"The Salmon Dance" is a Hip Hop/Big Beat song by the English electronic music duo The Chemical Brothers and is the 7th track on their 2007 studio album We Are the Night. It features Fatlip, a Los Angeles-born hip hop musician, and was released as the second single on the 10th of September 2007.[1]

The video, directed by Dom & Nic, features a boy looking at his fish tank, home to Fatlip the piranha, Sammy the salmon, Puffa the beatboxing porcupinefish, a lionfish, seahorses, butterflyfish, angelfish, and tangs.[2].

It features British actor Rory Jennings [3].

The single has reached number ten on the New Zealand RIANZ singles chart, mainly due to downloads and airplay[citation needed]. Its video was also nominated for a MTV Europe Music Award in 2007 by artist Snoop Dogg, when he said ("..And they just dancing like salmon is da shit" -Snoop Dogg) later on the song had no been given a award even with its popularity.
