It exactly sounds to me the words Japanese small children use resisting to some
suggestion their parents give, acting like a baby.
Originally, it is
Iyada(dislike) but colloquially it souds like
yada.
Example:
A child has a special choice to
get at a shop but his or her mother recommends something else for some reasons with which they try to
persuade hard. The child says,”
yada, yada, yada, I prefer to my choice”.

kum ba yada yada yada

The temporary
after-effects of a
tragedy big enough to attract public attention, whereby politicians talk on and on (and on and on...) about how people need to be more civil and respectful of each other, when everyone knows the new mindset is a temporary one.
Can also be used to describe what happens after a business aquisition when the CEO of the expanded company addresses the employees of the acquired firm and says 'we're all one big family', just before the
layoff notices are sent.
Example:
Person 1: I think that due to (
fill in tragedy here) people are going to think before they do or say something hurtful when they disagree.
Person 2: Why, because of all that kum ba yada yada yada on TV?
Don't hold your breath.
