Robert Lopez talks about (and a little like) Jar Jar Binks

On the latest episode of Heyblabber Podcast, we had the opportunity to speak to none other than award-winning songwriter Robert Lopez (Frozen: The Broadway Musical, Winnie The Pooh).[]

The Great Cousin Jar Jar Art Contest

Shortly after The Phantom Menace came out, a song about Jar Jar Binks was released. In the song, Jar Jar goes into a club and is immediately recognized. Freaking out, he tries to claim that he’s not Jar Jar, but Jar Jar’s cousin. This song is a classic, but not many people know about it. Even more surprising is how talented the team behind Cousin Jar Jar is. The song is by musician Meco (Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk), future double EGOT Bobby Lopez (Frozen, Coco) and his writing partner Jeff Marx (Avenue Q, Book of Mormon) and Gordon Grody (Jem).[]

Frozen 2 co-songwriter was also ‘Cousin’ Jar Jar

Frozen 2 is out today in the U.S. and many markets. The follow up to smash 2013 film Frozen, the film once again features numerous songs composed by Kristen Anderson-Lopez and her husband Robert Lopez.[]

Cousin Jar Jar lyrics

As you may or may not know, the official song of International Talk Like Jar Jar Binks Day is the Meco classic “Cousin Jar Jar.” (It’s in our FAQ.) This song, which details Jar Jar’s adventures in a night club, is possibly the greatest song about Jar Jar ever released. However, if you try to find the lyrics to the song on the Internet, it proves impossible. (Also impossible – finding somewhere to purchase the song.)[]
