COUNT: 32

MUSIC: Blue (Da Ba Dee) (Original Ice Pop 12" Mix) by Eiffel 65-128 bpm (Intro: Start Dance On Vocals "I'm Blue", Approx. 60 Seconds From Beginning) (CD: Single)

It would be prudent to fast forward the track 55 seconds, and wind the music down after 4 minutes.
Just before the 8-Count tag, it feels like you should hold for (2) counts then go into the Tag -
Don't! The music will kick back in after 2 repetitions.

Note: The beat feels unusual and off beat, but when danced to the music, it feels a lot clearer
