Errol has written many songs with Mike Skliar, which is surprising considering what Errol does to the songs Mike writes. Errol wanted to give out a children’s CD for Christmas, and he asked Mike to write him some songs. Mike gave him four instrumentals to play with, and because of his love for AT-ATs, Errol wrote this song. Mike didn’t know what they were, but he’s a good sport about it all. :D
lyrics
VERSE 1:
They measure 22.5 meters tall
Attacked Echo base causing it to fall
Having heavy durasteel armament
Demoralizing, they’re the rebel’s lament
AT-ATs in the snow…
(In the snow)
VERSE 2:
They’re super awesome, they have lasers and blasters (pew, pew, pew, pew)
Making rebellion squashing so much faster
Everyone you can suppress
Unless they hide in a dense forest
AT-ATs in the snow…
(in the snow)
CHORUS:
When your foes see an AT-AT they lose hope
Impervious to laser fire, their defenses cannot cope
But really all they need...is some rope
VERSE 3:
You would think if you saw these things you’d attack their back
But they did a frontal assault and they got whacked
And so the Rebels fled for space
As Imperial walkers wrecked their base
AT-ATs in the snow…
(In the snow)
VERSE 4:
They’re not too fast, only sixty klicks per hour
Compact fusion drive system, they take a lot of power
They have a high center of gravity
And a weak spot in their underbelly
AT-ATs in the snow…
In the snow (pew pew pew)
In the snow (pew pew pew)
In the snow (pew pew pew)
In the snow

There are so many lovely songs on this double album, but E.S.B. helped me through my own troubles - with my change in career, with my divorce, and with ending a number of toxic friendships. kanashiiichigo
