Lapti Nek was entirely removed from Return of the Jedi the special edition (and the only edition legally available for purchase or rent today) because George Lucas' affair the girl who wrote the huttese lyrics broke up his marriage.
Otherwise she would collect royalties for every copy sold and every time it was shown on television.
This is also why Lucas is dead set against any official release of the original unaltered trilogy.
Now you know the rest of the story.
