Begin the dance 32 counts after the big beat kicks in (there?s a 16-count intro before that starting with laughter, one of the band members saying ?Yo, once again it?s the Southside, and we?re gonna smooth it out a little bit? followed by some instrumentation and all the guys singing ?All around the world...? etc.). Don?t dance yet ? you?ll start with the first verse, when the vocalist sings, ?Yo, hear us now....? 
If you have any problems locating the music, John has the CD for sale.
