DO THE FUNKY CHICKEN

INTRO - FEEL THE BEAT
You may have heard of THE FUNKY CHICKEN - the craziest dance ever. Now it is possible for you to learn this dance in the privacy of your own home. With these careful instructions, you should be able to master this fine art within days. Look cool and relax, concentrating on the thumping beat of the bass drum. Tapping toes or nodding the head helps. Beginners are advised to count from 1 to 4. Do not move lips.


BASIC CHICKEN - CHICKEN WINGS AND LEGSWHOLE CHICKEN
Stand with feet slightly apart. Both hands are tucked under the armpits to make wings. Flap down on every beat, and back up in time for the next. Practice for ten minutes.
Kick one foot out and back a little on 1, placing it back on 2. The other foor is kicked out on 3, to be back on 4. Combine the two basic moves. After a while, you should be able to do this without much thought.


ADVANCED MOVES - YELLOW CHICKEN AND CRAZY CHICKEN
Both arms are held up across the face. Wiggle knees as if they are made of rubber.
Imagine you are a crazy chicken. Scratch the floor while making clucking sounds.
