Circle Circle Dot Dot facts for kids

"Circle Circle Dot Dot" is a fun song by Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone. It was released as a single in 2006. This song is also the very first track on their rap album called Blowin' Up.

Where the Song Came From

This song comes from a popular American children's playground song. Kids often use it to pretend to get a "cootie shot." Cooties are imaginary germs that kids sometimes say other kids have.

The original words for the "cootie shot" are:

Circle, circle.

Dot, dot.

Now you got your cootie shot.

When kids say these words, they often trace two circles with dots inside on a friend's hand or arm. It's like giving them a pretend vaccination against cooties. Sometimes, kids even use a pen or marker to draw the circles.

There are also other versions of the playground rhyme. For example, some kids might say:

Circle, circle.

Knife, knife.

Now you got your shot for life.

Or another version is:

Circle, circle.

Square, square.

Now you have it everywhere.

The Music Video

Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone made a music video for "Circle Circle Dot Dot." You could find it on YouTube and Jamie Kennedy's old Myspace page.

An Australian YouTuber named Blunty3000 (Nate Burr) won a contest for the song. Jamie Kennedy and Stu Stone asked fans to make their own music videos. Blunty3000 created a cool LEGO stop-motion video. This type of video is also called a brickfilm. His video was so popular that it was featured on the front page of YouTube.

Jamie and Stu's record company, Warner Bros. Records, also planned an official video in 2006. This video was a funny copy of the 1980s Wham! video for their song "Wake Me Up Before You Go Go." The video was finished, but it was never officially released. This was partly because the LEGO video was already a big hit online.
