I’ve always been a fan of all of the cantina-like music as well as other source music from the films, including Cantina Band #1 and Cantina Band #2, Jabba Flow, Lapti Nek, the Ewok Celebration song, and Canto Bight, just to name a few, so this soundtrack is right up my alley.

Of particular interest to me is track #10, which is titled “Una Duey Dee.” Anyone who has spent some time with our Gungan Dictionary will recognize that this is Gunganese for “One Two Three.” I’ve now listened to the song a number of times, and while it’s very catchy, I haven’t been able to discern any of the words. I’m wondering if it’s in old Gungan and/or supposed to be sung by a Gungan.
I found this thread on Twitter, where one individual referred to it as a “Gungan drinking song”, which I can totally hear.
My wife and I *really* want to know the lyrics to the Gungan drinking song. Any chance that will ever be released?

Oooooooh. I’m sure more info will come out about it–it definitely exists. I’m not sure if there are full lyrics though. I think it’s mostly “Una Duey Dee” (“one two three”)

I’m really hoping that the lyrics (as well as the translation!) are released at some point in the near future. I’d love to learn more about the inspiration/background for the song.
In any case, if you have $9.99 to spare, I’d definitely suggest picking up the album, although not literally, since it seems to only be available for digital purchase at this point. There’s some really great, weird, Star Wars music in this mix.
