Should the Chicken Dance Still Be Played at Weddings?

What is it about the Chicken Dance that put it in a position to be played at millions of weddings? This silly song with an even sillier dance has inserted itself into one of the most important day of so many couple's lives.

I'm not really a fan of the Chicken Dance, but some are. There are always a bunch of people who jump up to dance - often people who don't dance any other songs will dance to the Chicken Dance.

Should the Chicken Dance Still Be Played at Weddings? Should it ever have been?

Yes, it's a lot of fun!

Tipi says:

You can have a wedding WITHOUT the chicken dance?!!!

Lady_Gotrocks says:

Yup, Going to be played at my Dec 10 , 2011 wedding.

GypsyPirate says:

Absolutely fun!!

rms says:

My son didn't have the chicken dance at his wedding and I kinda missed it so I guess I have to say I find it fun. :)

Gordon_Hamilton says:

I've never heard it called the chicken dance before - it was "The Birdie Song" by The Tweets here in 1981. To be honest, it is not really my taste in music but at least it is music, compared to the modern day, computerised drivel! :)

TheWhistler says:

It makes people laugh!

jptanabe says:

Well yes it's totally silly but it's still fun!

ravenko says:

The chicken dance is a fun dance and where better to have fun then a wedding

No!!!!!!!!!!!!

KathyT says:

I notice that it seems to have taken the reins from the old "Alley Cat" that used to be at all the weddings. Maybe I'm just getting grumpy! :)

spirituality says:

I have only seen the chicken dance on video and think it's absolutely silly. I suppose that's the fun of it, but frankly I can continue without witnessing it live easily.

WindyWinters says:

My mom enjoys it but I think it's too corny. My daughter didn't have it at her wedding. Thank, goodness.

KennyCasanova says:

I'm on the "No" team on this one. I HATE the chicken dance. It's too cheesy.

kab says:

No!!! Way too much Aunt Josie arm fat flapping!

    Oh my the Chicken Dance will now be going through my mind all day. I'm pleased to add my vote to this serious social controversy...well done!

    I have to say that I am not a fan of the dance. I also have to confess that I HAVE danced the silly thing. When I used to sing at a fair in Maine, the guy who came on after me did an entertaining kids' show and the dance was part of it, so I helped by participating. I felt like an idiot though...

    Flapping arm fat or not, I admit to being a fan of the chicken dance.

    I'm not the best dancer and I agree with you...I'm not a fan of the chicken dance.
