Behind the Lyrics: Meaning & Story

The Teletubbies theme song, titled “Teletubbies say ‘Eh-oh!'”, was composed by Andy McCrorie-Shand and became an instant cultural hallmark following the show’s UK premiere on March 31, 1997. Created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport of Ragdoll Productions, the theme introduces the four colorful inhabitants of Teletubbyland: Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po.

The song’s simple, repetitive structure was specifically designed to engage preschool-aged children, helping them with counting and character recognition. The phrase “Over the hills and far away” famously signaled the start of each adventure from the iconic Tubbytronic Superdome. Interestingly, the song was so popular that it reached Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart in December 1997, staying in the Top 75 for 32 weeks.

Spanning a massive 485 episodes across nine series, the original run concluded in 2001 but was successfully revived in 2015 for a new generation. Despite the final episode of the revival airing on October 12, 2018, the theme song remains an evergreen reminder of the gentle, imaginative world that revolutionized children’s television.
