In the movie, it plays the I like to move it move it song, which to my surprise had the most intricate, crazy slap bassline I've seen in a while. Of all the songs to put a banger like that on, I would have never thought it would be Madagascar.
The magazine's David Bennun commented, "The result is ridiculously, naggingly, excruciatingly simple, as you will have no doubt come to realise by the time it turns up on the radio for the 19th time that day and you put your boot through the dial."[11] Another editor, Sarra Manning, praised the song as "god-like genius".[12] Maria Jimenez from Music & Media remarked that the "boomin'"[13] and "grinding scorcher is gaining much audience and radio support on this side of the ocean."[14] Andy Beevers from Music Week rated the song four out of five, adding, "Originally released by Strictly Rhythm, this inspired combination of NY house rhythms and The Mad Stuntman's ragga rhymes has been generating plenty of interest on import."[3] Another editor, Alan Jones, complimented it as a "fierce ragga house anthem".[15] James Hamilton from the Record Mirror Dance Update declared it a "madly happy gruff ragga rapped bogle/soca-style leaper".[16]
Many versions of the song have frequently been used throughout the Madagascar franchise, with many of them with lyrics changed or altered to match with each film's plot and the film's subject matter (usually replacing "sexy" with "sassy"). The first film used a version recorded by Sacha Baron Cohen, the second film used a version by will.i.am, and the third film used a mix-up with the original tune "Afro Circus" in the number "Afro Circus/I Like to Move It". The "I like to move it" part was sung by Baron Cohen in the film while Danny Jacobs, who voices King Julien in the spinoff TV series and games, sang it on the soundtrack, in both versions alongside Chris Rock. The original version appeared in the first and last episode of the Madagascar Netflix series All Hail King Julien and the "Afro Circus/I Like to Move It" tune was played near the start of the Madagascar spin-off film Penguins of Madagascar. Jacobs, as Julien, also sang a Christmas song called "Santa Claus Is Coming to Madagascar", a modified cover of "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" which uses the same beat as "I Like to Move It" in Merry Madagascar.
We like to move it, move it
You like to move it, move it
I like.. Oh, I did I. Have I done I? I I think I did I like to
I think I did I like.. "We"? What about "we"? "They"? "They"? I did "they" as well, okay

this song is clearly about drugs. its mostly about crack. the line "gai ya nose powder - pon ya face a mek man mud up" ITS clearly get your cocaine and sniff it up your face. so moving.. they should have made lots more like it.
the madagascar version was better. AND IF U THINK ITS BOUT DRUGS THEN UR WRONG CUZ I LOOKED IT UPits bout girls with good size asses shakin them like theres aint no tomorrow. yea thats wut im talkin bout
The song may be fixed in its run time of three minutes and 12 seconds, but listening is also a form of travel, and this is where Raza starts to push the idea that home is one thing or another. The song stays where it is even as it moves us, in the same way that home can be one thing or many things, such as people, places, cuisines, and music.
Madagascar's song I Like to Move It (originally performed by Reel 2 Real) was remixed with new vocals sung by Sasha Baron Cohen, who was the voice of King Julian, the lemur tribe chief in the 2005 animation film Madagascar. The song was also featured being danced to by Apolo Anton Ono and his dance partner during the 2007 season of Dancing with the Stars (US season 4).i thought, it was a black guy who sang it in the video... and the voice didn`t sound like sacha`s... well, anyway ;-)

Crickets (Grylloidea) are an excellent group for testing our ability to predict the position of the radiation zone with respect to island area and isolation. On the one hand, they have high dispersal abilities and have reached some of the most remote oceanic archipelagos worldwide; for example they are one of only two Orthopteran superfamilies to have reached the Hawaiian archipelago without human intervention [11]. On the other hand, unlike many other groups with such high dispersal abilities, crickets are believed to be capable of speciating at small spatial scales and low levels of geographic isolation. Although many island cricket radiations are proposed, few are supported by molecular analyses. Among the limited number for which phylogeographic studies have been conducted, a plethora of intra-island speciation has been documented [12,13]. The most extensively studied case concerns the four largest Hawaiian islands, each of which have hosted the intra-island cladogenetic speciation of between four and six endemic species in the genus Laupala. Such closely related species are morphologically cryptic, dietary generalists, with no ecologically distinguishable features. However, they can be distinguished based on the pulse rate of male courtship song, and it appears that divergence in such secondary sexual traits has been key in their intra-island cladogenetic speciation [12,14], allowing gene flow to be interrupted within small geographic areas despite high dispersal abilities.
The article was generally well written but perhaps lacked flow - sentences were short, sharp and to the point (thank you for that!) but sometimes a little too short and sharp. I think one more read through would improve the flow. For example, try not to start two successive sentences with the same word, it tends to read like a list. Please also use quotation marks when naming sounds and refer to the spectrograms so the author can link the sound with the spectrograms.
The literature was sufficient for the field - if the field was specifically humpback whale social calls. I would be careful though when making conclusions about your work. You have a sound catalogue for humpback whales from a particular region, you can't make any inferences about how the diversity of sound types highlights the importance of acoustic interactions (last line of abstract). This comes out in the results where the sections are just lists of different sound types with some short descriptions (again referring back to short sharp sentences that ends up being a list). As a reader, it is difficult to use these results to inform my own research, first because you don't refer to the spectrograms, and second, because I am not sure what the take-home message is. See comments below in experimental design.
Spectrograms are nice, I would have liked to see the the results of the random forest presented as a figure.
The results were self-contained though I think there might have been an issue with including song sounds from nearby singers. More details is required on how you know the sounds came from the female, calf, or escort (and whether or not the escort is singing), as it is written, it suggests song sounds may have come from the female or calf (perhaps this is just a mis-communication). You suggested looking at dive profiles of tagged females and calfs to try to determine which animal made the sound - unfortunately this did not work for us. I understand you probably captured sounds from non-tagged animals, what I would suggest you make clear, is where these song sounds came from.
