"The Block Party" - Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes

I can easily see the melody in the chorus from Lady Sovereign's "The Broom" as a skip-rope rhyme too... "it's like nee-naw bang bang nee-naw bang bang nee-naw bang bang, that's what I sang!"

What's the difference between skip-rope chants and cheerleader chants? I'm sure we can think of a lot in the latter department (from Mickey to Hollaback to Smog's "B-L-O-O-D F-L-O-W-S" to Magnetic Fields "Washington DC" etc etc

Doesn't that one Bikini Kill song have "Miss Mary Mack," etc. etc.? Maybe I'll come back to this when I'm not drunk.

I was about to suggest "Hollaback", but I'm still not quite sure of what defines a skip rope rhyme.

nine years pass...

By happenstance I've recently come across and consequently become obsessed with both Double Dutch and Double Dutch Bus. Strangely they're also at similar tempos which makes for tempting mixing opportunities. Any more for this short-lived thread?
