Please note: If you want to do this dance to Randy Travis' version of "King of the road" from the |
Traveller" 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 approx. 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. |
