Hamster Dance Song

The Hampster Dance [sic] or Hampsterdance is an Internet humor fad, originally a simple Geocities page featuring rows of animated hamsters dancing in various ways to a sped up sample from the song “Whistle Stop” by Roger Miller.

The original Hampsterdance inspired the song “Irritating Hamster” by the artist DJ Mavica, and later “Cognoscenti Vs. Intelligentsia” by the Cuban Boys, the latter gaining much notoriety in the United Kingdom in 1999 (reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart).

In Canada it was also released as a single and was declared worst or cheesiest video of the year by MuchMusic in the one-hour special Fromage 2001.

In Australia “The Hampsterdance Song” was also released in 2001, credited to Hampton The Hampster. The song reached #5 on the ARIAnet singles chart, and spun off follow up releases and videos, such as “Thank God I’m A Country Boy” (a cover of the John Denver song, reaching #12) and “Hampster Party” (reaching #44). It was also released in New Zealand at the same time, with similar results.

“The Hampsterdance Song”, as of 2005, is still being aired on Radio Disney in the United States.
