HAND MOTIONS

"Blame it on the sunshine": both hands in circular motion like an "O" in front of you

"Blame it on the moonlight": both hands move out from the waist, palms facing up

"Blame it on the good time": pull both arms (on both sides) inward (with a pelvic thrust)

"Blame it on the boogie": roll both hands over each other (like in the nursery rhyme song "This Old Man" - the part where it says "This old man came rolling home")
