In my experience/opinion, the "chicken dance" is something Americans just think Germans do because of the chevy chase european vacation movie... The "chicken dance" about as German as the other urban legend maintained by many Americans that "all Germans love david hasselhoff". over the years I've been at perhaps 3-4 dozen volksfests in germany and austria and never once heard/saw the "chicken dance"
SPANISH and Germans share Umm-pah-pah traditions. The Chicken Dance is the unofficial state song of New Mexico. 60% Hispanic, a heavy immigrant German populationin the Rio Grande Valley, 100% of their weddings.
The story goes that the organizers of the Oktoberfest in Tulsa wanted more audience participation. One of the bands performing was from Germany and suggested the Ententanz song. Since they couldn't find duck costumes, they converted a turkey costume into a chicken costume => Chicken dance

That's great! In Germany we call this "Ententanz", which means "duck dance". But chicken is also OK, I guess... ;-)

@@ornitorinco2268 und die denken, dass man in Deutschland zu diesem Lied so tanzt?
It became the chicken dance in Tulsa Oklahoma. There is not a good reason. But that’s what happened…
Sorry Germany ? :-/
LOL that woman on the right is in the show "The Good Place" on ABC.
That's exactly what I thought - one of her early gigs!
Song is Swiss.
No!, Yer getting it confused, With the "Swiss Family Robinson Tree House" - Theme.
We learned it as "la danse des canards" in Québec, distinctly different, sung by Nathalie Simard.
