"Country Grammar (Hot Shit)" is the debut single by the rapper Nelly, produced by Jason "Jay e" Epperson. It was released in 2000, taken from Nelly's 2000 album Country Grammar. It peaked at #7 in both the US and UK and hit #56 in Sweden. "Country Grammar" introduced a unique and also unheard of Midwestern twang influenced by Nelly's Missouri roots. The song's melody and chorus were taken from a song popularly sung by children with clapping games called "Roller Coaster".
The hook from Nelly's song is:
- I'm goin down down baby, yo' street in a Range Rover (c'mon)
- Street sweeper baby, cocked ready to let it go (Hot Shit!)
- Shimmy shimmy cocoa what? Listen to it pound
- Light it up and take a puff, pass it to me now.
The lyrics from the children's song are:
- Down down baby, down by the roller coaster
- Sweet sweet baby, I'll never let you go
- Shimmy shimmy coca pop shimmy shimmy pow
- Shimmy shimmy coco puff shimmy shimmy pow.
Rapper Jibbs would later use the same tactic employed by Nelly in creating his first hit single. He would go on to imitate the popular children's song "Do Your Ears Hang Low?," with his song, "Chain Hang Low".
The song was also parodied in the TV show MADtv.
