"I Like To Move It" is a 1994 song performed by Reel 2 Real (Erick Morillo), featuring The Mad Stuntman.


The Madagascar Franchise prominently features the song in many ways, a cover is performed by Sacha Baron Cohen for the soundtrack of the first Madagascar film. Will.i.am performs a cover for the soundtrack of the second film with lyrics different to that the original version, In the third film, the song is mashed with "Afro Circus" during the finale and credits, Afro Circus/I Like To Move It features Danny Jacobs singing the "I Like to Move It" part on the soundtrack, while Sacha Baron Cohen sings it in the film and on the film's score. Afro Circus/I Like to Move It also can be heard in The Penguins of Madagascar Film at the beginning of the film, to express how annoyed the penguins are at being in the circus. The original Reel 2 Real version can be heard in the first and final episode of All Hail King Julien.

Okay then…
While you're here, I just wanna tell you a little story
This long story I think my daddy used to tell me, he was the king as well
I was born, probably about...
68 years ago, over by that tree over there, yeah
And I remember things changed a lot
In those days, In Madagascar it wasn't so commercial, you know
It wasn't all about money and who's got the latest tree,
and what leaves are you wearing
And who's got the latest fur on their back, you know
Those day it was just me and a couple of the others, you know
Doing the jungle boogie, you know
Jungle boogie! Jungle boogie!
WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!

MOVE IT!


You really think this is never gonna end? 'Cuz it is.

We like to move it!
I like to move it, move it
She like to move it, move it
He like to move it, move it
We like to move it!
Keep on jumpin' off the floor
Dancin' 'til your feet is sore
Party hard just like it's Mardi Gras
'Cause that's what life is for (Yeah!)
And we don't party hardly (No!)
We just party hard (Yeah!)
And not because we bored (No!)
We party 'cause we born to party
We gonna move our bodies
With our hands in the air
And wave 'em all around
Like we just don't care
Yeah!
Moto Moto in the house
Yeah!
I'm about to turn it out
Yeah!
And you know it's going down
I'm physically, physically, physically round
I like to move it, move it

We like to move it!
I like to move it, move it
She like to move it, move it
We like to move it, move it

Party ain't done, party ain't done
Party this belly got started, Act I
It just begun, big action
Pump up the volume, speaker blastin'
Shake up the ground, shake up the ground
Shake like a earthquake, quake up the ground
Play to make a sound, play to make a sound
Play to make a, play to make a, play to make a sound
So I can do my little dance, do my little dance
Do my little, do my little, do my little dance
Ants in my pants, got ants in my pants
Ants in my, ants in my, ants in my pants
That's why I keep on movin'
Yes, that's why I keep on groovin'
Yes, that's why I keep on doin'
Doin' what I'm doin', y'all
First name Moto, last name Moto
Here's how you spell it, M-O-T-O M-O-T-O
When I step in all the girls want a photo
Ya know, hey, yo
Moto Moto in the house
I'm about to turn it out
And you know it's goin' down
