The Shimmy Shimmy Ya hook from Ol' Dirty Bastard, looped as a meme sound for dancing cat videos, playful edits and reaction clips used online today.

This clip loops the instantly recognisable chorus from Shimmy Shimmy Ya, built around Ol' Dirty Bastard repeating the title phrase in his loose, off-kilter delivery over a bouncy piano-led beat. The vocal chant is simple and rhythmic, which is why the twelve second excerpt works as a standalone meme sound. Online it is most closely tied to shimmying cats and pets that wiggle their shoulders in time with the hook. The effect is light and goofy rather than dramatic, turning a normal dance, walk or head bob into a confident little strut.

Shimmy Shimmy Ya was released in 1995 as a single by American rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard from his debut solo album Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version. Its repetitive hook and distinctive piano riff made it one of his best known tracks. Decades later the chorus found a second life in short form video, where editors paired the chant with dancing pets, especially cats appearing to shimmy their shoulders. The simple repeatable phrasing makes it easy to loop, recognise instantly and reuse for light comic timing.
