Cotton-eyed Joe

The Q plays "Cotton Eye Joe" by Rednex. Start with Side Straddle Hops (SSH) to the music when the singing begins. When the banjo solo starts, squat low, then raise and kick your leg to the left, squat low again, and kick your leg to the right. Alternate legs. When the music changes and the woman sings, switch to merkins. Switch back to Side Straddle Hops when the man sings again. Rinse and repeat: Man singing: SSH / Banjo solo: CEJ / Woman singing: Merkins
