Ewok Celebration

The "Ewok Celebration," commonly known as "Yub Nub," is a 1983 song featured in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. It was published by Bantha Music and is administered by Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corporation.

The song appears in the final scene of the film during the celebration in the Ewok village. It was removed from the film in the Special Edition and replaced with a new piece by John Williams entitled "Victory Celebration."

The music was written by John Williams, the Ewokese lyrics were written by ILM sound designer Ben Burtt, and the English (Basic) lyrics were written by John Williams's son, Joseph Williams.

Also called the Ewok Freedom Song, it was performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. The Ewokese lyrics were sung by the Oakland Inspirational Choir, who performed other Ewokese sounds for the film.
