Debs & Errol is a Toronto-based musical comedy duo with a penchant for phở, cuddly tree spirits and starships.
After meeting through their local chapter of National Novel Writing Month, the two joined forces in 2011 after a mutual friend put out a call for geeky musical acts and have been entertaining audiences with nerdy showtunes and ridiculous on-stage banter ever since. Feedback from their shows has ranged from “cleverness and wit mixed with a healthy dose of cute” and “awesome music talent, fun artistry and accessible geek humor” to simply “adorable.”
They have one full-length album (Songs in the Key of Geek, 2012) and have just released an EP of parody songs called CTRL+ALT+DUETS. When they aren’t singing odes to Star Wars, Miyazaki, or nerd love, they’re chronicling their life with a daily web comic.
VERSE 1:
Flying in my X-wing as the chrono ticks to certain doom
Enemies encircle me, confusion is nothing new
Plans were stolen from deep inside
Trench run, they come
TIE after TIE...
VERSE 2:
Asteroids surrounding me, I may be in above my head
3720 to 1, I can't hear what you've said
We weave and dodge, we must evade
Let's land inside that cave
CHORUS:
You can run, you can hide but they will find you
TIE after TIE
If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting
TIE after TIE
VERSE 3:
Over the forest moon, the final battle rages on
Han will have those shields down, what is taking him so long?
Armed and ready, Death Star attacks
We learn that it's a trap
CHORUS:
You can run, you can hide but they will find you
TIE after TIE
If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
I can't shake him
What should I do?
And now I've lost Artoo
CHORUS:
You can run, you can hide but they will find you
TIE after TIE
If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting
TIE after TIE
You can run, you can hide but they will find you
TIE after TIE
If you falter they'll blast you, they'll be waiting
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
TIE after TIE
