Serenity
A parody of “The Remedy (I Won’t Worry)” by Jason Mraz, about the film “Serenity”.

[Wash: This landing is gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: “Oh God, oh God, we're all going to die?”
Mal: This is the Captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then - explode.]

Drivin’ a Firefly’s such a hassle.
Gettin’ yelled at by Mal, he’s the king of the Castle.
Meanwhile Jayne wants to Chuck his grenades from the store,
And when he runs out he’ll have to Buy More.
Let’s be bad guys, do some thievery, she’ll sense any deceiver,
Though poor River is naïve, her psychic powers felt the Reavers,
So we leave there – with our cash bounty,
Thanks to River and Simon who hide on Serenity.

Serenity – is where they gotta live.
They’re on the lam like drifter orphans.
Meanwhile the enemy, is called the Operative,
And he’s been to the desert, no remorse and no name.
A horse opera that’s played across the stars.
Shoulda paid off the twins and then rolled out,
‘Til River doled out bruises and scars,
When she goes koo-koo for Fruity Oaty Bars.

“I – swallowed a bug” and ate it, - is what River said, but now
I'm – afraid I’ll get Terminated, - like the Sarah Connor Chronicles.

[Kaylee: Goin' on a year now I ain't had nothin' twixt my nethers weren't run on batteries!
Mal: Oh, God! I can't *know* that!
Jayne: I could stand to hear a little more.]

Mr. Universe talking on the radio.
Says the whole damn ‘verse is a reality show.
Uncovering the Numb3rs in the ad that made her flip.
Jayne and Mal started to argue about who will run the gorram ship.
Well he can’t. Mal received an Anna-gram,
Where Inara that V, She is of peace always.
Cannot faze O.P.. Bomb and flee.
They escaped from that Dollhouse onto Serenity.

Serenity, - named for a battle lost,
Has got a crew of unsung saviors.
‘Op’ says that River Tam, is just an albatross,
And no, you don’t get any wafers with it.
The mystery that River’s head contains,
Is answered by passing by Reavers,
Which is the biggest fear of Jayne’s,
Because all they want to do is eat your brains!

I – want a pony and a plastic rocket, - Buddha, please.
I – aim to misbehave, so suck it! – Shepherd Book, I believe.

A whole planet laid down, and said their goodnights.
Nobody even read them their Miranda rights.
So we brought on a war. I’m a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar.

Crash land Serenity, - when we saw River dance,
It was a graceful fight to watch, dude.
Joss Whedon made the flick, he got a second chance,
And then, Oh my God, he killed Wash! You bastard!
The Operative saw a world without sin,
After Captain Hammered his face in.
Set off for space with all of his friends,
And we finally got some closure in the end.

I – am a leaf on the wind, watch how I soar. – Oh, oh.
Si – mon and Kaylee got it on, but fans want more. They want more, I want more-
I – own this movie on DVD and Blu-Ray. – Oh, I love Fire-
-fly – and I hope Nathan buys it someday, yeah! – Oh, because, oh,
I – want more epic adventures - with Mal and the crew. Oh,
I – can’t wait to see “The Avengers” – How about you?

 Can’t stop, can’t stop, can’t stop,
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
Can’t stop, can’t stop, can’t stop,
Zoe’s gonna have a kid one day.
Can’t stop, can’t stop, can’t stop,
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
Can’t stop, can’t stop, can’t stop,
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
You can’t stop the signal, no way.
