Subject: RE: Dances Known And Unknown
It's amazing how bird dances keep on being recycled...

There's the "Buzzard Lope","Cuttin the Pigeon Wing"; "The "Chicken", and "The Funky Chicken". And I'm sure I'm forgetting some more.

Wasn't there a dance called "The Bird?"

But it appears that the big novelty dance nowadays is "Chicken Noodle Soup" Okay, this might not be a "bird dance" per se, but it has the word "chicken" in it

:o)

"Chicken Noodle Soup" looks like a fun dance to do {and to watch being done}, But I've choosen not to post any links to videos of it-though they're sure are a lot of them-because the hip-hop flavored song that folks are dancing to includes the n word and other language I don't approve of...

But you can find a number of "chicken noodle soup" videos on YouTube if you're so inclined to see how the dance is done...

One thing's for sure-The "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance is big today, but probably it will soon be replaced with another dance craze. And in ten years or less, another bird dance will surface again maybe because we admire the freedom birds have to rise above it all. Or maybe because we admire the physical beauty of birds.

Or maybe just because.
