Cha Cha Slide poll

good grief (charlie brown)

Always in favour of a slide to the left

the stomping is all pretty good
hand-clapping is fun
but i particularly enjoy "reverse, reverse" because there doesn't seem to be a standard move for it afaict and so no one knows what to do and it's chaos

This is the world's most difficult poll

I want to vote for everything

Charlie Brown or going down low imo

Let's go to work

You thought we were done? Not even close, loser, we've got feet to stomp for hours before you sit back down and finish your wedding cake

As Bjorn Funk, senior in mechanical engineering, said, “It’s a fun dance and gets others to start dancing too.”

voted "reverse reverse" b/c a large portion of any given crowd will interpret it to mean 'reverse twice in a row' w/ only a few interpreting it correctly

Ugh, I want to say ... everybody clap your hands.

Is it butt thing xpost

Voted “cross cross” on instinct

But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane.

ok but there's also an entire cha cha slide album

this is on it

omg

Sadly not the legendary Eric Barrier, but rather some rando with the unfortunate moniker "DJ Eric B", who looks like the Brian Posehn of slidin'

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

This song sucks.

One of the few songs where the Crazy Frog version is both better and more popular:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10HwmvvxlEw

uh define "more popular"

90M vs 154M views at least.

I'm not really sure that captures the use case of the cha cha slide

("the use case of the cha cha slide)

reverse, reverse

Siegbran, how many black weddings have you been to

I don't trust popularity based on page views for modern novelty songs that originated prior to YouTube era

i didn't even know there was a Crazy Frog version, no way is it more popular

was at a roller rink over the weekend and they played this and all the teens skated to the middle to do the dance, but bc its nearly impossible to do on skates they were wiping out & falling on their faces left and right, it was incredibly hilarious

Hahaha

break your leg, break your leg

slide to the left *continues to slide until they hit the side of the rink*

Siegbran, how many black weddings have you been to

― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP)

Three, but admittedly that was thirty years ago in francophone Africa.

But yeah I guess there’s different demographics/generations where these versions are popular because I‘ve definitely encountered the frog’s interpretation at a kids birthday recently.

as the owner of a crazy frog album i also didn't know mr. frog's cover version. i agree w/ neanderthal's comment on its youtube views

ime most people know what the "correct version" is but hardly anyone could tell you the name of the artist without looking it up (including me)

i voted cha cha real smooth but in hindsight I should've gone for take it back now y'all

Voted let’s go to work because everyone loves going to work

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

This is a thing at my roller rink, except some people are actually pretty good at it. I mean, most folks will still just skate around in circles during the song, but some of the better skaters go to the center and go through the dance moves.
