[edit] Chicken Noodle Soup song
The song is characterized by a rudimentary beat accompanied by an air raid siren, and a young girl delivering non-sequiturs like "Let it rain, then clear it out; let it rain, then clear it out . . . Chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side."
[edit] Chicken Noodle Soup dance
The Chicken Noodle Soup is a dance inspired by the hip-hop club hit "Chicken Noodle Soup" perfomed by DJ Webstar, Young B, and The Voice Of Harlem, currently the song has peaked at #45 on the Billboard Hot 100 trajectory and was released in late Summer 2006. Originating in Harlem, the dance has been embraced as a new symbol of the local scene that distinguishes New York from other regions whose urban musical subgenres have captured national attention in recent years, such as Atlanta's Crunk, and Snap, New Orleans' Bounce music, or San Francisco's Hyphy. Awareness of the dance spread like wildfire during the summer of 2006[citation needed] thanks to websites such as YouTube, which hosted numerous videos of people dancing the Chicken Noodle Soup. Blogs that linked to these videos helped turn this dance into an internet phenomenon.[citation needed] The dance features exaggerated shuffling, arm swinging, and a pantomime of the song's lyrics. Detractors have derided the whole Chicken Noodle Soup phenomenon as irritating and corny[citation needed]. Some have even claimed the dance is racist[citation needed], as its motions bear some resemblace to those commonly performed in minstrel shows[citation needed]. The Chicken Noodle Soup is a development of other New York-based street dances like the toe wap and Harlem shake.[citation needed]
