The song serves as a lyrical "how-to" for various 60s fad dances: : Swinging arms up and down while marching.
: Moving arms in front like a swimming motion or sliding hands across the eyes.
: Shifting weight on the balls of the feet with heels moving in and out.
: Recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, Pickett's version added the legendary "cannibal" intro and became a massive crossover hit.
: Shuffling hands on top of each other in a rhythmic pattern.
