Spaceballs (1987) starring Bill Pullman, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Mel Brooks, Daphne Zuniga, Dick Van Patten, Joan Rivers

Synopsis of Spaceballs

Spaceballs is a funny, irreverent spoof of Star Wars (and many other scifi movies). The plot centers around a rogue pilot and his furry best friend team with a princess. The goal is to save her planet from an evil emperor who wants to steal all her planet’s air. But it’s really an excuse for a fast-paced gag fest. Enjoy!

Song lyrics to Turkey in the Straw

Turkey in the Straw is a well-known American folk song dating from the early 19th century. The first part of the song’s tune may be derived from the ballad My Grandmother Lived on Yonder Little Green which was a derivative of the Irish ballad The Old Rose Tree. Originally a tune for fiddle players, it was first popularized in minstrel shows during the late 1820s and early 1830s. There are dozens, possibly more, variations of the song.
