REPEAT
Fun variations for the last 8 counts
1st Time: Default move
2nd: Do default move while yelling "you're not ready for this yet boy!" so the people in the next room can hear you! (it's in the lyrics!)
3rd: Do counts 1-4 then shimmy "shaking head to the feet"
4th: Default move
5th: They sing "Murderer, blood upon your shoulders". But that's not very nice. So do the default move and yell "whoa" when they do on count 8 and drag it through the next 4 counts
6th: Take 4 steps on counts 1, 3, 5, 7 and make the best muscle poses you can while they're singing "walk like a champion, talk like a champion"
7th: Default move
8th: Default move
9th: Make the turn and bend your arms up and do an upper body "shake" (shaking quickly)
10th: Do the same as above, but the music slows down so you'll do an increasingly slower shake
11th: Default move
12th: Default move and sing the song out "whoa, oh, a ghost someday!"
Written for my two beautiful grandsons, because it's one of Asher's favorite songs to sing, and it's named after his new baby brother, Ryder!
