The Yee Haw Agenda is alive and well. On Friday, Lil Nas X released his album 7 EP and the hoedown-style dance The Git Up is currently going viral online.

#TheGitUpChallenge

The Git Up Challenge is a dance inspired and created by the song “The Git Up” by Blanco Brown. In this hoedown-style song, Brown directs dancers to step along to his instructions including the chorus:

Gon’ and do the 2 step then cowboy boogie
Grab your sweetheart and spin out with ’em
Do the hoedown and get into it (Woooo Whoooo Whoooooouuu)
Take it to the left now and dip with it
Gon’ throw down take a sip with it
Now lean back put your hips in it (It’s simple, you can do it)

“The Git Up” was released in early May, followed by a video featuring Lainey Wilson and a how-to dance video by Blanco Brown.

On social media, people are posting their own renditions of The Git Up Dance and tagging it with hashtags including #GitUp, #TheGitUpChallenge, and #TheGitUp.
