Wanna know how you got here? really? well, i'll tell you. you were on some other stupid song, saw cotton eyed joe in the suggestions, paused your video, cried tears of joy, danced, called your family and told all of them what an amazing invention youtube is, and clicked on cotton eyed joe. how do i know thats what happened? experience bro :)
There was this huge joke with this song when i was in year 6! something to do with those dance machines in arcades and a LOT of free time on a school trip! XD
We all danced to this all the time in primary school. I took it in and the next thing i know im On the tables with me and my mate singing along and kicking ass with our dance moves!
I remember being at a football game and this came on. I was watching Tiffany cheer, and at the halftime break, this came on. I just stood up and danced on the top of the bleachers XDDDD
My class had a project, it was to act like news reporter, my partner chose cotton eye joe, and then next thing you know I find a song named cotton eye joe.....(O.O) weird...
@ClassicGal22 I came here from Cannibal Corpse - I Cum Blood. Then to Hammer Smashed Face misheard lyrics, then . . . I have no idea, but now I'm here.
i got ma cowgirl hat on and ma plaid shirt tucked in ma baggy patched pants i got big brown cowgirl boots and im doin the cowgirl dance! im a hillbilly at heart...no doughten dat and if you say im a city girl well you gotta admit ...i dang am
i sorta like this song,but its hard to love it when your music teacher forces you to dance and sing this at your elementery school graduation,twice in front of your parents and friends.
