Here I am with another question.  I learn so much from these threads.

What are some easy, but good, novelty, or gimmick contras.  To elaborate, I mean contras that have unusual moves, or contras that use basic moves in unusual ways.

Maybe Ovals, Wholeset Promenades, Old-Timey square dance moves?
Two of my favorites are "Hot Buttered Rolls" and "Roll Over Johannes"
