In case your ears somehow missed out on the smooth, impeccable tune that is the jiggle jiggle rap, here’s what you need to know. Theroux, a British-American documentarian, wrote the rap in an episode of his BBC 2 documentary series, Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends. The episode aired way back in 2000. On Feb. 18, Theroux was asked if he remembered the rap during an appearance on the YouTube series, Chicken Shop Date, and he switched into star rapper-mode once again.
