23 Reasons Why You Should Dance Like A Chicken! – For Dance Like A Chicken Day!

Apparently, it’s Dance Like A Chicken Day! You know the one we’re talking about: tuck your hands into your armpits, pretend they’re wings, and flap about in a fit of lunacy, preferably to a beat — although having rhythm is by no means a requirement!

Originally inspired by the song “Der Ententanz” (Google it, you’ll know it when you hear it), released in the  1950s in Switzerland, few people would know the bizarre cultural impact it would have on the world. Whether you’re having a great day, or a bad day, or just need something to smile about, try to make it a chicken-dance kind of day today!
