Dancing Demo by the Choreographer, Ben Murphy
The steps are simple, but it takes a bit of practice to get them up to the speed of the music. Remember that you can adjust the Playback speed by clicking the gear icon in the lower right of a YouTube video. There is a pattern to recognize that will help you: step-step-step-touch. This pattern is in each half of the rumba box and the grapevines, which are in fact a “grapevine with a touch.”
Shaboozey, Boozey, Chibueze
Shaboozey was born Collins Obinna Chibueze on May 9, 1995 in Woodbridge, Virginia. His parents are both Igbo Nigerians, and Chibueze is an Igbo word meaning “God is king.” Shaboozey’s stage name originated from his high school football coach’s not-so-good pronunciation of what should sound something like “chee-BWAY-zay.” His father was a farmer in Nigeria and attended college in Texas, where he developed a loved for Western (cowboy) attire and country music. His father, along with hip-hop music videos on 106 & Park, gave Shaboozey the inspiration to pursue a music melding of hip-hop and country genres.

Lyrics to “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey [Explicit]
[Verse 1]Lyrics from YouTube video description
My baby want a Birkin, she's been tellin' me all night long
Gasoline and groceries, the list goes on and on
This 9 to 5 ain't workin', why the hell do I work so hard?
I can't worry 'bout my problems, I can't take 'em when I'm gone (Uh)
[Pre-Chorus]
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
Tell 'em "Bring another round", we need plenty more
Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dance floor
Oh my, good Lord
[Chorus]
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey
They know me and Jack Daniel's got a history
Therе's a party downtown, near 5th Street
Everybody at the bar gеttin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
[Verse 2]
I've been Boozey since I left, I ain't changin' for a check
Tell my ma', I ain't forget (Oh, Lord, uh)
Woke up drunk at 10 a.m., we gon' do this shit again
Tell your girl to bring a friend (Oh, Lord)
[Pre-Chorus]
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
Tell 'em "Bring another round", we need plenty more
Two steppin' on the table, she don't need a dance floor
Oh my, good Lord
[Chorus]
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey (A double shot of whiskey)
They know me and Jack Daniel's got a history (We go way back)
There's a party downtown, near 5th Street
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy (Woo)
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy (At the bar gettin' tipsy)
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
[Bridge]
One, here comes the two, to the three, to the four
When it's last call and they kick us out the door
It's gettin' kind of late but the ladies want some more
Oh my, good Lord (Tell 'em drinks on me)
[Chorus]
Someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey (A double shot of whiskey)
They know me and Jack Daniel's got a history (Way back)
There's a party downtown, near 5th Street (Come on)
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy (Woo-ooh)
Can someone pour me up a double shot of whiskey (A double shot of whiskey)
They know me and Jack Daniel's got a history (It's Jack D)
At the bottom of a bottle gon' miss me (Baby, don't miss me)
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy (At the bar gettin' tipsy)
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
Everybody at the bar gettin' tipsy
[Outro]
That's fuckin' messed up, bro, they kicked me out the bar
