About this sound

The catchy I Like to Move It jingle, made famous by Madagascar, with its upbeat dance hook. Creators use it for party, dance and celebration clips.

This short jingle captures the instantly recognisable hook from I Like to Move It, a bouncy, high-energy dance tune built around a driving beat, bright horns and a chant-like vocal line that invites everyone to move.
