An Amazing Acoustic Version of the Ewok Celebration Song ‘Yub Nub’ from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi

Musician Chris Nandor performed an amazing acoustic version of the now-deleted Ewok Celebration Song (“Yub Nub”) that originally appeared in the final scene of Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi.

Not only did Pudge’s version sound really great, but he also nailed the tongue-twisting lyrics.

Yub nub, eee chop yub nub;
Ah toe meet toe peechee keene,
G’noop dock fling oh ah.

Yahwah, eee chop yahwah;
Ah toe meet toe peechee keene,
G’noop dock fling oh ah.
Coatee cha tu yub nub;
Coatee cha tu yahwah;
Coatee cha tu glowah;
Allay loo ta nuv.

Glowah, eee chop glowah;
Ya glowah pee chu nee foom,
Ah toot dee awe goon daa.

*Coatee cha tu goo; (Yub nub!)
Coatee cha tu doo; (Yahwah!)
Coatee cha tu too; (Ya chaa!)
Allay loo ta nuv,
Allay loo ta nuv,
Allay loo ta nuv.

Glowah, eee chop glowah.
Ya glowah pee chu nee foom
Ah toot dee awe goon daa.
