FAMILIE ADAMS!!!
The song "Addams Family Theme" by 4TET is an interpretation of the theme song of the 1960s television show "The Addams Family." The lyrics are simple, repeating the phrase "Family, family, Adams family," at the beginning and end of the song, with a few other lines in between. However, the most interesting aspect of this song is the use of nonsense words like "Zu babuli zigidi bom" and "Chúva súva jakata dúva." These made-up phrases are used to fill space in the song and add humour to the lyrics. They also echo the zany and eccentric nature of the Addams family itself.
The song is an accurate reflection of the Addams family's quirky personality and oddities, as the beating of the drums, use of the horn section, and the chanting in the chorus create an eerie ambiance. The key elements of the original nostalgic melody are also combined with a playful sense of humour in the singing of the nonsensical lyrics. This rendition of the song has become popular, as it has garnered over a million YouTube views and expressions of admiration from many viewers.

The Adams family is a close-knit, loving family that is proud of their heritage and their unique way of life.
ZU BABULI ZIGIDI BOM
This nonsensical phrase is simply a part of the catchy, upbeat melody and does not hold any deeper meaning.
10x Tudududap
Just like 'ZU BABULI ZIGIDI BOM', this line is a part of the song's melody and is repeated throughout to create a fun, memorable beat.
Tu dum ti já da dúdi,
One of the many made-up phrases in the song's lyrics, this line simply adds to the catchy rhythm and has no deeper meaning.
pa dů di já da důdi
Another nonsensical phrase, this line adds to the playful, lighthearted nature of the song and doesn't have any particular meaning.
ta dum ti já ba dúdi
Just like with the previous lines, this phrase is made up and has no deeper meaning. It's simply there to add to the song's overall rhythm and melody.
tu CHÚVA SÚVA JAKATA DÚVA
This line, like others in the song, is a made-up phrase that has no particular meaning or significance.
Ta dum ti já da dúdi,
This line is simply a continuation of the same melody and rhythm we heard earlier in the song, and doesn't hold any special meaning on its own.
