So I have a question about this video (Click here).

The rapper says at 0:57

"Si tú quieres hoy este paso aprender"

"Pues esto me pica más que un alfiler"

"If you want to learn this dance, it pokes me more than a pin" is the translation I got. I don't understand this. Is this a reference to a Spanish saying?

The English version of the song says

"If you want to know how I'm doing this dance"

"I got something in my pants and I know it ain't ants"

Which is a reference to the saying "Ants in your pants" which means "Can't sit still". I think the Spanish lyrics probably also make a reference like this but I can't figure it out.

I'm sorry Hacker, on my computer it comes up in American as'' Squirrels in my pants''.

In England we say '' Ants in my pants''.

However, there is always the option of a ferret up your trousers.. Much more exciting!
