Well, I'm glad some of you are now sharing in my pain
I've heard the Chicken Dance countless times before (even at a wedding in Ireland), but it's never stuck in my head like this. It is really bad. The only thing that was worse was when I had the B part of a jig that I was learning at a music workshop stuck in my head for weeks. Just the B part. Which was rather repetitive to begin with. Over and over and over again. I won't name the jig because I'm afraid I'll get that next.

Anyone else here think the Chicken Dance would sound good in a set with Planxty George Brabazon and Sailor's Hornpipe?

For me the most persistant "sticker" is the Pink Panther theme...

BTW, did you know that if you regularly get songs stuck in your head it was probably because there was plenty of empty space for them to fill?

The Chicken Dance is the most requested individual piece of recorded music in our library system. We have fifteen copies of it and it is wedding time in Ontario, at times we have put a five day limit on those copies, the demand is so high.

Well!!!
First off - Cincinnati HOLDS the record for the LARGEST, Kazoo playing Chicken Dance, I'll have you know!!! (During Oktoberfest - beer does strange things to people). Weird Al was the "conductor"!
Second - I tend to avoid receptions mainly because of:
Chicken Dance
Electric Slide
Aicky Breaky Heart
Macharena
and the absolute WORST of all:
YMCA!!!

I think more people ought to take up the accordion...they'd appreciate these songs a little more. There's nothing like strapping on a 25 lb. instrument and squeezing and pulling and trying to play a tiny keyboard with one hand and a bunch of little buttons with the other. It'll surely throw your back out!

- Tell us something.: I play whistles. I sell whistles. This seems just a BIT excessive to the cause. A sentence or two is WAY less than 100 characters.
Ah, I was just going to suggest an Accordian duel. One on Chicken Dance and the other on Macarena!OutOfBreath wrote:What do you call a thousand accordians at the bottom of Loch Ness?
A good start...
