McIntyre's mini maelstrom, the reality TV star known as Honey Boo Boo, has released sing-songy rap tune.

The song, "Movin' Up," is accompanied by a video that shows the child star, Alana Thompson, boogeying in a recording studio with "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" co-stars Mama June, Sugar Bear and sister Pumpkin. (All of them dancing -- or something like it.)

The lyrics, far from memorable and perhaps as grating as Honey Boo Boo's shrieks, include a refrain that implores listeners to "Do the Honey Boo Boo bop."

Imagine a tune where Barney the purple dinosaur meets "The Wiggles" and Baby Bop tries to rap.

Even so, upon viewing the creation, some may give it a most Southern of compliments and consider it "cute."

Other choice lyrics include Honey Boo Boo belting out lines like "I holler and scream and shout" and "I'm just a small-town girl, living in my princess world."
