Re: Ubbi Dubbi

The earliest place I've heard this is from the 60s albums and 70s TV cartoon series from Bill Cosby, with the character "Mushmouth." Was this an actual voice game which some kids of that era played, akin to Pig Latin, or was this just Cosby's invention?

"Ubbi Dubbi" is a voice game that the kids on a PBS show called "Zoom". The "Mushmouth" character's speech does sound similar, but I don't think they're related. If memory serves, "Mushmouth" ended words with either a "be" or "ba" sound. I'll have to do some research and get back to you. C²	[reply]
