3.0 out of 5 stars About as odd as I could have imagined..., August 9, 2000

This review is from: The Chicken Dance (Single) (Audio CD)

We bought this CD and played it at our wedding, and it satisfied our guests. We wanted the Chicken Dance, and we got it. The CD gets 3 stars--instead of only 2--because it delivers on that simple promise.

But the organ music was too subdued for this song. It's like Herbie Hancock on Prozac, or a whimsical church organist drinking coffee. The Chicken Dance is better performed by a hyped-up polka band, so this version may disappoint. Also, this CD has both an instrumental and vocal version of the Chicken Dance. The vocal version is disorienting and unnecessary. If you must listen to the vocal version, do so in private; do not subject dancers to it.

I have seen and performed the chicken dance at two weddings and had a great time. I was specifically looking for this song and was delighted to find it and only it. The music is great. Now all I need are the instructions on how to do it for a party.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, December 6, 1999

This CD contains only two items: two renditions of the Chicken Dance, one with singing and one without. There are no other items on this CD.

While I am happy with the two versions, I expected that there would be more on a CD than two tunes.
