I wonder if those stormtrooper helmets the Ewoks were banging on still had their heads in them. Those were some nasty little critters.

Gotta go with Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes, with the (original) Max Rebo Band as a close second.

The little green guy from Solo, especially with his deep voice, reminded me of Michigan J. Frog.

Max Rebo Band (original) all the way!

These are legit great tunes:

I’ve seen a behind the scenes version of Lapti Nek from a documentary with the lyrics in English, but I can’t seem to find it now.

update:

Found it!

When we got married, our wedding party walked out to the Ewok Celebration (Yub Nub), we walked out to the Imperial March.

Literally made a playlist to revisit all these to decide on the poll (!)
I find it genuinely difficult, I enjoy them all.

Yub Nub has an unfair advantage I think, because the way the orchestral music swells and is mixed in towards the end is glorious, and so nostalgic. But it's got that great combination of John Williams tunes and a bit of silliness to it.

I love the way the strings are used in Solo's Chicken in the Pot (and the soundtrack album version is different to the actual movie soundtrack).

The gungan parade is underrated. It's very clever musical foreshadowing of the music in Return of the Jedi for the Emperor. Watch this:

I really like some of the guitar work on Jedi Rocks.

The opera music is awesome and so atmospheric.

I don't really care for Jabba Flow from TFA as much as the others. It's fine, but it's a bit too 'cantina-wannabe' for me. I would have preferred they went for something more different-sounding.

Hmm.

I think Yub Nub wins out.
