REPEAT
If you want to do this dance to Randy Travis' version of "King Of The Road" from the Traveler soundtrack, there is a very irregular break in the normal rhythm at the 2:00 point which puts you badly off beat. This happens after the 7th repetition of the dance and it only happens once. To make it work you can add more Elvis knees for approximately 16"ish" counts(instrumentals with snaps) at this point and then start again from the beginning with his lyrics through the rest of the song. The extra Elvis knees can be slow, fast, or whatever, be creative.
The original version by Roger Miller does not do this and you will do the dance straight through with no problems. With either version you should start the dance with the lyrics so that it phrases out right.
