Uh, my name's nick cannon.

I just, you know, wanted to come ask you

A couple of questions about the music industry,

'Cause, you know, I'm taking over,

And I'm thinking of coming out with a new sound,

Starting, like, a new act,

And I know you, like, put it down

When it comes to the choreography.

And I was just wondering if you could show me, like,

Some choreography moves or something.

Ok, ok, I'll teach you a little bit, ok?

Ok, hold on, hold on, let me get prepared first.

First you gotta hold that. Ok.

All right, all right.

And then you do, like, a little, um, what is it?

The shaking of the booty. Just go like that.

Oh, hey. Can y'all see that?

And the famous--

The one famous move that you have to learn is the shimmy.

Like that.

See, the shim-- I like the shimmy.

Oh, he's good at the shimmy. Oh, my gosh.

That's good; that's very good.

I think-- I'm feeling the shimmy. Oh, ok, yeah.

That's cool. That's hot.

I like your shimmy better than mine.

This'll be the new shimmy, all right?

This is the new shimmy? Yeah.

Ok, I started the new shimmy.

You were very good. You're a fast learner. I'm impressed.

Thank you. So I can probably teach my artists now...

Totally.

You know, maybe get 'em some outfits like this.
