I DID IT ALL FOR THE NOOKIE

I love Star Wars but even I had never ever heard of this track holy moly what a deep cut Neil Cicerega

glad to see everybodys here for the same reason

2:08 I feel like Neil discovered this, heard this little "nuki," and then instantly envisioned the entirety of _Mouth Dreams_ in that moment.

You can say what you about Darth Vader but he sure is dabu dabu Darth Vader

Like many of you, I discovered this bizarre kitsch from Mouth Dreams, but I am absolutely floored that the Ewok rap is courtesy of Duke Bootee of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five, who only a year before rapped on the seminal “The Message”.

I thought I hallucinated hearing this track on the radio in 1983 but now I know it's real!

For those who want to rap along: Tatu jenaba adubba degobo Tuwaka funa hunda wunaku Han Solo Du abu lay loo picha gegobi Tuway pakuwit Obi-Wan Kenobi Kojos basdi kuchin me a doba Keba haba wez jez keba haba Yoda Nub dub a moolah kewak elok zeta Kemaki laki lu dabu dabu Darth Vader A bizzoo lubu bizzoo lubu mu Yaki laki waka, teglowa Master Luke Raznan ye meka ye kobo munaka Vindo maki maki wiz ana Chewbacca Kobo chaka luwi naki mani weya Moto waka nig nigwezana Princess Leia Nuki waki chobi funu hundu waka zu Pichi ki-i waki waki Artoo Detoo

I am so ecstatic that I knew what this was before Neil used it on _Mouth Dreams_

Thank you Mouth Dreams

Thanks Neil

When someone asks you to choose the original Yub Nub and the Special Edition's Victory Celebration.... This song is the real correct answer

Bless Neil for introducing me to this beautiful disaster

Cicerega you monster

This song gave me a nickname. When I was in College I was on the school's radio station. My first on-air shift (which technically I was filling in for someone before my first scheduled shift and I had to get some "by the seat of your pants" training) I played this song about a half hour into my shift and introduced it imitating Yoda I said "Yoda says it's time for The Ewoks". The other DJs and radio staff heard it thinking I was calling myself "The Ewok" and the next day some of them started calling me "Ewok" and it stuck. I didn't intend to give myself an on-air nickname but what the heck. At first I didn't like it, but I gave in and went with it.

Niel brought me here. Thank you for bringing limp wicket to life. That is all

You know, I have a feeling this song would go really well with, say, Limp Bizkit.

Don't mind me, I'm just here for the NOOKIE.

When I was 15 I used to hear this song in a cassette recorder, when visiting a cousin in another city. Never heard it after that. Thanks!

If Lucasfilm doesn’t release this version of the song on Spotify in the next year I’m becoming a Star Trek fan

entered Billboard July 2, 1983 ..reached #60

Hahahahahahaaa!! I still have this memorized :D I remember hanging out in a tent with a friend one night back in '83 writing down the lyrics as phonetically as we could from a cassette taped off the radio. Ahh, those were the days.

I haven't heard this in 39 years! WOW! Thank you. I remember they played this on the radio in Southern California.

This played on the radio when I was a teenager. I'd forgotten it existed

I'm pretty sure half of the views on this video are from me.

Oh, what memories ... my kid brother and I listening to this song on the AM radio (where it was being played every 30 minutes or so) ... trying to rap along with "Threepio" during the middle part ... and when the song was nearly done, one of us would go over to the radio, grip the volume knob, wait until the very last two notes were about to play and quickly turn the knob ALL the way up so that the radio would scream that final "YAW WAH!" And then getting yelled at by Mom for doing that while we laughed our butts off...

Best version of "Yub Nub" ever.

Last night, me and my family were looking for one of our record players and ended up stubbling across my step mom's brother original vyinal copy of this from 1983, it was so awesome

Just the way I remember it.

I LOVE you HUman!!!!! Thank you been hunting for this for years telling my Star Wars fellow fans I used to hear it on the radio n So Cal thank you thank you thank you And may the 4th (my birthday 1977 @ 11:38) always bee 🐝 with you ! Yes thank you 🙏 😢the 6yo in me crying happy tears ppplease find my Star Wars under #STXWRZ and #Stx1138 oh you just made my year kick off sweet 👍~sTx ❤

My brother and I nearly wore the vinyl down of this LP (yes, there was an actual album of Meco’s Star Wars songs, IIRC). Of course, this was our favorite cut. I’m about to spring this gem on my FB feed.

God damn this is so bad I love it

I did it all for the Wookie!

Somewhere in my heart I always believed this existed and that it would have Meco’s finger / Ewok paw prints all over it. Thank you!

This already sounds like something by Neil Cicierega.

Last time i heard this was about 40 years ago. Holy hell!!!

Watching in 2018 and loving this cheesy meander down Memory Lane. That said, my husband is a die-hard Star Wars fan and I'm thrilled that today's kids love the Empire too.

I remember this on the radio as a kid at 12 years old! Classic! Return of the Jedi was out and was huge in theaters. Meco made some great Star Wars stuff! 1:09

I totally remember this!!! Since then, they revised the ending of Return of the Jedi with the rebel spaceships flying over the planet cities, with instrumental music entirely different and an older person/spirit appearing as Anakin Skywalker with Odi Won Konobi and Yoda. I remember this song at the end when they 1st showed Return of the Jedi in summer 82/83. This by Meco was on the radio that summer as well! Meco did the original disco version/ A New Hope in the 70s when Star Wars 1st came out as well😍👍👍👍🎵🎶

This changed my life….. I don’t know how but it did

Who here /limp/?

This track brought back so many memories of listening to the radio and trying to record this song lol 🥰 I’m so glad I found it ❤️

I now walk around my houses sporadically saying ‘Dabu dabu Darth Vader’

I guess my parents were right and so was I; The 80's _were_ the best. I just wish I grew up with this stuff.

I use to love this song back in the day

I found this track in the military vinyl collection in Mcmurdo Station Antarctica and now use it for the theme song for my radio show here, I was so worried I wouldn't be able to listen to it once I left here

1:26 Me and the boys feeestylin’ in the garage after binge watching the original trilogy

How did Neil even get the idea to mix this with Limp Bizkit

weird but I know every word to this song! Caught my son staring at me in shock as I was singing it! I said HEY..ITS EWOK! RJ

I love it! Im probably wrong and may be the only one, but I seem to hear "No more DUI"!Makes me think "Empire defeated and the end of "Galactic Prohibition" as they start popping open their stashed alcoholic beverages the second the Death star explodes. " Endor" is really happy about that. Good stuff!

Yeah I bought this when Return Of the Jedi first came out!! It was so cute.

The club version is longer and even has a section that sounds like something from Prince's 1999 album. And before this, Meco sort of had a hit on adult contemporary charts with his big band medley which I remember had a robotic voice singing "I've Got a Gal in Kalamazoo".

I remember hearing this on the radio as a kid!! Glad it only took about 30 seconds of googling to find. Awesome to see it survived!

I swear, in my fuzzy childhood memory, Anthony Daniels did the rap part.

So, like many of you I am here from Mouth Dreams. I had no idea this was a real song, I've never actually seen the "original" Star Wars, I got into the series in '94-95 after George had already tampered with the trilogy . This is amazing!

FAR FREAKIN OUT thanks man good job.😅 WA to go as Swartzenneger says.😅

This was the highlight of Duke Bootee's career.

Thank you, Duke Bootee.

Finally the song! Thank you for sharing this.

Meco rules!!! xoxo The Clarences

yyaaasasssssssss!!!!! Thank you for posting.

Meco Monardo final charted song on Billboard peaking at # 60 (Hot 100) in August of 1983!!!

God, ultimate ewok track

I had this 45.. so glad I found this

Honestly, perfect song as the party & celebration for joy & peace..❣️

They play part of this song at the end of the return of the Jedi. I was 16 or 15 . I knew this track existed. Rediscovered today. I cried sorry. As i saw the first trilogy and a kid and a teenager in Guatemala.

Still a favorite..never old man..love this..kids don't understand

They useta play this on wtru, toy r us in store radio, which back in the 80s was a bunch of tapes in the managers office!

Now I want to get this 45 record or even mp3 of it I do love the ewoks.

I had no idea this song had an Ewok rap in the full version. This is an official Star Wars song!!

I can't stop listening to this....help me!

I much prefer the original Ewok celebration music for Return Of The Jedi. These Meco singles bring back a lot of happy memories. 😊

I feel like this song would be perfect for a Comic-Con!😊

the USA rn after the election

This is the very first song I've listened to in 2022.

better then Klingon! (except for Frasiers sons Bar Mitzvah speech! LOL)

Wow. Wow wow even.

If you are looking for the techno song with the sample of the music of the final celebration of star wars the return of the jedi, the name of the song is "el perdido" by Cuartero ;)

Unbelievable......Mr.Duke Bootee.

Meco is a crazy genius.

I'm gonna play this at the next Class Reunion in 2019 :) LOL

I'm really glad that anyone else came for the same exact reason LMAO

My 4yo thinks this song is awesome ❤️

The Best! LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had this record too!

Everyone: "Who else is here because of Limp Wicket?" Me, listening to Limp Wicket: "Who else is here because of Meco?"

Better than the last three movie's!

Maaaaan! This is the sh¡t!!! Hahahaha... what a most cool version of "Yub Nub"! Can't stop to listen and overall: to dancing that 90's-like rap!!! Congrats!!!... GREAT!!!

How it fells to go to a Star Wars convention.

Fire

Someone tried copystriking Twomad's recent YLYL stream with this exact upload.

I FINALLY FOUND IT.

seriously how does Neil even find shit like this

I'm listening to this instead of studying for finals

Lo primero que escuché en una estación de música en inglés...poco después estaba escuchando a Black Sabbath 😂

Tf I stumble into??

I thought the vocals in Limp Wicket were just sentenced mixed from Limp Bizkit
