to call it. Same policy for the short descriptions afterwards, if you want anything added let us know and we’ll fix it.

The 501st On Leave (Drinking Song) - to the tune of the Colonel Bogey March [An upbeat song about the kind of antics that the 501st gets up to when they’re not fighting the good fight; Under a cut for adult implications (including references to drinking, drugs, violence, gambling, and sex.)] by @crystalshard

The Negotiator comes - to the tune of the Wellerman [Sung by the 501st when they are waiting for the 212th for reinforcements] by @songbird-wings

What Will We do with a Drunken Jedi? - to the tune of What do you do with a Drunken Sailor [sung by the 501st and the 212th; nobody’s quite sure which Jedi they’re talking about in the last section, a series of bets has been placed since there’s been multiple reported sightings of several Jedi sneaking off with politicians] by @songbird-wings

Leave her, Brother - to the tune of Leave her Johnny! [sung by the Shinies leaving Kamino for the first time] by @songbird-wings

The General’s Robes are Gone - [I don’t know the tune, but it just gets louder as every trooper joins in, and definitely something to make fun of Obi Wan specifically for a great time] by @alderaani

Jetii at Our Side - to the tune of My Jolly Sailor Bold [I think it speaks for itself, or sings for itself in this case] by @rose-blooms-red

He’s Got No Robes At All - (don’t know the tune) [Another song about how General Kenobi loses his robes, although maybe more popular amongst all the battalions since it seems that all Jedi adhere to a strict code of dramatics] by @the-stars-are-warring

Corrie Guards’ Guides for the Shinies - to the tune of Excursion ‘Round the Bay [Fun song about all the things you can do wrong and be put on Commander Fox’s bad side. A rejected, suggested title was going to be What does the Fox (Make you) Say] by @leias-left-hair-bun

“Bless” ‘em All - to the tune of Bless ‘em All [I love this song. It’s so great. I love it. It’s incredible and sensational, and definitely speaks to the Clones’ ability to deal with every single thing with a shit-eating grin as they mentally curse all the bad ideas and plans that they have to deal with. I do recommend listening to the version by Sods’ Opera (warning for language though)] by @leias-left-hair-bun

When the Last Ship’s Launched - no particular tune, suggestions welcome! [It’s sad, you have been warned. Also a ShantiesOfTheGAR original] by @shantiesofthegar

Growing up on Kamino - (don’t know the tune) [The clones bond about many things, and they share many things, being clones. And while they disagree on many things, one thing they can all agree on, is that Kamino Cloning Labs was a shitty place to grow up] by @kyber-queen

Good Soldiers Follow Orders - (no tune yet) [You might say “this is a poem”. And you’d be correct. But aren’t all songs just poems put to a beat. Certainly read better poetry than a lot of lyrics out there. This is very good and was prefaced with the phrase “Jesse Angst”. This is a very apt description. I’m going to go out on a limb and guess that it’s not made popular until after the Clone Wars, deals with thoughts, feelings and the fallout of Order 66.] by @pro-fangirls-unsocial-life

#clone shanties #clone culture #Jo does other things too #It's a masterpost folks #Wanted to get a consolidated list out there first #I'll get back to shanty writing soon #If anyone has suggestions on how to group things I'd be absolutely ecstatic to hear them #Currently am thinking of dividing them up as Songs about Obi Wan/Everything else #This is a joke #Might go back and specify whether it's a GAR special or a Corrie Guard Special or etc. later
