On May 4, 2016 ("Star Wars" Day), Miranda and Abrams performed the song, which is written in "Huttese" — the language spoken by Jaba the Hutt — for a crowd of fans waiting outside the Richard Rogers theater hoping to score "Hamilton" tickets.
Miranda also revealed the song is a nod to the rapper Shaggy.
"I went to a website that had all of the Huttese glossary of terms and it translates as, 'No, lover, lover. It wasn't me,'" Miranda said to the crowd. "It's literally a Shaggy intergalactic remix."
Miranda and Abrams recorded and released the song "Jaba Flow" under the pseudonym Shag F. Kava. If you're a hardcore "Star Wars" fan you may have already de-coded the name, but for less intense fans, Miranda took to Twitter in 2019 to explain the deeper meaning.
"Here's the deepest Star Wars trivia: SHAG is @jjabrams and my kids' initials, KAVA the 1st syllables of our wives' names. But I had another kid. So now...they're SHAG F. KAVA," Miranda's tweet read.
