Question: was i like to move it written for madagascar

Answer: No, 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. The first film used a version recorded by Sacha Baron Cohen, the second film used a version by will.i.am, while 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 sang it on the soundtrack, in both versions being along with 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 Movie It'' tune was played near the start of the Madagascar spin-off film Penguins of Madagascar.
