2 Live Crew singles chronology

"Do the Bart" is a single from 2 Live Crew from their album Banned in the U.S.A.^[1] It has relatively little profanity compared to most of their songs. The song is about a dance.

Success

It reached No. 76 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Unlike some of their other singles, especially "Me So Horny," "Do the Bart" had virtually no controversy. The title of the song bore resemblance to another song which was released at the time by Simpsons character Bart Simpson called "Do the Bartman."

Music video

The music video, directed by Tas Salini, starts off with two men with Bart Simpson-style hairdos coming up saying they will "do the bart." The two men then do the dance they call the "Bart" and Fresh Kid Ice and Brother Marquis are shown rapping while women in swimsuits are shown dancing.
