Classic or Dud: Cha Cha Slide

I was at a wedding reception tonight, as since I'm in Chicago, they were legally required to play "Cha Cha Slide."

Yeah, so who's down with Chicago House's version of the "Macarena?"

Do non-Chicago people even know this song?

The video is so fucking classic my brain is melting just thinking about it.

Classic Beyond Classic!

Is this a mid-west thing? It got real big in detroit for awhile.

Yeah, best excercise routine ever turned into a dance song, me thinks.

I do think Daley has to sign this into law eventually. Classic as all hell.

HI DERE, Monday, 17 March 2008 15:14 (eighteen years ago)

They do if they've listened to Radio Disney in the past few years.

My review of the song (from when it came out) is here (toward the bottom):

dan i was to busy being snarky to actually search for something

deej, Monday, 17 March 2008 15:17 (eighteen years ago)

It wasn't that Mississippi Cha Cha Slide bullshit, this was the real mccoy with the BPMs bumped up to about 138.

HI DERE, Monday, 17 March 2008 15:21 (eighteen years ago)

I always wanted Green Velvet to do some creepy remix of this.

Tracer Hand, Monday, 17 March 2008 15:26 (eighteen years ago)

omg yes, it's practically halfway there anyway

HI DERE, Monday, 17 March 2008 15:27 (eighteen years ago)

Jordan, Monday, 17 March 2008 17:27 (eighteen years ago)

The most retarded dance song of all time. Worse than the Macarena. D to the U to the motherfucking D.

"Charlie Brown"??? How the fuck do you "Charlie Brown"??

I always wanted Green Velvet to do some creepy remix of this.

check the A side. Not Green Velvet, but close - an excellent tech house version which strips nearly all of the vocals and all of the original music.

Siegbran, Monday, 17 March 2008 22:34 (eighteen years ago)

ftr this song sucks moose dick

no YOU suck moose dick!
