Choreographer's notes: ===================== Before we all have a heart attack at the sight of this dance, I’ll do the standard line "It’s not as hard as it looks!!!" Really!! To try and make it a tad easier I named all of the sections (also good cues) to coincide with parts of the song and a majority of the steps are repeated (eg: the OH BOYS/GIRLS section). This is a fantastic new dance track by the Cheeky Girls; unfortunately the phrasing is all over the place, hence this monstrous dance sheet. The sequence (in sections) is as follows: Round 1 OH BOYS/GIRLS, VERSE, TOUCH YA BUTT!!, CHORUS, CHEEKY CHEEKY Round 2 OH BOYS/GIRLS, VERSE, TOUCH YA BUTT!!, CHORUS, CHEEKY CHEEKY Round 3 VERSE, TOUCH YA BUTT!!, TAG, CHORUS, CHORUS Dance finishes on Left coaster step - look to front, and slap Right butt with Right hand. Good luck, we all need to exercise or brains every now and then, what a great opportunity to get those brain juices a flowin’. I would love to hear your comments if you have attempted my dance - Tim Gauci. Transcribed: David Powell, 5th January, 2003. http://triode.net.au/~dragon/ldance
