The Tweets

The Tweets

In 1981 a version of the "Chicken Dance" was released in Britain as an instrumental novelty tune "The Birdie Song" by The Tweets. Adapted (per some accounts) by Mike Rae, an Aberdeen-based bass player, it reached number two in the singles chart in October 1981. In 2000, this version was voted as "the most annoying song of all time" in a poll commissioned for the website dotmusic. Read more on Last.fm
