The "Chicken Dance", also known and recorded as Der Ententanz, Tchip Tchip, Vogerltanz, the Bird Song, the Chicken Song, the Birdie Song, the Chickie Boogie, Bird Dance, Danse des Canards, the Duck Dance, El Baile de los Pajaritos, O Baile dos Passarinhos, the Goose Squabble, Il Ballo del Qua Qua, Check Out the Chicken, or Dance Little Bird, is an oom-pah song; its associated fad dance has become familiar throughout the Western world. The song was composed by accordion player Werner Thomas from Davos, Switzerland, in the 1950s.

The Chicken Dance is a well-known drinking and dancing song at American Oktoberfest events. It is also a popular dance at weddings, particularly in whose culture includes polka music. Over 140 versions have been recorded worldwide, including some that were released by Walt Disney Records, together making an estimated 40,000,000 records or more pressed.

Composer credits and publishing rights

[edit]

The original name of the song was "Der Ententanz" (The Duck Dance), composed by the Swiss accordionist Werner Thomas in 1957.[1] He played it in restaurants and hotels from the 1950s through the 1960s.

During one of Thomas' performances, the Belgian music producer Louis van Rymenant heard the song. Van Rymenant had some lyrics created and in 1970 released it to the public through his publishing company Intervox Music (later co-publishing with his other company Eurovox Music) without much success. It first became a world-wide hit from 1980 through 1982, and was recorded in many countries.

On some recorded releases of the music Werner Thomas is listed as the sole composer, while on others other composers are listed, e.g., as "Thomas/Rendall/Hoes." The name Rendall refers to Van Rymenant, who was listed as co-author under the pen name of Terry Rendall. The name Hoes refers to the Dutch singer/producer Johnny Hoes, who re-arranged the song for the Electronicas recording (which was released on Hoes' own record label, Telstar Records).

Eurovox Music now manages the publishing rights worldwide, except for the US (September Music), UK (Valentine Music) and the Netherlands (Benelux Music), sub-publishers.

Description of the dance

The origin of the dance moves set to the music is not known.

The piece is often notated in cut time and the key of C major. It begins with repeated dominant chords before moving into the main theme. The secondary theme features a contrasting rhythm. The two themes alternate. In some versions tempo shifts are introduced to confuse and amuse the dancers, and the final repetition of the main theme is often played as one continuous accelerando.[2]

The dance step has five discrete moves. The first four moves are done in place and are repeated throughout each verse:

  1. The dancer lifts both hands into the air and opens and closes them as if operating a hand puppet (simulating a chicken's vocalizations) four times, once on each beat;
  2. The dancer tucks their hands into their armpits and flaps them like a chicken four times, once on each beat;
  3. The dancer wiggles their shoulders and/or hips (tail feathers) while descending downward for two beats;
  4. The dancer claps four times.

The fifth move persists throughout the refrain and involves the dancer and a partner.

  1. The pair may lock arms, facing opposite directions, and spin. They may switch arms and directions (and sometimes partners) halfway through the refrain.
  2. The pair may "swing out," by holding hands, leaning back, and rotating in place, first clockwise and then counterclockwise.
  3. If performed in a circle dance or square dance formation, the entire group of participants may simply rotate the circle in one direction, then shift direction halfway through the refrain, or they may perform an allemande at the command of a caller.

The performance of one or more dancers in bird costumes leading a crowd in the dance is quite common. A 1981 video recording of the Tweets performing the song before a live television audience in the UK shows all of the "musicians" in large, mascot-style bird costumes, miming to the recording, while a group of British teens perform the dance in a line behind them. Since then, many state fairs, Oktoberfests, German culture festivals, and even weddings feature at least one dancer in a bird costume. The live performances by Bob Kames throughout the upper Midwest during the 1980s and 1990s almost always featured bird-costumed dance leaders.

He commented in a 1995 interview, "This stupid little thing, it's infectious. It has only two chords, it doesn't even change for the bridge. It implants the melody in people's minds—it just sticks in there. That's gotta be the secret ... It just keeps on going. People come up to me at jobs and tell me how happy it makes them. You get a song like this once in a lifetime."[6] Kames became known as "The Chicken Dance King" and performed the song live at hundreds of festivals with fellow musicians like Lawrence Welk and Frankie Yankovic, as well as his own children, Bob Jr. and Barbara Kames.[6]
  • In 1982, the polka-themed cover band "The Emeralds", from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, released their version on K-Tel records.

The album went double-platinum in Canada, and gold in Australia.[8][9] The song also contributed to the success of multiple gold albums for the Emeralds in 1983 and 1984.
  • In 1984, the song was translated to Brazilian Portuguese by Edgard Poças, from children's music group Turma do Balão Mágico, and was included in the Brazilian soundtrack of Mexican TV series Chispita.

By the early , the tune had been recorded in over 140 versions and sold approximately 40 million records globally, while also appearing in commercials, films, and sports events, cementing its status as a lighthearted cultural staple despite occasional restrictions at festivals to limit repetitions.

Origins and Composition

Invention and Early Development

The melody of the Chicken Dance was composed in the 1950s by Werner Thomas, a Swiss accordionist based in , , as an instrumental piece for his band. Thomas drew inspiration from observing ducks on a frozen pond and the awkward limb movements of skiers, crafting a simple, upbeat tune suited for accordion performance in alpine settings. This composition reflected influences from Swiss folk music traditions, where the serves as a staple instrument for lively, participatory tunes at local gatherings and tourist venues. The piece debuted publicly in during a performance by and his band at a in , marking its initial release as an accordion instrumental. Originally titled "Der Ententanz" (The Duck Dance), it was performed to entertain guests at restaurants and holiday resorts in the Davos region, quickly becoming a staple in Thomas's repertoire for its engaging, danceable rhythm. Thomas copyrighted the tune in 1969. In its early iterations, the accompanying dance emphasized visual of duck behaviors, including flapping arms to simulate wings and a waddling posture, intended to evoke s in line with the title.

Composer Credits and Publishing Rights

The melody of the Chicken Dance, originally titled "Der Ententanz," is credited to Swiss accordionist Werner Thomas, who composed it in the 1950s and performed it with accompaniment during his restaurant and resort engagements starting in 1963. In 1970, Belgian accordionist and producer Louis van Rijmenant (also spelled van Rymenant) acquired the rights to the tune after hearing Thomas perform it, added lyrics under the pseudonym Terry Rendall, and released a version through his company Intervox Music, which marked the song's initial international push despite limited early success. Subsequent releases often credit Thomas as the sole composer for the music and Rendall for the lyrics, clarifying van Rijmenant's role as promoter and lyricist rather than original composer, with no major legal disputes documented over these attributions. Publishing rights for the song have been managed by Eurovox Music since the 1980s, handling worldwide administration except in specific regions: the United States (September Music Corp.), the United Kingdom (Valentine Music Group Ltd.), and the Netherlands (Benelux Music). In the U.S., New York publisher Stanley Mills acquired the rights in the early 1980s, facilitating its breakthrough there under titles like "Dance Little Bird," and as of 2023, licensing is administered by Adaken Music Holding LLC on behalf of Cloud 9 Holland Music Publishing.

Description

Dance Steps

The Chicken Dance consists of a repetitive sequence of five core movements that mimic a chicken's actions, performed in with the music's . Participants begin by forming a beak with their fingers and thumbs pressed together, then opening and closing their hands four times to simulate pecking. Next, they tuck their hands into their armpits to create wings and flap their elbows up and down four times. This is followed by placing hands behind the back or on hips to represent tail feathers, while wiggling the hips and bending the knees four times in a downward motion. The fourth movement involves clapping the hands four times in front of the body, typically while straightening up from the previous wiggle. Finally, during the musical bridge, dancers spin either individually with arms extended like an or by linking arms with a partner to rotate together, often turning eight steps in one direction before switching. Each of the first four movements is executed over four musical beats, with the full sequence repeated four times before transitioning to the spinning phase; this pattern repeats throughout the song, with the gradually accelerating in later sections to heighten . The musical cues provide clear four-beat phrasing to guide the timing, ensuring participants stay in . In group performances, a lead dancer often initiates the movements to coordinate the crowd, sometimes wearing a to visually cue the steps and encourage participation.

Common variations in group settings include forming circles to facilitate synchronized execution and easier partner linking for the spinning segment, adapting the dance for larger crowds at events like weddings or gatherings.
