Parodies and puns Akira Toriyama named three characters in his Dragon Ball Z series after this song: the evil wizard Bibbidi, his son Bobbidi, and Bibbidi's powerful creation Majin Boo. However, these names are spelt as "Bibidi", "Babidi", and "Majin Buu" respectively, in the English dub of the animated adaption. Also, two characters of the arcade game Dragon Ball Heroes are also named after the song: the Majin Hero Salaga and the demon Mechickaboola. The song is parodied on the Pinky, Elmyra & the Brain episode "Narfily Ever After", a parody of Cinderella. A parody version recorded by Mickey Katz is entitled "The Baby, the Bubbe, and You". The lyrics of the song are algebraically analyzed in a math lesson by Mr. Garrison in the South Park episode "Royal Pudding". The title of the song is sung several times in Buck-Tick's song "Django!!! -Genwaku no Django-" from their album Razzle Dazzle. This phrase is often referenced in other Disney stories, mostly when magic is being used. For example, in The Return of Jafar, and also in the Hercules TV series, in the 'One Saturday Morning episodes,' Episode 12: "Hercules and the Gorgon." The popular radio show My Favorite Husband episode which aired on July 27, 1950, makes fun of the nonsense words of this song. The title of the episode is "Liz Writes A Song". The film Shrek 2 features a parody of the song, sung by Fiona's fairy godmother. The Tim Conway Jr. Show, on KFI Radio in Los Angeles, California, sometimes plays a version of the song in which the singer is interrupted by an Angry Doug Steckler who criticizes the song's math skills. Female members of SM Entertainment's pre-debut trainees team SM Rookies Koeun, Hina, and Lami covered a Korean version of the song in the Disney Channel Korea show Mickey Mouse Club in 2015. The line "Bibbidi bobbidi" is mentioned again in the song 9 & 3/4 (Run Away) by HYBE's Tomorrow X Together in 2019. The line "Bibbidi bobbidi Boo" is mentioned again in Josh's rap line of the song Bazinga by SB19 in 2021.
