The "Stop Remix!" is widely available on CD Single. When dancing to this mix of the song the music will lose its beat on the syncopated rocks forward and back, at the end of Wall 6 (around 2:05). You will be facing the back. Complete Wall 6, and then dance the 16 Count "STOP!" tag. Finish the tag with the weight on your left leg ready to start Wall 7. Then continue the dance as normal. The tag is easily identifiable in the music, so there is no need to worry about counting walls. You know the tag is coming when the music loses it's beat. When dancing to any other standard phrased music, miss out the tag. Also note the optional ending to this mix of the music
