The singles market is driven by children, and not just at Christmas." We've taken a hell of a lot of the Teletubbies record. At this time of year, people aren't being so serious about their purchasing. Siobhan Ennis, the singles manager at Tower Records' flagship store in Piccadilly Circus said, "The race for the Christmas No 1 is really exciting. This race was said to have been decided by the under-10 age group as the rival Spice Girls were popular with seven-year-old girls while the Teletubbies were more popular with younger children. There was considerable anticipation that it would be the Christmas number one in 1997 and it was the betting favorite at William Hill at odds of 6–4. The Teletubbies have not had another such hit, making them a one-hit wonder. In 1998, a Dutch version titled "Teletubbies zeggen 'A-Oh!'" was released in the Netherlands, where it reached number 12. It was also a hit in Ireland, peaking at number two. It remained in the top 100 for a total of 41 weeks and sold well enough to be certified double platinum.

The single reached number one on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in December 1997.

The song contains two nursery rhymes: the Teletubbies hum along to " Baa, Baa, Black Sheep" and the flowers from Teletubbyland sing " Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary".
