Overall Meaning

King Tubby is a dub/reggae artist, and 'King Tubby' is a song that has simple lyrics but speaks volumes about the emotion of the artist. The song starts with the "ooh ooh" sound that gradually transitions into actual words. The first line essentially sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the artist can be seen expressing their love for someone. They repeat the phrase "baby I" several times, which gives a sense of desperation in wanting to express how much they love this person.


The "tudululu" part of the song is a fun sound, and doesn't hold much meaning but helps to emphasize the artist's affection. The next line complements the first, where the artist declares that they love their significant other so much. The "ahah ah ah" part could be interpreted as the artist trying to hold back tears while pouring their heart out. The song concludes with the artist mentioning how they are willing to work tirelessly day and night to ensure that their loved one is happy.

As Mikey Dread said: "King Tubby truly understood sound in a scientific sense. He knew how the circuits worked and what the electrons did. That's why he could do what he did"

Simple and powerful words
