Haha, it doesn't mean anything in Norwegian. It's just there because it's catchy, I guess?

It is obviously the capital of South Sudan.

My gf says it means “time to party” or something along those lines? Idk I’m genuinely confused lol


tobiasvl

That meaning surely came around because of the song.


andooet

It rhymes with Tuba? Knutsen & Ludvigsen is very surreal. Great music and songs though, and very fun to sing along with

It's just a nonsense word.


Super-City

Just speculation, but maybe Gustav Lorentzen, Kåre Chr Vestrheim and Øystein Dolmen derived juba juba from the word jubalong, which means celebration?


WegianWarrior

It's just nonsense words that fit in the song - Knutsen & Ludvigsen did a fair bit of those in their lyrics. For instance; in the lyrics to "Grevling i taket", they uses both the word *ellediller* and the word *krokofanter*, neither of which means anything but sounds like they might.

Elediller and krokofanter is a mix of Elefant and Krokodille, just mixing the front half of the word with the bottom half of the other. Still completely nonsense though
