    While others did explain skibidi toilet, I think it would be good to step back a little to what popularised the… sound? “skibidi”.

    Some Turkish dude used this part of a song in his belly dance video. I am talking about a bouncy belly. This is a repost of that: https://youtube.com/shorts/3-RlRmYshCQ
    He then later posted more similar videos, becoming a meme.

    As for the song, this is it: https://youtu.be/0U7SBGBCoGs

      “Skibidy” predates this song by a long shot. It’s a common vocalization used in a lot of scat singing, so it’s possibly a century old at this point.

      Oooh neat, I’d never come across this. Important context!
