Here are two examples of "Gigalo". I've numbered these examples for the purpose of discussion.
GIGALO {Version #1} [All]: Gig ah lo-o Gig gig a lo-o Gig ah lo-o Gig gig a lo-o [Group]: Hey, Kayla [Kayla]: What? [Group]: Are you ready to gig? [Kayla]: Gig what? [Group]: Gigalo [Kayla]: My hands up high My feet down low And this is the way I gig a lo * [Group]: Her hands up high Her feet down low And this is the way she gigalos
{repeat from the beginning with the next soloist, and continue until everyone in the group has a turn as soloist}
-TMP, foot stomping cheer; remembrance of mid to late 1980s, Pittsburgh, PA; also collected by Azizi Powell in Pittsburgh, PA in 2004 among African Americans girls 6-10 years old.
* The soloist does a contemporary dance. In the final group portion, the soloist continues dancing while the other members of the group join in doing their own version of same dance.
