 (was "Chicken Dance")

And don't try filling a request with the song but with  a radically different approach. I subbed in a band once that got a request for "In The Mood". Everyone knows it's usually requested so people can swing dance. Well, this bunch of idiots played it as a CHA-CHA!!!! They thought they were being cute. But as soon as the humiliating task of playing it was over, some folks came up and requested - - - "In The Mood"! They didn't even recognize it.
