Don on Cotton-Eyed Joe Routine:
"Do you remember a few years back there was a pop song called 'Cotton-Eyed Joe' that actually went to Number 1 on the Billboard charts? In the song's video the band members would break into this weird hillbilly line dance routine. I expropriated the song and the line dance routine. Let me tell you without bragging " when I posed to that music and suddenly broke into that line dance, the crowd would go insane. People would actually come to the bodybuilding competition to see me do the Cotton-Eyed Joe routine." Unfortunatly, the judges, who traveled from Grand Prix show to show decided they couldn't take it anymore...
"Basically, in the best of humor, some of the judges approached me " remember most of the physique judges travelled from show to show " they asked me, they begged me to retire the Cotton-Eyed Joe routine. One judge told me if he had to hear that song played one more time at top volume he would have to be put under suicide watch."
