Jerk It Out

"Jerk It Out" is a song by Swedish rock band Caesars. It was released in 2002 (when the band was known as Caesars Palace) as the lead single from their album Love for the Streets; it is also featured on the follow-up Paper Tigers in remixed form. The song was an international success following a re-release in 2005, reaching number eight on the UK Singles Chart and peaking at number 70 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song's appearance on charts was helped by prolific use in mid-2000s media, including commercials for the iPod Shuffle, Mobiltel, Nivea, Coca-Cola (in South Africa and Indonesia) as well as a 2009 Renault Mégane spot. Furthermore, it was used in the video games Dance Dance Revolution SuperNova (arcade and PlayStation 2 versions), FIFA Football 2004, FIFA 23, Just Dance, LMA Manager, Rock Band 3 (as downloadable content), Samba de Amigo (downloadable content for the Wii version) and SSX 3. The song was part of the soundtrack of many films, including The Benchwarmers; Captivity; Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo; Fun with Dick and Jane; and Yours, Mine and Ours. It featured in trailers for Knight and Day, The Pink Panther and Garfield Gets Real, while the remix of the song was used in the trailer for Clerks II. The song was used in the car sketch in the Eddsworld short "Random Bits". The song was included in the TV series Dawson's Creek, the CBS series Cold Case, the NBC series Las Vegas, the HBO series Entourage, NCIS, and the British series Teachers. In 2017, it was sampled by rapper Tiggs Da Author in his song "Work It Out". In 2020, the song was used to introduce the character Dani Rojas in episode 6 of the TV series Ted Lasso.
