I just listened to that song's remix and damn it's very sexually suggestive. Considering how traditional and conservative the Cambodian society is, I'm surprised that it makes a buzz in the open like that.
The song seems to suggest that the girl is getting cold and the man seeks to warm her. And that's when she says "Kiki loo".
I'm wondering whether it could refer to a belief that dogs would bark and howl when a couple's having sex, thus giving them away?
What does "Kiki Lu" mean?

Oh god, I hope this isn't going to be the new size-a-bok. Where we have to endure watching the weathered old tarts pretend to be amused when the eight hundred thousandth Johnny come lately barrels through the black tinted doors of their bar and announces his arrival with a loud bellowing "size-a-bok".

I was investigating this in Cambodia over the past 6months as it was doing my head in, espeshially when all my Cambodian friends said they don't really know what it means, as in it doesn't have a direct translation into the context of what they are meaning with it, I was under the impression it was from another Asian language and they've just adapted into a slang term which they use?
the song that got uploaded on here (the newyear 2014 one) saying it was a copy of that, it cant be because that only got released a couple of months ago on youtube, where as the what does the kiki lu remix's started last year

I am Cambodian. Thanks someone here for giving me the link to the definition of Kiki Lu because I've seen it a lot too, but have a vague idea of what it means. Literally, Kiki Lu means howling dog as "Kiki" is a very popular name for dogs in Khmer and Lu means howl. However, the phrase "kiki lu" does not intend to mean that at all. Cambodian people perceive it as something different. The popluar "kiki lu" you see on the wall or on the internet actually means something related to sexuality. As http://thmeythmey.com/index.php?page=de ... 4312&lg=kh says, it can mean sound of a woman during sex, genitals, having sex, or according to my understanding, whatever related to sex. You can use it as a verb or noun, but remember that it can be understood by only some people as it's new and is popular among those who like using Facebook. By the way, dont Kiki Lu a lot at night or you'll get exhausted.
In short: A bunch of curious and wide-eyed virgins came up with the code "kiki lu" to be able to talk about sex and giggle like 12 year-olds.
Kiki lu means jackshit in khmer since its actually Korean, catch phrase from a popular k-pop song which the cambodians have picked up. "pok pon na he " means " how big is your pussy" according to the missus (her exact words, not mine).

funny how people still can't seem to grasp these (strange but simple) concepts....

Schools Fret as ‘Kikilu’ Craze Runs Rampant
BY HAY PISEY | JUNE 12, 2014
A Phnom Penh municipal education official said Wednesday that principals and teachers across the city were struggling to contain the “kikilu” phenomenon that has swept the country.
The term, which can be translated to “howling dog,” has in recent months appeared in a plethora of comedy sketches, songs and ads. But as principals have cottoned on to a less savory interpretation, schools have been battling to keep the word in check.
“The word is not good in its meaning, it means inviting one another to have sex,” said Im Hea, director of the education department’s primary schools office. “Most primary schools in Phnom Penh have warned the students against using that word, along with other kinds of bad words.”
Popularized by the performer Peakmi, the term’s vague meaning adds to its comedic effect. “Kiki” is a playful name for a dog, while “lu” means “to howl,” while the reason for the dog’s howl is left up to interpretation.
News website Thmey Thmey on May 5 published an article titled “The True Meaning of ‘Kiki Lu’ Is as Hard to Find as the MH370 Airplane,” and noted the term’s growing popularity.
“Some people say that it can refer to a dog that fell into a drain pipe, while others affirm it refers to the moan a woman makes while having sex,” the article reads.
Meas Chhorporn, principal of the Preah Norodom Primary School, said he has banned the word multiple times, but its use has snowballed—even among the school’s youngest students.
“The students use that word without knowing what they are saying,” he said. “Even preschool students use it; sometimes when they see a dog crossing.”
Most recently, teachers have announced that they will lower students’ grades if they catch them saying “kikilu,” a tactic that has managed to decrease use of the word, said Mr. Chhorporn.
Despite the harsh punishment, however, some students say they will not abandon the beloved term.
“I’m still using the word after a warning from the principal and teacher,” said Kimlong, 12.
