Why do Cheerleaders counts 5,6,7,8 and not 1,2,3
In: 871
Im going to settle this with a reference to Def Leppard. They pronounce four syllables that sound like counting in a foreign language (oonden gleeden glounten globen ?) then ” its better to burrrrm out, than to fade away”. They were also 100% correct in their count as were the musicians and dancers. IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT SOUNDS OR WORDS YOU USE, IT ONLY MATTERS HOW FAST YOU SAY THEM SO EVERYONE INVOLVED CAN TAKE ACTION AT THE SAME SPEED, such as marching in step, dancing in step, or like def leppard, HITTING MORE COWBELL IN TIME WITH BURNING OUT AND FADING AWAY. ITS ABOUT GETTING A TEMPO IN YOUR HEAD. The actual words or numbers do not matter. Loverboy used a cowbell to count in “working for the weekend” as did saturday night live with the famous blue oyster cult skit (MORE COWBELL) and many bands use a simple closed cymbal sound of a high hat (or, in 1906, a low boy, the other foot cymbal that lost popularity after Gene Krupa threw his away). Laverne and Shirley used a hopscotch rhyme to count in the theme song. ITS ONLY HOW FAST THE COUNTER COUNTS that matters, and that everyone agrees ahead of time on how many ; much jazz just gives “3,4,” and the song begins. Its only about the time between noises.
