Overall Meaning

The Teletubbies were a popular British children's television series that ran from 1997 to 2001. The show revolved around four anthropomorphic characters, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, who lived in a futuristic dome called Teletubbyland. The lyrics to the Opening Theme Song served as an introduction to the Teletubbies and their world.


The first few lines of the song, "Over the hills and far away, Teletubbies come to play," suggest the idea of a magical land that is far away from the mundane world. The Teletubbies come from a world that is beyond the hills and beyond the reach of the real world. The next few lines reveal that it is "Time for teletubbies" and it is repeated twice to highlight the significance of this moment. The Teletubbies are announcing their arrival, and it is a special time in Teletubbyland.


The rest of the song introduces each of the characters by name, starting with Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, and ends by collectively referring to them as "Teletubbies." The characters greet each other and the audience with their catchphrases, "Tinkywinky!", "Dipsy!", "Laalaa!", "Po!", and "Eh-oh!" The last line of the song, "Where have the Teletubbies gone?" suggests that the Teletubbies have disappeared into their magical world beyond the hills, leaving the real world behind.
