"Jabdah" is a song recorded by Italian synthpop group Koto. Released in 1986, it was their first single that charted. It was written by Anfrando Maiola and Stefano Cundari and produced by Stefano Cundari and Alessandro Zanni. The song reached No. 11 in Switzerland, No. 23 in Germany and No. 28 in the Netherlands. Like Koto's previous single "Visitors", it is considered part of the "spacesynth" canon. It is their most remixed song, with twelve official remixes.
The song was used by Australian telecommunications company Optus in a 2018 ad campaign called "Both Is Better", in which a customer at a fish and chip shop asks for both "regular" and chicken salt on his order of chips. The customer then clicks his fingers, and the song promptly plays as he and two other people in the shop dance until the owner wraps up his order.
