The Tune That Makes You Cluck
Ever wondered what groovy tune gets everyone flapping? It’s none other than The Chicken Dance song! Back in the 1950s, a chap named Werner Thomas penned this catchy number, though it didn’t really hit the scene in the United States until the 1970s. Initially, it sported the Swedish moniker “Der Ententanz,” meaning “The Duck Dance,” and was actually conceived as a boozy singalong for Oktoberfest. Later on, it snagged a new title, “Vogeltanz” – “The Bird Dance” – before finally landing in the U.S. and transforming into “The Chicken Dance,” complete with its iconic accompanying moves!
