Music video
A music video was produced that includes both "Shake Your Pom Pom" and "Ching-a-Ling", another Missy Elliott single. The video premiered on MTV's 'TRL' and BET's '106 & Park' on February 4, 2008. It was directed by Dave Meyers. It is the first ever 3D music video and guest-stars the Japanese hip hop dance group U-Min, known especially for their slow motion dancing and popping.[http://www.missy-elliott.com/index.php Missy Elliott & Dave Meyers Create History].

The "Ching-a-Ling" portion of the music video is set primarily with a white backdrop featuring Elliott and various background dancers, including U-Min. Other shots are interspersed throughout the video which relate to the lyrics, such as Elliott swinging on a rope swing in an autumn setting, and playing a 'Dance Dance Revolution'-style game which uses the letters of Ching-A-Ling instead of arrows.
The "Shake Your Pom Pom" portion of the music video is set in a house party, with Elliott and others dancing before ending with Elliott and others blowing noisemakers at the camera.
Live performances
"Shake Ya Pom Pom" has only been performed live once and that was during the second season of 'America's Best Dance Crew' during Week 7: Missy Elliott Challenge episode, in which the remaining four dance crews paid tribute to Elliott's videos by dancing to her songs while incorporating the innovative choreography as seen in her videos.
