- A Middle Eastern style of drum known as a tabla is capable of producing both a deep "doum" sound and a higher pitched "tek" sound. When people refer to the sound produced by these drums, they frequently use the words "doum" and "tek" to describe them. In these lyrics, the "doum doum tek doum" refers to a rhythm played on such a drum.
- These are nonsense syllables intended to sound like the music, similar to "tra la la" in English.
