This post notes the similarities in titles of Hip Hop's Dlow Shuffle and Disney Junior's DJ Shuffle as well as the similarities between portions of the lyrics for the Dlow Shuffle and one version of the DJ Shuffle.
Another similarity between the Dlow Shuffle and the DJ Shuffle is that the "DLow Shuffle" song mentions "do the bunny hop" and the bunny from the Disney Junior series Sofia The First is the lead character in the DJ Shuffle video.
The date for the original YouTube video of the Dlow Shuffle (December 7, 2013) precedes by two months the earliest publicly given date that I've found for Disney Junior's DJ Shuffle (Disney Records to Release DJ SHUFFLE Compilation Ablum
February 25, 2014 http://www.broadwayworld.com/bwwtv/article/Disney-Records-to-Release-DJ-SHUFFLE-Compilation-Ablum-20140225). An excerpt of this article is given after in the first video in this post of the DJ Shuffle.
Could these similarities be a just a coincidence?
Here are the videos and lyrics for these two songs [Note: There are two versions of the lyrics for the DJ Shuffle.]
