TAG: During the 9th wall (with the words “bang, slap, there goes my trap”), replace the last 8 counts of the dance with:
1 Push right hip to right side slapping right butt with right hand
2 Hitch and slap left knee with the right hand
3 Step L to left side and click fingers of both hands
4 Clap

Place hands on hips and do three anticlockwise hip rolls slowing to a stop with the music (or try two hip rolls and a body roll!). Restart the dance when the music recommences and keep dancing at the same pace to the end of the song.

*During the second half of the chorus on the words "me and you" replace the claps with thumbs pointing towards yourself on "me" and fingers pointing forwards on "you".
