The Lawrence Welk Show: Chicken Dance

Back


Myron Floren's Offspring
03:13
An unsettling performance of "The Chicken Dance," performed by dancer and former Mouseketeer Bobby Burgess along with his gawky offspring. Bobby is the son-in-law of the late accordionist Myron Floren, both of whom were long-time performers on "The Lawrence Welk Show." Myron himself provides musical accompaniment after introducing the "performance," which takes place on an eerily barren, dungeon-like stage. This clip has all the classic, premeditated, cornball Welk staginess, minus the talent. Also, everyone has that trademark, desperately forced Welk smile. What fun!

This looks like a spoof to me. Consider the following: Myron doing a Lawrence Welk impersonation, complete with a couple of smirks; the announcement of the Chicken Dance as "the # 1 dance in America"; Bobby retrogressing into his Mickey Mouse Club role; the big fake grins; the uncoordinated dancers, announced as the "kids"; and the poor staging. All of this suggests a hoax on the Lawrence Welk Show, which was quite the opposite.
