Step R to side, step L to side (small steps); step R in, step L home (wt L)
&8
Jerk head quickly R-L like you're working a kink out of your neck; HINT: lean onto L (you don't have to do the same thing every time; try a shoulder hitch or roll for variety) *Restart here during the 2nd repetition at [9]
 
[9-16] ROCKING CHAIR 2X

(Hands over ears--your head hurts) Rock forward R, recover weight to L, rock back R, recover weight to L

Okay, that's the beginner version with one restart and one easy tag, so have fun and ignore the rest of this step sheet. All rights reserved, Lisa McCammon, dancinsfun@gmail.com, www.peterlisamcc.com, September 2015.

MWA-HA-HA
 
Optional 36-count Tag. Substituting this Tag will add slightly to the difficulty, but it's still do-able for most dancers.
1&2&3&4
Keeping left foot in place and knees locked, chug left ½ stepping R-L-R-L-R-L-R ending at [3], weight on R.
 
After the chug turn, this very easy Wobble-esque 32-count sequence goes with the "jump to the rhythm" lyrics, and is mostly just little jumps and bounces. Remember you're a zombie, and your "bounces" will be spastic

&5, 6-7-8
Small jump fwd to right diagonal stepping R, touch L home, bounce 3X (wt stays R)
