Rough translation:
Hello I was surfing the web and entered the name "duck dance" and was astonished what was there. For, my father Werner Thomas is the composer of the "Duck Dance" also called "Tchip-Tchip", "Bird dance", "Dance de Canards", "Song of Chicken", etc). Worldwide there are about 140 versions and about 40 million records of it have been sold. This song was composed by my father in the 70s at Davos (Switzerland). My father composed this song on the harmonica. Please direct any further questions to my father, since we have neither a e-Mail nor a Internet address, at Tel: Switzerland 091 743 78 58 or address: Werner Thomas, Via Arch Frizzi 6, 6648 Minusio (Switzerland)
[edit] NY Islanders
I thinks this information might be more appropriate on the Islander page (if it should be included anywhere on Wikipedia at all). Otherwise, we must include every sporting event and other gathering at which the Chicken Dance is played (In the US, it's a lot of places).D-Rock 16:32, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

I just thought I would share with everyone the importance of May 14 which is International Dance Like A Chicken Day
[edit] Bird Dance Lyrics in the UK
In England we often sing "with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and shake your bum" to the tune of this.
- That's a LOT better than the common American version which goes like "if you wanna be a chicken, if you wanna be a duck, you'd better something something quack quack quack" Cheers.
- Haha, I've heard both in the U.S. (except "butt" instead of "bum"). This conversation is cracking me up. --Galaxiaad 05:15, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
