Synopsis

Lil Mama begins in a recording studio, confidently predicting that her next single will be bigger than "Lip Gloss." When her younger sister points out that she does not even have a tour bus, Lil Mama uses her dance moves to make one appear. The video then moves into a lively neighborhood sequence, where children and dancers perform the G-slide while an ice cream truck delivers a playful lip-gloss surprise. The final section shifts into a darker performance setting before returning to the neighborhood for the song's closing chorus.

Factoids & Trivia

• "G-Slide (Tour Bus)" was released in 2007 as the second single from Lil Mama's debut album, "VYP - Voice of the Young People."

• The chorus draws on the melody and imagery of the children's song "The Wheels on the Bus," recasting the familiar rhyme as a dance-rap hook.

• The video premiered in August 2007 and later appeared in rotation on MTV's "Total Request Live" and BET's "106 & Park."

• Lil Mama's choreography became part of the first season of MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew." Kaba Modern were assigned the song and had to incorporate a lift into their routine.

• A separate "How She Move" version was produced with footage from the 2008 dance film, which featured "G-Slide (Tour Bus)" on its soundtrack.

• The song was issued commercially in New Zealand, while its planned U.S. single release was canceled.
