While randomly clicking links in the youtube sidebar in order to hear the rest of that song, I see that they're way ahead in Albania, where this bird-related dance video has 18 million views.

Has anyone in this family even seen a chicken?

That's the bunny hop! Why is a penguin doing the bunny hop? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE

Weird Al did it 9 years ago.

prinado, the Lady Gaga one reminded me of John Zorn with vocals added. But different.

Went to a wedding over the weekend and, at the reception, the DJ did not play the chicken dance. It was delightful.

Saw "rickrolling" and "Pittsburgh", was hoping Mr Sebak would be involved. Sadly, no. ::giggle::

I see that they're way ahead in Albania, where this bird-related dance video yt has 18 million views.

AHAHAHAHHA. That is so great. I love that it's a completely fancy traditional looking wedding, with the exception that the groom is in a penguin suit. It's just so surreal and wonderful.

I fully enjoyed those polka covers. And also this one: Weird Al's NOW That's What I Call Polka!
