can you dig it

A phrase used in the song for the movie "Shaft" that was then used for a McDonald's commercial which had Shaq (famous basketball player) in it. As of now, this phrase has been incorporated into Shaq's short but annoying list of phrases such as "Meow" and "Kobe didn't rape that girl".
