I have a very important YMCA (the song) question

[Bernadine]

When you do the C, which of your arms is on top?  I've always, for 32 years now, crossed my left over on top.  At the Orioles game yesterday, I noticed people crossing the right arm over on top.  And now that I actually think about it, that's probably the right way to do it.  How have I gotten it wrong all this time?!?

[Deleted]

Well if you're "spelling" it out for other people to read, it should be right over left.

[mcsangel2]

Right, or else the C will be backwards for anyone who's looking at you.

Ha, yes, you've been doing it wrong all these years.

My credentials are years and years of watching the Yankees ground crew do the YMCA during the 7th inning stretch and also every wedding and jr high dance I've ever been, too.

I've been to weddings and dances too and I NEVER NOTICED I WAS DOING IT WRONG!  Lol.

Imbibing too much? I was hitting the bottle pretty hard at my jr high dances, but I still knew it was the right arm. Hahahahaha!

[BaliHai]

Right, but because I'm very right-handed... the correctness of the C never would have occurred to me, lol.

I voted right, because this. 

But out I should have vote SS, because I always RUN away from the dance floor when this song comes on!

The only song I ever spell things during is Hang On Sloopy

::hangs head:: I've been INCORRECT all these years.

[wowhead]

I blame me doing it wrong on being left handed. I do everything backward.

I do the right arm on top - both arms end up on the left side of my body. Like this:

[ZoeHart]

Right.
And damn you, I just now this song is going to be stuck in my head all day now.

That is not how I do the M. Who knew there were so different moves?

[Bernadine]

Ok, I'm also annoyed now at both of the pics in this thread. All the letters are above the head, right? Or am I just completely fucking up the whole thing?
