I tired of “Crank That” many, many moons ago. Perhaps it was around the time that I found out the song was what my friend Carmen from Racialicious so expertly referred to as an ode to ejaculation. Or maybe it was because the song, when you get right down to it, is as annoying as hell, and once the novelty has worn off, the novelty has worn off.
Yet, here’s Soulja Boy, still making the rounds, although, now that he has won over the hip-hop-listening/youth population, it’s time to conquer the white movies stars and talk show hosts. Above, see him inspire a group of brave women to hop around like crazy people on the Ellen show. After the jump, watch Natalie Portman gamely attempt the dance — in red stilettos!!!!
I sort of just want him to go away.

I had to stop the footage of Natalie. It was just too embarassing.
It’s a song for the kiddies. My 8 y.o. nephew can do it. when I tried…he said, “auntie you old.”
That’s the last time I’ll ever do that dance.
so really, there are women in their right minds dancing to a song about someone supermaning them!!!

Nah. It’s just catchy. He only moved 200k units so I think ppl know he’s a one-hit by now. I just can’t beleive he’s stil trying to teach ppl the dance.
