When dancing to "Down Louisiana Way" by George Strait, complete the full dance (steps 1-64) three times (ready to start facing 3:00 wall). The song has a short 32 count verse starting with the (wistful) words "..don't let your eyes get misty now.." Dance through steps 1-32, then start again at the beginning as the song continues "..so-o-o long friend.." (still facing 3:00). Continue dancing steps 1-64 to end of song. Any other choice of music, just dance 1-64 all the time.
