Crank Dat

Crankin dat got the inanet going nuts, so I gotsta blog on it. If you don't know bout cranking dat, just search it on youtube. Its basically a southern dance style very similar to the snap dancing that was popular a couple years ago. Each variation of the "crank dat" dance has its own song explaining how to do it and what not. "Crank Dat Soulja Boy" by 16 year old rapping prodigy, Soulja Boy, is probably the most popular dance/song. However, there are many others out there, including various parodies of Soulja Boy's childish rhymes. Many of the dances focus on cartoon characters, because in the original Soulja Boy name drops various cartoon characters and stuff. You can make your own by adding your favorite cartoon character to "crank dat" and then making up some silly dance.
My personal favorite is "Crank Dat Charlie Brown." Its crack.


Feel free to comment and post your own favorite.
If you are looking for the songs for yourself so you can crank dat while listening to your ipod, I got the hookup right here. Props to Kartoon who originally put them together and uploaded them. Buy the artists' albums.
