TODAY IS DANCE LIKE A CHICKEN DAY
We’ve all seen it, it’s utterly ridiculous and usually performed in a bout of intoxicant-driven lunacy. You tuck your hands into your arm-pits to make ‘wings,’ and then you flap like an idiot in time with some particularly unfortunate music. All that aside, you have complete giggle fits with a bunch of your friends while you behave in a fashion that has the local sanitarium eyeballing you for membership.
What are we talking about? The Chicken Dance of course! National Dance Like a Chicken Day commemorates this dance and its origins and even gives you a chance to learn WHY anyone would do this terrible, terrible thing.
