Star Wars + Maroon 5 = "Moves Like Jabba" [VIDEO]

Each day, Mashable highlights one noteworthy YouTube video. Check out all our viral video picks.

Jabba the Hutt, the slug-like crime lord from the Star Wars saga, has inspired the latest parody of Maroon 5's chart-topping "Moves Like Jagger." The lyrics for the new spoof -- titled "Moves Like Jabba" -- poke fun at the fictional character's unfavorable eating habits and enormous size. For example:

"No Jedi mind tricks can control him / The force bounces off his double chin / With them moves like Jabba / He's got big boobs like Jabba / I gotta moooooooove like Jabba."

Other Star Wars characters have recently made their way into several viral videos, including Darth Vader and a pair of Stormtroopers in a Disneyland commercial and a mini Darth Vader in Volkswagen's Super Bowl ad.

"Moves Like Jabba" comes from Break Media, the digital publishing company that brought you "The Google+ Song" in August.
