The Saga Begins (song)

"The Saga Begins" is a parody by "Weird Al" Yankovic, released in the 1999 album Running with Scissors. To the tune of "American Pie" by Don McLean, it recounts the plot of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view. The song is particularly notable for giving an accurate account of the film, even though the song was released before the film. Yankovic says that he wrote the song based on information from internet spoilers. McLean not only approved the song, but also made a cameo in the music video.
