"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 television ad, as part of their 2018 campaign "Both Is Better". In the ad, customers at a fish and chip shop dance to the song after one of them asks for both "regular" and chicken salt on their order of chips.
