Louis Theroux and Chicken Shop Date creator Amelia Dimoldenberg feature alongside Jason Derulo in the official video for their viral hit, Jiggle Jiggle.
Earlier this year, a remix of Theroux and Dimoldenberg’s conversation - in which she asks if he can recall a rap he performed in an episode of Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends in 2000 - became a popular dance trend on TikTok. The video for the song, released on Derulo’s official YouTube channel on Thursday, sees Theroux, Dimoldenberg and Derulo visit chicken shops and late-night diners across London.
The song amassed over 70 million global streams from its appearance on TikTok after DJ and producing duo Duke & Jokes set Theroux’s rap to a backing track and posted it to the social media platform. The documentary filmmaker, 52, sings: “My money don’t jiggle jiggle, it folds. I like to see you wiggle wiggle, for sure.

“It makes me wanna dribble dribble, you know. Riding in my Fiat, you really have to see it,” he continues, as the video shows him and Dimoldenberg, 28, driving around London in a Fiat and ordering 500 nuggets – and chips – from a McDonald’s “drive-Theroux.”
Derulo, 32, then joins in from a diner with his own lyrics. The video, which has more than 150,000 views on YouTube, marks Theroux’s first single, the buzz from which still “mystifies” him.
Speaking to The New York Times in June, Theroux said: “I got an email: ‘Hey, a remix of the rap you did on Chicken Shop Date is going viral and doing extraordinary things on TikTok.’ I’m, like, ‘Well, that’s funny and weird.’”
When asked if the attention has earned him the money he boasts to have in the song, Theroux responded: “I sincerely hope we can all make some jiggle jiggle out of the phenomenon. Or maybe some fold… So far, it’s been more on the jiggle end.”
