The original video (https://youtu.be/PJxJTSD4imU) gave the title as “Give a Way to Kangaroo” which is also in the original version of the QS Twin Peaks Blue book. A later video has “Give Way to Kangaroos” which was added as a spelling alias. Later publication in the book Couple One Ready changed the name to “Give Way to Kangaroos” which is now the official title.

The instructions for bars 17–20 in the book have the ladies slipping left into the centre first whereas the videos show the men slipping into the centre first. The e-crib follows the videos.
