Attitude: since the lyrics tell in part S3 of the first verse S3 that the village in which the singer lives is so boring that he even knows every pigeon by name – and then tell about a change of scenery – the first time you dance S4, in count 26, you make a gesture of chasing pigeons: knee bends and arm gestures.
