Also, Jennie, another cheer that was featured in that first Bring It On movie, was called "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train". That cheer was performed by the Clovers ["inner-city" squad] and isn't Valley Girl lingo. I saw that cheer performed in 1997 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area before the Bring It On movies. My website Cocojams has also received a lot of different versions of that cheer, which I've posted on the cheerleading page as well as on the School Yard Taunting Rhymes page and on the Foot Stomping Cheer's page.

Here's one example:

In the version that I heard in 1997 was structured and performed as a foot stomping cheer-the group said the first "bang bang choo choo train" line and said a girl's name. That girl said the back is aching/bra's too tight/bootie [meaning her behind] shaking from the left to the right line. The cheer then started again with a new soloist who gave her name or nickname, and this pattern continued until every girl in the group had one turn as the soloist. This was performed to a moderately tempo, percussive beat that alternated bass sounding foot stomps and [individual] handclaps.

Jenny, I'd love to find out if girls who attend your high school in Australia know "Bang Bang Choo Choo Train" and whether they learned it from the Bring It On movies.

Thanks, in advance!
