" Chicken Noodle Soup " is a song by producer DJ Webstar from his debut album Webstar Presents: Caught in the Web (2006). It features rappers Young B. and The Voice of Harlem. The song also has an associated dance.
Song background
The song is characterized by a low bass/pounding club beat accompanied by an air raid siren, and a young girl (Young B.) who performs most of the song, including the verses, and whom delivers non sequiturs such as the chorus ("Let it rain, now clear it out...let it rain, now clear it out" and "chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup, chicken noodle soup with a soda on the side"). Dj Webstar and Voice of harlem had short ad libs in the song.
Accompanying dance
"Chicken Noodle Soup" also has an accompanying dance. Originating in Harlem, the dance has been embraced as a new symbol of the local scene that distinguishes New York from other regions whose urban musical subgenres have captured national attention in recent years.
Awareness of the dance spread during 2006 thanks to websites such as YouTube, which hosted numerous videos of people dancing the "Chicken Noodle Soup" dance. Blogs that linked to these videos helped turn this dance into an internet phenomenon.
The basic dance features exaggerated shuffling, arm swinging, and a pantomime of the song's lyrics. Detractors have derided the whole "Chicken Noodle Soup" phenomenon as irritating and corny. Some have even claimed the dance is racist, as its motions bear some resemblance to those commonly performed in minstrel shows. The Chicken Noodle Soup is a development from other New York-based street dances like the popular "Toe Wop" and the "Harlem shake".
On the December 16 , 2006 episode of Saturday Night Live , Justin Timberlake performed the dance in drag, accompanied by Kenan Thompson (also in drag).
The dance has also inspired many new dancers to express themselves in way such that it is commonly performed in teen clubs, parties and high school affairs in New York. Additionally, some suggest this dance phenomenon has evolved to mimic movements similar to those done in voguing.
