"Jedi Rocks" was a song performed by the Max Rebo Band. They once performed it for the Hutt crime lord Jabba Desilijic Tiure at his palace on the planet Tatooine.[2] The song's lyrics, which were improvised on the spot by singer Sy Snootles, were so saucy that they embarrassed the prudish Bib Fortuna, and would likely have been officially banned by the Galactic Empire. The protocol droid C-3PO, who was also present during the musical number, was bewildered by Snootles' blatant misuse of several verbs.[3] The song was interrupted when Jabba, in a fit of anger, fed the dancer Oola to his pet rancor Pateesa, just moments before Chewbacca arrived as a captive with Princess Leia, who was disguised as a bounty hunter named Boushh.[2]
