Learn the THON 2018 Line Dance

The THON 2018 line dance became an immediate crowd favorite when the Dancer Relations captains first took the stage early on Friday evening. The popular tradition brings together a mashup of music, dance moves and specially-written lyrics with references to events both local and national from the past year.

Don’t get the references? They’re explained here.

Throughout the weekend the line dance will be performed numerous times and dancers — along with everyone else in attendance — quickly have the moves and lyrics down pat.

Watch the line dance from beginning to end and learn it for yourself. The full lyrics are below the video.

Intro
THON ‘18, let’s hear you roar / From the stands to the floor
46, we are strong / Dancing all weekend long
Every org, club, and team / Inspires endless dreams
For the families, for the kids / Show the world what Penn State did

Verse 1
College GameDay hits Old Main / Nittany Lion hall of fame
Go Fiesta, win out west / Hockey, they’re Big Ten’s best
Climb with us, new rock wall / Working out is free for all
Zagsters make debut on campus / Goodbye Angel, hello Canvas
PSU lights Rockefeller / Alumni rally, save the Skeller
First Happy Valley Jam / No Free Dunkin’, what a scam!
Zena — to the stars / Three class gifts, reaching far
Endowment to communications / We are! Across the nation

Chorus
Boom! Stomp! Break the thunder / Dancing for tomorrow’s wonder
FTK, why we fight / Every dream shining bright
Cubs today, future lions / Impact change with Four Diamonds
Move forward, go explore / Make a difference, find a cure

Verse 2
Mother nature, no reprieve / Uniting efforts to relieve
One love, Vegas strong / Donation lines miles long
Athletes kneel or choose to stand / Women march hand in hand
Voices give us guidance / Time’s up now, break the silence
Watch eclipse — wait! — glasses on / Prince engaged across the pond
Bitcoin make it rain / Phelps and shark, stay in your lane
Touchdown, celebrate / If only Browns could relate
Eagles fly, Pens win cup / Trust the process, buckle up

Chorus
Boom! Stomp! Break the thunder / Dancing for tomorrow’s wonder
FTK, why we fight / Every dream shining bright
Cubs today, future lions / Impact change with Four Diamonds
Move forward, go explore / Make a difference, find a cure

Verse 3
Hey Alexa, what’s the sitch? / iPhone faces texting glitch
Fidget spinners all the craze / Vine has seen better days
Will and Grace bring back their drama / Quick, jump! The floor is lava
Sesame Street, new friend / Wonder Woman will defend
Best picture gets confused / Oscars scream, fake news
Tom Petty falling free / Classic rock legacy
Unsigned Chance steals the show / Despacito, take it slow
Cardi B makes money moves / Ooh, look what you made me do

DANCE BREAK

Chorus
Boom! Stomp! Break the thunder / Dancing for tomorrow’s wonder
FTK, why we fight / Every dream shining bright
Cubs today, future lions / Impact change with Four Diamonds
Move forward, go explore / Make a difference, find a cure

Verse 4
Defy limits, BJC / All together, fearlessly
Cans retire, Dash is here / Hundred days, far and near
Thank you Darcy, Jeff arrives / Make a page on DonorDrive
One Day shatters expectations / Families, our motivation
Courage, for the sea / Look within for honesty
Wisdom paves new horizon / Strength in numbers, live Four Diamonds
Looking through our telescope / In the stars we find hope
Journey further to uncover / Tomorrow’s wonder we discover
