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.

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.

As a member of a church's chicken dinner festival committee, I thought the patrons and workers alike (all volunteers)would enjoy hearing the Chicken Dance as they were eating/working. I didn't have a copy of this caliber yet, but even the one we had was a hit! I can hardly wait to play this single CD next year, with its alternating vocal and instrumental versions. At one time during the festivities in the dining room, our priest, music director, kids who helped clear and reset tables, and the folks who manned the serving line all danced. What fun!

...at the wedding of John Gastil, a previous reviewer. Having spun heavy funk and disco for an hour, I played this strictly as a request from the wedding party, never having heard it before myself. I was completely taken aback--dismayed to some extent, but the people seemed to _love_ it. So, although this would _never_ end up in my own collection, having spun it at a dance, I have to admit it got the crowd moving!

This song has been pplayed at every wedding in the upper midwest for at least as long as i've been alive. its pretty funny to watch people dance to. i'd recomend getting the orginal version though not the kids version.

When I first bought the Happy Organ's Chickendance I was skeptical as to whether it would be a comparably good follow-up to their underground smash "Big Brown Doberman", well let me tell you, it was. . .and more! This song rocks and when I put it on at my sisters sweet 16 the sweat (dancing sweat, that is)really started to flow. Bravo Happy Organ and caw-caw to the wonderful dance of the chicken!!!!! - Colette Prosper, NJ

My kids love it, what more is there to say?

I have always heard that the dance gets faster and faster as it proceeds. This is all the same tempo all the way through.

It's just as funny as watching the anti-PETA wackos run around and act foolish.This is a great party CD and I recommend it for parties or weddings.
