Note: Ami is a hula motion rotating the hips 360 degrees.

Back, right, front, left, back, etc.... or reverse directions.

A very provocative motion in this sexual song.

Call it intuition but I know they wanna see

Wanna see, wanna see, oh, the curiosity

How far they can take it with this Wicked Wahine
