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

Track four on [*Dragon Ball $d*](/albums/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**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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*](/songs/prince-of-all-saiyans/) and [*Enter, the Ginyu Force*](/songs/enter-the-ginyu-force/) next, vacation pop until the chill stops being weather.
