The chorus comes from Dubidubidu, a 2003 song by Chilean singer Christell Rodríguez that found a second life on TikTok in late 2023 and 2024, when users paired it with videos of cats dancing, spinning, and staring at the camera. The nonsensical chipi chipi chapa chapa hook spread quickly through short edits and remixes, becoming shorthand for cute, chaotic pet content alongside other cat laugh meme clips. Its simple rhythm and childlike vocals keep it popular for lighthearted edits long after the original trend peaked.
