The "You Make Us Go To Sleep" cheer and cheer routine was created by Sparkman High School cheerleaders (Harvest, Alabama) as part of a longer cheer/cheer routine. A video of this cheer that was performed by that high school's cheerleading squad was first published on Tik Tok in 2023.
The words for that cheer are given below in this 2026 pancocojams post.

This post presents information about the fictitious character "Starrkeisha" and presents information about the "new" African American Vernacular English (slang) meaning of the word "petty". A reprint of one comment that I wrote in that 2017 post's discussion thread is also included in this video. There are two additional comments in that 2017 post (as of May 26, 2026)

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2026/05/similarities-and-differences-between.html for Part I of a close related two part 2026 pancocojams post entitled "The Stomp & Shake Cheers "You Make Us Go To Sleep" and "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" (Videos)." That video showcases a different un-named cheerleading squaw than the Sparkman High School cheerleaders who are the original creators of that cheer and its cheer routine. Part II of that series presents comments from a discussion thread for that example of the "All Y'All Cheers Are Boring" cheers. The link to that post is given in Part I of that series.
