hub·ba-hub·ba (hb-hb) is a slang term.

I imagine it has to do with the Tom Tom Club (not the music group), which you can read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Tom_Club
And "habba babba" is a silly phrase. And also the theme of some silly videos that you must see to believe:

It reminds me of one of my favorite Bubble gums, called "Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum".
