The Ballad Of Duncan Idaho

This is a tribute to Frank Herbert's Dune Series. It's a song I dedicate to the character Duncan Idaho who appears in every book. He was obviously Frank Herbert's favorite and by coincidence, mine too. I hope it makes you laugh, (but it probably won't unless you've read the books). Thanks for watching and enjoy.

Lyrics:
This is the story of Duncan Idaho/He was brought up on Gedi Prime a long long time ago/The Harkonnen bastards had made him their slave/ But one fateful day Duncan managed to escape/ He made it to Caladan to work for the Duke/ But the Duke was fightin' bulls one day/ And got himself run through/ So Leto the Duke's son became the Duke instead/ And Leto and Duncan became good friends/ After a while Leto sent Duncan away/ To a fancy fancy school where he could learn some sword play/ When he came back he was wicked frickin good/ And Leto was like 'hey, would you teach my son'/ So Duncan taught Paul every thing that he knew/ Then they had to go to a planet called Dune/ There they got screwed over by secret imperial decree/ And Duncan gave his life so that Paul could be free/ Ooohhhh/ But after galactic conquest Paul became the king/ And they made a Duncan ghoula from an axlotl tank/ But Duncan was being mind controlled by a little midget/ Who said some magic word that made Duncan begin to fidget/ His hand fell to his knife hilt/ He was gonna stab his friend/ Paul had gone blind you see/ And was soon to meet his end/ But Duncan was stronger than anyone could have guessed/ Instead of stabbing Paul he stabbed the midget in the neck/ Paul thanked him profusely for the saving of his twins/ But his wife Chani had croaked and he didn't want to live/ So Duncan watched sadly as his friend stepped onto the sand/ After a Coriolis storm all that was left was his hand/ To make a long story short/ Duncan died again/ He was stabbed by Stilgar/ His one and only friend/ And Leto, Paul's son, became a giant worm/ Also known as the God Emperor of Dune/ For a thousand generations they were making Duncan clones/ With genetic information in his decaying flesh and bones/ one fateful day a genetic mutation occurred/ With the help of some spice/ He remembered his past lives/ And that concludes the story of Duncan Idaho.

hahaha coool!!!! Duncan is my favorite character too! I remember that when I began reading the first book and found Duncan, I was like "he is cool, he must be handsome". And then I saw the first mini-series and I thought: "hell yeah, he's the man".

Alia is my fav female character, so I was really happy when they got together on book 2. But when I found out about Alia and Javid, I was like "Duncan baby, come with me. Alia is a bitch".

@MrFishman55 I have never even read the McDune novels. My opinion is based on what I interpreted after reading HoD, ChD.

[MrFishman55]

@cmsahe No, that didn't happen in my mind, because Brian Fuck-up wrote that book, along with his bed-buddy, Kevin J. Anderson.

This is quite a plot twist, in the end the Kwisatz Haderach turned out to be Duncan Idaho!
