Generally, tracing the origins of a children’s song is quite difficult but it is not the case with Tooty Ta! The Tooty Ta song was written by Jack Hartmann and it came out in 2015. It is sometimes also known as the “Thumbs up, Elbows Back” song.
It is a classic follow the leader song with gibberish words that will make kids laugh and silly movements that are perfect as a warmup.
