Don't worry. We didn't get it all the first time either. The architects of the Thon 2001 Line Dance pulled out some obscure references that stumped even the intrepid Collegian staff. After consulting some in-the-know Thonners, we've compiled an annotated interpretation of the line dance. The full lyrics are below. Our footnotes follow.

Come on let's dance, dance
Reach within (1), find the cure
Kids, kids
The kids are who we're dancin' for
Right! (2)
Subway series (3)
Subway diet (4)
Chad got pregnant
What a riot (5)
Crikey that was close! (6)
Ritenour, wait an hour (7)
Parking ticket (8), Verizon picket (9)
My cell phone's blowin' up (10)
Surviving on Temptation Island (11)
Dude, where's my girlfriend? (12)
As one, we stand together
Why? To conquer cancer
Hey! A little bit louder
For the kids!
Within reach
Almost there
Whoa! Livin' on a prayer (13)
Thon two double-oh one
We are! - Penn State!
Hey you guys! (14)
Whasssssup? (15)
Scuba Steve says (16)
Sigesacky sigesacky, hoy hoy hoy! (17)
Hercules, Hercules (18)
How you doin? (19)
Whoa! (20) D'oh! (21)
Hey Jeff, pump up the volume
Moore, Moore, Larry Moore (22)
Men's gymnasts, Icers too
National champs, so proud of you (23)
Crispin brothers' game is on (24)
Replay, replay, Jumbotron (25)
We believe! We believe in 43! (26)
Wilson volleyball, man's best friend (27)
Hoops and denim, latest trend (28)
Got mullets? (29)
Things that make you go hmm. (30)
U-G-L-Y. You ugly, big ugly. (31)
M'm m'm good. (32)
As if, Shaa! (33)
Dude. Sweet. Dude! Sweet! (34)
Ditdoolioo ditdoolioo (33)
I see you baby
Shakin' that can, shakin' that can (35)
Courage, wisdom, honesty, strength (36)
Fourty-eight, on your feet (37)
No sitting, no sleep
A child's life: priceless (38)
As one, we stand together
Why? To conquer cancer
Hey! A little bit louder
For the kids!
Saving lives.
Hershey cares. (39)
Whoa! Livin' on a prayer
Thon two double-o one
We are! - Penn State! (40)
We believe! We believe it's within reach!
