Lapti Nek (Disco Mix)

[@the4394]

Yeah baby! This is what I'm talking about! I played it in my DJ set last week. Got so many people dancing! They thought it was some French disco stuff lol

[@Henchman.24]

Not surprising, while listening to it drunk I could scarcely believe it was a part of a Star Wars soundtrack Bit of a choon

Wild fact: this is actually a work-out song. The lyrics talk about feeling energized while shaping your body. There's great irony in the fact that this is the favorite song of a Hutt who's considered obese even by his own species standards.

is this a real language, or is your source some form of fan-fiction?

pass , technically-speaking, the original trilogy was made in the 70s to 80s. Plus, Jabba's Palace is akin to a seedy nightclub of the higher echelon.

Wow... Thisis legit! This could of held its own as a single. If I didn’t recognize it as Star Wars you could have told me the was a Ítalo Disco hit from the early 80’s. Testament to the craftsmanship that went into The Empire strikes Back to flesh that movie out.

[@ryklatortuga4146]

It's like poetry, it rhymes...

[@SirYodaJedi]

Well, according to an older comment, this actually was a single (45 RPM, presumably 7-inch). With a B-side of a rap remix of Ewok Celebration, apparently. Now _that's_ something I'd like to listen do!

[@mathewbouse1105]

This isn't even from empire it's from jedi

[@Jim_Norcross]

Ok....I realize I'm old....but I actually have this version somewhere in a 45. Oh...and the B side on it is a mix of the Ewok celebration with - are you ready - an Ewok rapping in it. I kid you not!

[@Jim_Norcross]

@@SirYodaJedi If you look up Ewok Celebration you should find it. I THINK it was put out by MECA. I could be a letter off or something...but that should give you enough to find it here on YT.

[@monsterhobbiesonlinestore]

Wow! This sounded like an old Talking Heads song at the beginning. Love the Disco.

[@yumallah]

Any kind of Lapti Nek is infinitely better than Jedi Rocks.

[@jenniferburchill3658]

"Jedi Rocks" was so awful it almost ruined the whole movie for me.

[@animefan77]

Why this works and why Jedi Rocks doesn’t is simple. The latter tries to an over the top parody of lounge singing set to a catchy, upbeat tone with that contrasts with the tone of the movie and the situation that the heroes are currently in. This song is low-key with a disco tone that fits with the time the movie was made. It’s also very surreal and there’s an undertone that’s very unnerving with a sense of dread that something could go wrong at any moment. It actually fits Jabba’s place well- fun until it decides to kill you at the slightest whim.

[@SniffyPoo]

exactly. the tone of Jedi Rocks is completely wrong.

[@shh532]

It's also that Lapti Nek is a legitimately good song that you just wanna listen to, but also genuinely alien - it conjures an idea of a vast galaxy where it could have come from anywhere. It's a part of that world, not ours, and suggests so much more that we just can't see. The worldbuilding of the OT and formation of SW is unlike anything else, deliberate or accidental...

[@the4394]

Amen!

[@lordgarmadon2598]

What is sureal about Lapti Nek.

[@ameboaboy]

Word. You couldn't create a better song for this scene if you tried. And they tried. I love that it mirrors the seedy underbelly melting pot feel of discos at the time. All manner of sentient beings just getting down and dirty, loving life. Big pimpn' Jabba, the original OG.

[@alexablissfanbase8247]

The beginning sounds like MJ is about to sing WE ARE HERE TO CHANGE THE WORLD

[@tjah1014]

Believe it or not that makes sense given Lucas was involved with the short film that debut the song

This song vibes. Even though they used a different version of this song, it’s a real shame they cut it out. No matter what version of this I listen to, I just think Star Wars. It makes me want to get some hot cocoa or coffee, relax in my room with a friend, and watch the original trilogy.
