4)  “Weird Al” Yankovic  ~  “The Saga Begins”

6)  Bill Murray  ~  “Star Wars”

7)  Nerf Herder  ~  “I’m The Droid You’re Looking For”  (A Star Wars-inspired song by a band whose name was inspired by an insult from a Star Wars film. Appropriate!)

8)  Christmas In The Stars Cast  ~  “What Can You Get A Wookiee For Christmas (When He Already Owns A Comb)?”  (I know it’s not even remotely Christmastime, but how could I possibly exclude this iconic song from this set?)

19)  “Weird Al” Yankovic  ~  “Yoda”

20)  Zammuto  ~  “F U C-3PO”  (For what it’s worth, the title of this song has nothing to do with the lyrics of the song, and no Star Wars characters or harsh expletives are even mentioned in it.)
