Choreographer's note: This is another one of those songs that just
makes me want to dance!!! Like the end of the song, there's some big
drum beats at the start (10 in all). Feel free to have a bit of fun
with these...stomp, walk fwd in time, whatever.... Also... a big thank
you to "MY FRIEND, SIMON" for letting me have free rein with 8 beats
from "LARGER THAN LIFE" (the last 8 beats of the dance ... which was
the second 8 of his classic dance) Keep smiling. :) Cathryn
