Bubbly bubbly bubbly bubbly
The lyrics to Aphex Twin's song "Alberto Balsam" are actually just a repetition of the word "bubbly" over and over again. However, despite the lack of traditional lyrics, the song is still incredibly evocative and emotional. The repeated word "bubbly" has a sense of playfulness and joy, as if the listener is being invited to join in on the fun. The way the word is repeated over and over again also creates a sense of euphoria and a kind of trance-like state. This is perhaps helped by the ambient, dreamy, and slightly chaotic music that accompanies the vocals.
