Stepping to the New Bird Flu Beat

Over on White Animal blog today I read about a new DJ dance phenomenon from the Ivory Coast: the bird flu krump. Some DJs put down a bird flu beat and dancers beat their arms to simulate a dying chicken. Go over to Emerson’s site to see a video, partnered up with a Jamaican bird flu jam… Or you can download that song here and match it up with the animated gif I’ve created to put the bird joy into the spots the bird flu might infect…

Listen to the BBC wisdom:

“It’s like a chicken with Parkinson’s disease trying to dance to hip-hop,” said one onlooker.

Welcome to the latest craze in Ivory Coast’s ever-inventive night life: the bird flu dance.

The deadly avian disease was discovered in Ivory Coast last week, and within days DJ Lewis had come up with the bird flu dance.

“I created the dance to bring happiness to the hearts of Africans, and to chase away fear, the fear of eating chicken” he told the BBC.

“If we kill all our chickens and poultry, our cousins in the village will become poor.

“So I created the bird flu dance to put joy back into our hearts.”

    […] EPIDEMIC: M.I.A. unleashes “Bird Flu” video, mp3 No relation to the other bird flu. Closely related to the other-other bird flu (mp3 still up over here). Sure to spawn more webternerd message board threads arguing about her support of the LTTE. Unconfirmed reports that Switch is behind the beat, which means anyone who says they don’t like it risks having their hipster credit card revoked. Luckily for us, this shit is unstoppable: even our four year old is bouncing off the walls. HIGHLIGHTS: “It’s all about the watermelon shirt in the video.” “when i get fat imma pop me out some leaders” Whaaa! Why doesn’t this sound like Timberland? “Some Chicken Noodle Soup ought to clear that up.” DOWNLOAD: M.I.A., “Bird Flu” (mp3) (MySpace rip via Discobelle) 02/06/2007 10:52:18 by On the Download | Comments [0] | Trackback  […]
