The motions to this are what make the song. You repeat the song 4 times, each time doing different motions. The motions should go along with the beat of the song - I gave approximate times you should do each motion. 1st Motion: Slap legs (approx. 14 times) 2nd Motion: Slap legs and clap hands alternatly (approx. 8 slaps, 6 claps) 3rd Motion: Slap legs, clap hands, and snap fingers (approx. 6 slaps, 4 claps, 4 snaps) 4th Motion: Slap legs, cross hands and slap legs, slap legs again (regular position), clap hands, snap fingers, clap hands, slap legs (approx. 2 of each motion) If you want to try something harder, try to do the motions, without singing the song!
