I've heard of the Chicken Dance and chicken fights, but ...

'Chicken Dance' at Australian Nightclub Led to Violence

Blame it on the "chicken dance."

Violence erupted at a nightclub in Australia after a man started doing the "chicken dance" and bouncers kicked him and his friends out, the Herald Sun is reporting.

The man and his friends all needed medical attention after six bouncers allegedly dragged them into a corridor and assaulted them, according to the Herald Sun.

One of the bouncers was sentenced Tuesday to four-months in jail after pleading guilty to affray and assaulting one of the men involved in the incident.

The Chicken Dance almost caused me and one of my good friends to get into a fight once.

He insisted it should be called "The Duck Dance." I told him if the oompah band playing Oktoberfest called it "The Chicken Dance," then who is he to say they're wrong? He kept insisting it was "The Duck Dance." I kept mocking him for that stance.

 

Somebody told me it's actually called "The Duck Dance" in Germany, but this was after a major amount of malt beverage had already been consumed by both parties at an Oktoberfest, so who's to say which of us was right?

 

Weird. I always have known it as the Feathered Fowl Dance.

And I believe it is customary to assault practioners of said dance in dark alleys in Australia, in case you are into that sort of thing.
