> Cryptics are fun – but they definitely take a while to learn to do. I taught myself, because my dad loved them – but it took me a couple of years to get good. (Of course, keep in mind that “a couple of years” was based on two or three a month, via _Games_. And now I’m the main test-solver for _Games_. It’s a funny old world, isn’t it?)

At one point in time it was said that “Everybodies Doin It”, and at that time it was a “Brand New Dance.” What was it called?  
Or  
In the 70’s or 80’s it was said that “Everybodies Doin It”, so “Come On Baby” what was it?
