A parody of “North to Alaska” by Johnny Horton

Based on Dune by Frank Herbert

Original lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLONWy46gIE

Way up north (north to Arrakis)
Way up north (north to Arrakis)
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on

Leto left Caladan in the year of ’91
With Jessica, his concubine, and Paul, his only son
They took a Guild Heighliner and mined the Melange Spice
Till Harkonnens attacked and killed them all—that wasn’t nice!
Paul crossed the Shield Wall Mountains to the valleys of the land
He talked to his team of Fremen as he shuffled through the sand
With the sandworms a-runnin’ wild in the Land of the Burning Sun
Yes, Paul Atreides was a mighty man in the year of ’91

Where the canyon is windin’, Harkonnens they’re findin’
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on

Way up north (north to Arrakis)
Way up north (north to Arrakis)
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on

Paul turned to Gurney with his Spice in his hand
Said, “Gurney, you’re lookin’ at a lonely, lonely man
I’d trade all the Spice that’s buried in this land
For one small band of gold to place on sweet little Chani’s hand
‘Cause a man needs a woman to love him all the time
Remember, Gurney, true love is so hard to find
I’d build, for my Chani, a sietch of our own
Upon the planet Kaitain, on the Emperor’s golden throne”

Where the canyon is windin’, Harkonnens they’re findin’
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on
North to Arrakis, we go north, the rush is on

Way up north (north to Arrakis)
Way up north (north to Arrakis)
Way up north (north to Arrakis)
Way up north (north to Arrakis)
