What is a niggun (nee-goon)?

A niggun is a wordless melody often with repetitive sounds such as "Bim-Bim-Bam", "Lai-Lai-Lai", "Yai-Yai-Yai" or "Ai-Ai-Ai" instead of formal lyrics. This form of religious, vocal music can be simple or complex, slow and meditative, or fast and jubilant, sung over and over again.
