I found it I found how today's line

dance started in the United States Give

me one more second I think I just about

found it too What does the computer say

that today's line dance started with

cowboys who wanted a dance they can be

comfortable doing themselves without

women Exactly When the cowboys are out

on their horses away from the city's

dance halls and women they line dance So

who knew which is faster the computer or

the books well I think if you're really

good at it the computer is faster Are

you really good at it uh sure I plan it

all the time I'm an expert Okay Diva see

what you can find out on western style

quilt Here you go Uh uh No thanks

Actually I better go check to see if the

hay bales and wagon wheels arrived

Me and my shadow is keyed and ready to

roll Thank you Is everybody ready on the

floor alex Aaron sit up a little

straighter please We're back in three

two and our next video stars a little

girl named Stephanie And

that's right Billy You and Stephanie are

absolutely wonderful in this next clip

Why thank you Alex To be honest I

thought I was pretty good

myself Oops I mean I thought we were

pretty good I shouldn't brag It's okay

to brag a little because you and

Stephanie have a lot to be proud of in

your terrific performance in Me and My

Shadow

Me and Myadow

Surprise here I am

Okay I can do that Wa wiper for me

Oh and my shadow

Oh thank you You're welcome Us all to

Hi Da Oh hi Lindsay You know Dava I was

a little surprised by something you said

earlier in the office What do you mean

well you acted like you were Mr Computer

Genius or something but just yesterday

you told me you never used a computer in

your life So I exaggerated a little bit

Big deal Da you lied to your friends It

is a big deal Okay kids Let's work this

out Can I try to help sure Lindsay we

all know that Dava wasn't quite telling

the truth when he said he was really

good on computers Right Dava right But

sometimes when kids want to impress

their friends they don't tell the truth

Lindsay is it possible that you

pretended you knew something that you

didn't know even just once i guess it's

possible Okay now that we've admitted

that we sometimes exaggerate to impress

our friends let's figure out what we're

going to do to straighten this out Okay

Hi everyone How's it going really well

How about you guys we're in good shape

The interview's all researched and ready

to go Good Now we can all relax until

it's time to join in the achy breaky

line dance You're lucky We're all going

to be stuck in here making this show

That's not fair Megan we did get to be

in the video Don't forget that's true

Oops Look Alex and Aaron are just

sitting there waiting for a quue and cue

them As we mentioned earlier we're going

to be line dancing pretty soon So to get

us in the mood let's go to a hoown and

watch a Virginia reel Hold it Hold it

What's a hoown on what on earth is a

Virginia real a hoown is a really fun

party in a barn with a country band and

lots of dancing and food Oh and a

Virginia reel is an oldfashioned line

dance where people make two lines and

Billy if you watch the next video you'll

get the picture right away All right

What's the song turkey in the straw Why

is the turkey in the straw it's not

really in the straw Why don't you use

your magic powers and make the video

play for us now that makes sense

[Music]

As I was flying on down the road with a

tired team and a heavy load I cracked my

whip and the leader sprung I says "The

day day and the wagon run in

the

turkey Grab your partner take her to the

floor and we're going to dance to turkey

and turkey

[Music]

run ghost and then sees saw and crown

made to

turkey then Mr Catfish coming down the

string say Mr Catfish what does you mean

Mr Catfish by the snout and turn Mr

Catfish all side out Turkey was

wrong Turkey was wrong You would go side

and then see solution

[Music]

Swing your

lady up to the middle

Come back home

[Applause]

Okay Ruby I've thought about it I just

don't feel right knowing that I told my

friends I was good on the computer when

I'm not What can I do to fix it you're

going to have to let Brooke and Ryan

know but I'm sure they will appreciate

your honesty when you do You know Da I

have a feeling that several of the kids

don't know how to use a computer either

Okay I'll go clear this up with him I'm

proud of you Da Thanks Lindsay What's up

next the host introduced Peppermint

Twist We have such great songs today I

agree Definitely some of my favorite Did

you have to practice a lot to learn the

Peppermint twist no Billy and Ruby just

taught us how to do it with their magic

powers But we sure were tired after we

spent the whole afternoon twisting

Coming to you in 5 4 3 2 The twist was a

very popular dance in the 1960s In fact

there were several different hit records

all about different ways to do the twist

But every twist dance involves twisting

your body like this That's the basic

move but you can get a lot fancier like

we did in our video of the peppermint

twist Well they got a new dance and it

goes like this

The name of the dance is a peppermint

twist

Well you like it like this A peppermint

twist

Round and

round Up and

down

And up and

down Round and round and up Up and down

And one 2 3 kick One 2 3

[Music]

Well

[Music]

baby twisters

[Music]

round and down

Round and

round up and down round and round and up

up and down And a one 2 three kick 1 2

3 And you learn to do this The

peppermint

twist And you learn to do this The

peppermint twist

[Music]

You know guys I kind of exaggerated when

I said I was really good on the computer

I've never even used one Don't feel bad

Neither have I My school's getting some

next year and I don't know a thing about

them Would you like me to teach you both

how to use them yes please Me too

Sure How about we have a computer class

after we're done taping great You know

it was a lot easier to admit that I

messed up than I thought it would be

Good Now let's hope learning computers

is easy too Next up is Billy and Ruby

sing and play along But they aren't in

their studio yet I'm sure they'll zap in

on time Let's hope so Cue the host If

you're not up singing and dancing

do every day Billy and Ruby are going to

teach you a new song and dance So let's

join them now in their studio for Billy
