The Newtown Business Association asked participants and spectators from the McCaffrey's Newtown Holiday Parade to gather in the middle of Sycamore Street after the parade to perform the dance moves associated with the 1996 Bayside Boys version of the song.

"Based on our participant list and based on all the people we had here I think we came pretty close if not breaking it," Dan Petty of the Newtown Business Association told Patch. "We think we entered the record books today." Evidence from the record attempt, including video recorded by drones, will now be submitted to Guinness World Records for review.
