Star Wars started Bon Jovi's career

[Fritzo]

In 1980, Christmas in the Stars: Star Wars Holiday Album was released. The track "R2-D2- We Wish You A Merry Christmas" was performed by Bon Jovi after one of his relatives pulled him from sweeping floors at the studio.

How 'bout that. I HAVE to hear this album.

But you see, now you have warned everyone but only after I suffered what I can only describe as aural sandpaper.

You will rue this day! Henceforth, I will make it my mission in life to bring down righteous fire upon you.... ummm.... Swiftwind... whoever you may be.

So how much does he pay R2-D2 now every year to pay for his career?

 

[TheVrolok]

Wow. I don't even know what to say after listening to that.

 

[Homerboy]

I have the album (both LP version and "downloaded" mp3 version).
Good stuff.

I used to tease a few overly religious neighbors back in college by changing the WWJD to mean 'what would Jon Bon Jovi do?' - drove them crazy, fun times.
