Ok so uh... what?
There are like a bunch of different dance remixes of this on Spotify.... kids TV theme or whatever this is? But what are we actually meant to be voting for?

We are meant to be voting for chasing atommickbrane around the dancefloor of the Polar Bear while opening and closing your arms together like an exaggerated pair of crocodile jaws. I still say 'schnee schnaa' sometimes when referring to cutting stuff with scissors (eg "off to get my hair schneed").

Here's "Shake A Leg," my favorite of the two Roll Deeps ("Avenue" gets a bit overwhelmed by the sample, this one's got a more intricate interdance); official vid is nonembeddable, so here's a bare one:

Aly & AJ "Rush"; still my favorite song of theirs. This is what I wrote about Aly & AJ on my 2006 Jackin' Pop ballot:

that DJ Earworm since u been gone/dep mode track is possibly my most played track of the 00s. i think i still prefer it to the original since u been gone. that much.

I'm not sure if that is the lyric? But I want it to be, something about that has captured my heart completely. So, thank you!

That is definitely the lyric.
Aly & AJ are very poignant. Here's another thing I wrote about them (they show up about two-thirds of the way through the piece):
