"The Fist Pump Song" produced by New Jersey native Steve Stylez, calls on guidos and honorary guidos to "pound the ground, stomp that beat" and of course "fist pump."

The catchy dance tune - a clear byproduct of the "Jersey Shore" reality phenomena - demonstrates that you don't necessarily have to smush or be "DTF" to have a good time down at the shore. (Yea, we're talking to you Snooki.)

Check out the video and tell us what you think...
