Bad Lip Reading’s created numerous eccentric Star Wars dubs over the years, but its latest venture into that vast galaxy might be its greatest yet.

The focus is mostly on A New Hope (with flashes of Rogue One and Empire Strikes Back) as classic villain Grand Moff Tarkin finally takes off his Galactic Empire boots to belt out a tune. He’s both trying to intimidate and impress Leia, who’s not exactly having his suave moves. And neither is the crew of the Millennium Falcon, offering a similar chorus to what’s actually said in the movie.

The song is almost guaranteed to put a hop in your step, and while you can never truly replace John Williams’ iconic score this would fit right into a retro-style Star Wars musical.
