Chewbacca

If I ran a game store I would play Chewbacca by Supernova.

There's a lot to love about this song: it's about Chewbacca, it was featured in the movie Clerks, and it has the voices of Chewbacca and Jabba the Hutt. The song has a very distinct guitar riff that powers it. The vocals are few, primarily being guys yelling "Chewbacca" or "Chewie" with Chewbacca yelling between lyrics. The song opens and closes with Jabba talking smack. That's the song. It's over quickly, but it's a fun ride. Depending upon your age you'll like it because of Star Wars or you like it because of Star Wars and Clerks.

There are at least two different versions of the song available, with slightly different lyrics. The soundtrack version has band members doing the voices of Jabba, Chewie, and Han. It opens with a direct Jabba quote and closes with something that sounds very Jabba-esque, but is not actual Huttese. This version was released on the 1994 album, Clerks: Music from the Motion Picture. Depending upon the source you use this song might have a preamble of Randal and Dante (from Clerks) discussing Star Wars.

The album version is a better-sounding recording. It opens and closes with a direct soundbite from Return of the Jedi, with Jabba stating both times "At last we have the mighty Chewbacca." It also features a soundbite of Han Solo from the same film, and maybe - it's hard for my ears to distinguish - soundbites of Chewbacca yelling. This version is from Supernova's 2000 album, Pop as a Weapon.

If I ran a game store I would play the soundtrack version.
