It has finally happened.

The seventh installment in the Star Wars film series is upon us. Star Wars: The Force Awakens opens in theaters everywhere tonight and it's all anyone can talk/think/read about.

So why not jump on the bandwagon?

For today's 9:30 Coffee Break, we're looking for songs that reference Star Wars.

Feel free to get creative with this one – we are open to loose interpretations.

Songs Played

Queen "Bicycle Race"
Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication"
Supernova "Chewbacca"
Hold Steady "Swich"
J. Messersmith "Tatooine"
Gorrilaz "Clint Eastwood"
