"Country Grammar"
Song

"Country Grammar (Hot Shit)" is the debut single by the rapper Nelly, and it was released in 2000, taken from Nelly's 2000 album Country Grammar. It peaked at #7 in both the US and UK. Country Grammar introduced a unique and also unheard of Midwestern twang influenced by Nelly's Missouri roots. The song's chorus comes from a song popularly used with children's clapping games.

The hook from his song is:

I'm goin down down baby, yo' street in a Range Rover (c'mon) Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go (HOT SHIT!) Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now

The lyrics from the children's song are:

Down down baby, down by the roller coaster Sweet sweet baby, I'll never let you go Shimmy shimmy coca pop shimmy shimmy pow Shimmy shimmy coco puff shimmy shimmy pow

Rapper Jibbs would later use the same tactic Nelly used in creating his first hit single. He would go on to imitate the popular children's song "Do Your Ears Hang Low," with his song, "Chain Hang Low."
