Well, that, and maybe throwing in a few subliminal “Don’t Drink and Drive” messages. If cheerleaders are going to do all this in just under three minutes, they can’t exactly rely on some extended version of “Vogue” to power their routines.

It goes way beyond Kid 606’s wildest wet dreams and takes you somewhere you’ve never been before: 200 PERCENT PURE ADRENALINE! OL’ CURLY
