- "Ah, 'Mad About Me.' An oldie but a goodie. One of my favorites. I find the sentiment agrees with me very much."
"I think it's overplayed." - ―Hondo Ohnaka and Bazine Netal
"Mad About Me," alternatively known as "Cantina Band,"[3] was a single[4] performed by Figrin D'an and the Modal Nodes. One of their favorites, they played it in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina when Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi entered to find passage from Tatooine to Alderaan. Kenobi and Skywalker got into a fight with patrons Ponda Baba and Dr. Cornelius Evazan shortly after arriving, interrupting the playing of the Modal Nodes, but when the fracas died down, they resumed the song.[3] The song was notably number one on Tatooine's greatest hits.[4]
An arrangement was played in Garsa Fwip's Sanctuary when Boba Fett first entered it.
