    My video for this achievement.

    First of all, it's not that hard if you practice this song and learn to memorize it! For the first move, where you swing your arms around and then lift your leg and arm (this move returns quite a lot in this song), I had to exaggerate this move by swinging my arms more then the dancer, and lifting my leg higher. Try it around a little bit. When I did it the normal way, I would fail this move 75% of the time. I still got an Ok or GOOD quite a lot with this move, but hey, it's better then losing the multiplier!

    Be aware that the game has a little video lag with the dancing that I do.

    As you can see, it registers all my moves a little later, therefore you have to dance a little ahead of the dancers on screen, then it will register your moves at the same time as the dancers, therefore giving perfects.

    Any questions, feel free to ask down here or send me a PM.

    AwooEh, that move ain't so bad. Swing both your arms and hips a LOT to the quick beat, and throw your arm and leg up just a bit early. Also don't point your arm at too high an angle, a bit below 45 degrees is fine. I was getting good on it most of the time, with some rare perfects.

    An easy way to hit the "killer, diller, chiller thriller" is to sing the first two words normally, then sing the last two with a really shaky voice (vibrato!). The way this game detects pitch is that it will say you hit (part of) a word if you at any point during the duration of that "note" touched on the pitch, even for just a split second. So if you're unsure of the exact pitch of a specific word, just sing really shaky so you may stumble over the right pitch for just a moment and have it register. That tip goes for the entire game, of course. Hope that explanation made sense.

    For the move at 4:03 and 5:08 that Silence mentioned, the trick is in the leaning. While swinging your arms left and right, you slowly lean to the right and then back to the left. That's it really, very easy.

    MattiasAndersonThat move is so incredible stupid, just like the rest of the game.

    Here are my advice!

    When doing the stupid move with lifting your leg and the other arm up. DON´T do what tinus is doing! If you look at the dancers you see that they have their hands on the side and doing the move in their way. When I did that and not lifting the lower leg up too high I even managed to get some perfects.

    The move at 4:03 and 5:08! Awoo is spot on! And then on the 5:08 there is this side step and waving hand. When I got the achievement was the only time I got all 4 of them. I always missed were tinus is missing in the video. I think I did that move a little bit earlier than the dancers that time.

    The one with the sidestep and the hands up! You need to do what tinus is doing and not the dancers. Do a two step and not one step.

    And when I got the achievement I finally got the 3 in a row were you lift your leg up and the other hand. The 3rd one is so hard to nail but to nail it you have to do that move a bit earlier than the previous two and be a bit quicker.

    5-star cutoff for this one is somewhere between 175,000 and 178,000. I ended up getting 80/99 % on this and scoring 182,500; the fifth star filled in a few moves before the end of the song.
