The dance is definitely similar to tunnel mania, but the song in question was "Venus Flytrap" (not mousetrap). He even sang the song for me (he apologizes for his recovering from covid voice, but it's fine.) Venus Flytrap Formation: single file circle facing in same direction counter clockwise Tunes: song of the same name Set up: 2 couples with arches on opposite sides of circle, everyone going under the aches verse 1 I’m flying south, so south Down to the Carolinas On vacation to see what I can see verse 2 The sky is blue, so blue There’s a sweet smell in the air Oh nectar, sweet like a honey bee chorus But it's a Venus Fly Trap Don’t be tempted, stay on track A Venus Fly Trap Watch out, or it goes snap! All stand in a circle. Choose two people to make an arch with both hands and turn so one is outside the circle and the other is inside the circle. When the song starts, sing along, turn to the left, and move in a ring under the arch. The arch is the Venus Fly Trap, so watch out...... On the word SNAP the arch comes down and whoever is caught goes to the center of the circle. Whenever there are two people in the center they can join to make another arch and become a new Venus Fly Trap. The more you play the more Venus Fly Traps you’ll get, until everyone gets caught.
