National Dance Like A Chicken Day!

Get the Polka Music Started

and 

Dance Like a Chicken!

A dance like a crazy person, because everyone looks crazy when they do the chicken dance. 

The tune was written in the 1950's by Werner Thomas and it was first named the "Duck Dance" since it was used to call ducks and geese. It wasn't until 1963 that it was heard in a restaurant and it took off.
