This is Part II of a two part series about the "Rock The Boat" cheerleader squad cheer and girls' softball cheer.

Thanks to The Hues Corporation for their 1974 Disco song "Rock The Boat" which is the inspiration for the children's "Rock The Boat" cheers and chants. Thanks to all those who are featured in these showcased videos and thanks to the publishers of these videos on YouTube. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post. -snip- *I am differentiating between girls pretending to be cheerleaders who chanted foot stomping cheers during as part of their recreational activities and girls who are actually members of a cheerleading squad that is associated with a sports team. **** ADDITIONAL YOUTUBE VIDEO EXAMPLES These videos are numbered for referencing purposes only.

"I have another example that I normally do:
Girl: My name is ___
All: Rock the boat
Girl: I'm feeling fine
All: Rock the boat
Girl: You mess with me
All: Rock the boat
Girl: I blow your mind
All: I said bang bang choo choo train, blow me up and I do
my thang, I know karate, I know kung fu, you mess with me, I mess with you.
Reese's pieces, seven up, you mess with me, i mess you up! Brick wall,
waterfall, girl you think you know it all, you don't. I do. So poof! With the
attitude, poof! With the attitude. See my pinkie see my thumb, see my fist you
better run! Oh wait, come back. You need a tic-tac. Not one, not two, but the
whole six pack. Sorry to be rude, but get a brand-new attitude.
I know it's different from most of these but it originated
from a softball cheer that a friend of mine" taught me

"I know another example of that song. I sung it at my camp before. It is similar to example 2. It goes like this:
Hey ____!
Hey What?
Hey ____!
Hey what?
Can you rock the boat?
I might.
Can you rock the boat?
Alright!
I slide, I glide, I get on the monkey ride and I want you and you, to rock the boat too.
Rock the boat, don't tip it over.
Rock the boat, don't tip it over."
