Music video

Directed by Bryan Barber, the video starts with the Baha Men's tour bus arriving at a college fraternity house filled with high-class students. The Baha Men tell them that they're here for 'the party' with the students protesting no party until the band forces themselves in to set up with a bunch of people coming up behind them hearing about the party. The party escalates from being a house party to going outside during the night with the police coming in to stop the party only for them to get sucked in by the music. Throughout the video, the partygoers perform dance moves that the Baha Men mention in the song from the twist, the electric slide and the robot.

Popular culture

The song was in the soundtrack of the 2002 comedy film Big Fat Liar, starring Frankie Muniz, Amanda Bynes and Paul Giamatti.^[6] It was also featured in the video game Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball^[7] as well as in an NBA commercial.^[4] It was used in a promo for Nick Jr. that aired during the world premiere of the Blue's Clues special, "Meet Joe". It had kids and animated characters from Maggie and the Ferocious Beast, Dora the Explorer, Bob the Builder, Franklin the Turtle, Little Bear, Little Bill, and Oswald dancing to the song.^[8]
