Dubidubidu was originally performed by Chilean singer Christell Rodriguez and released in 2003, with its chorus built around playful nonsense syllables. It faded for years before resurfacing in late 2023 on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram, where editors paired the chipi chipi section with a bobbing orange cat and other cute animals. The clip spread in many languages because the words need no translation, and the short loop became a standard soundtrack for pet memes, fan edits and cheerful reaction videos.
About this sound
The catchy chorus from Christell's Dubidubidu, the viral cat meme song used in cute pet videos and looping TikTok edits shared across social media.
This is the looping chorus of Dubidubidu, sung in a bright, childlike voice repeating chipi chipi chapa chapa and dubi dubi daba daba over a bouncy pop beat. The melody is simple, fast and deliberately repetitive, so it sticks in the head after one listen. Paired online with a spinning or bobbing cat, it creates a hypnotic, cheerful effect that feels both cute and absurd. The contrast between the innocent vocal and the endless loop is what makes short videos using it so watchable and shareable.
