Not to be confused with Paul Dixon record-setting chicken dance in the Sixties sometime when two thousand people did it at once.  With wings like these, it would have been perfect.

I'm not sure if the Record Chicken Dance really happened but I am positive he was the first to host the TV marriage of two rubber chickens.  Maybe that's when the Chicken Dance happened.

It's really not Summertime without singing frogs, lots of them.  Like country music, they do it best around Nashville.

Oy, thinking about "Waltzing Matilda," are you, mate?

Mate:  I was thinking about my tortured love life

Well, that's always cool too, isn't it.

Whatever scared the moose this much probably isn't far behind it.




New York, US

More than 1,000 protesters gathered outside Trump Tower in Manhattan as the US president made his first trip home since his inauguration. People chanted ‘shame’ at the rally, which included a march against white supremacy and Donald Trump’s lacklustre response to the violence in Charlottesville at the weekend.
