Lyrics

Here we are
On a planet called Namek 
Tryna find the stars
Just cruising away!

Got us looking
High and low
Searching for the glow
Gotta put seven together
Then the dragon shows
One wish at a place called home

But a dream
Gonna wish for the throne
And a 
Couple things, a couple dreams
I mean a
Wish is a gift that's overseen
We gotta gotta
Stay cool
Cuz a chill's in the air
Gotta gotta
Stay cool
Cuz a chill's in the air

Here we are
I'm a blue beauty but you're short and bald
Please go away
Stop tryna make moves
You don't even know 
Got my eye on a prince
He's more powerful
One wish and we'd share a home
Get it on every night in a gravity dome

A couple kids
Half alien
I mean a wish is a pixel on a screen
I've gotta gotta
Stay cool cuz a chill's in the air
Stay cool cuz a chill's in the air

Content

Track four on Dragon Ball $d, feat. Babidi & Gokudaxij (Taylor James / J MESA and Eric Radloff). Luke wrote, played, mixed, and mastered; they sing the feature. The Namek arc as breezy travel song, the Dragon Ball hunt rendered as a road trip. Frieza is coming and the song knows it, but the hook (stay cool cuz a chill's in the air) grooves anyway.

Then it switches to Bulma, brushing off Krillin (I'm a blue beauty but you're short and bald) while she eyes the prince. That sets up the page's real payload, Luke's fan theory: Bulma's life goes so well because she covertly makes wishes. Only her radar finds the Dragon Balls, and that's why Vegeta ends up domesticated. Played for comedy, but the thesis is sincere: whoever controls the radar controls canon.

Same duo as Prince of All Saiyans and Enter, the Ginyu Force next, vacation pop until the chill stops being weather.
