Jabdah

"Jabdah" is a song recorded by Italian synthpop group Koto. Released in 1986, it was their first single that charted. It was written by Anfrando Maiola and Stefano Cundari and produced by Stefano Cundari and Alessandro Zanni. The song reached No. 11 in Switzerland, No. 23 in Germany and No. 28 in the Netherlands. Like Koto's previous single "Visitors", it is considered part of the "spacesynth" canon. It is their most remixed song, with twelve official remixes. As indicated in its music video, Jabdah is a tribute to Star Wars, particularly the character Jabba the Hutt, and utilizes clips of him.
