The Saga Begins (song)

"The Saga Begins" is a parody of the Don McLean song "American Pie" that tells the story of The Phantom Menace from Obi-Wan Kenobi's point of view. The song is sung by "Weird Al" Yankovic and appears among the bonus features on the 2011 Blu-ray release of the complete saga, and on the Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 2 CD.

Among Star Wars fans, Yankovic is also known for his Star Wars–themed song parody "Yoda," as well as a scene in the video of his hit single "White & Nerdy" that shows him making a back-alley purchase of a bootlegged VHS of The Star Wars Holiday Special.
