The music phrases as 72 counts, but the extra 8 counts at the end are just a bonus where you can sing and look cool!
Start after an 8 count intro on the word “let.”
The first time, you will only dance the first 32 counts, then do the last 8 (the look cool part), then start the dance again.
The first 16 counts have a “Dipstick-ish” feel…but the rest is pretty “normal.”
