I read about this man DJ Casper who passed away and they keep talking about his song the Cha Cha Slide. They talk like everyone knows it and dances

to it at parties. Yesterday was the first I ever learned about or heard the song. The reports were saying it was ubiquitous at parties, weddings, etc.

His death made most of the news sites so I'm guessing everyone else knows the song and I somehow missed it.

Responses:

It is objectively as terrible as any other ubiquitous wedding dance songs. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 08:14
Hell, *I* know that one. -- nm - Spawn Aug 9, 07:53
I know it well -- nm - Pippy Quintas Aug 9, 05:48
I’m honestly staring at this in awe. It’s one of those dance songs that I really thought everyone knew. -- nm - MDH Aug 9, 05:47 1
- My first thought was he just took the electric slide and updated it but nope, it's not the same dance. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 06:19
every body clap your hands -- nm - Tim Aug 9, 05:46 7
- You'd get a Pavlovian response from most people under 35 with this. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 06:12 4

  - Yep. It’s this era’s chicken dance. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 9, 07:06
  - Under 35? And apparently everyone I’ve ever worked with at the office. This was on every office party playlist. -- nm - MDH Aug 9, 06:22 1
    - just setting a lower bound. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 06:23
- Ah, of course! Never knew the title. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Aug 9, 06:11 1
  - I knew the title and I knew the song, but I didn't know that title went with that song. :) -- nm - Bari Seldon Aug 9, 06:12
Yup. Anywhere I've DJ'd in the last 10+ years, it always fills the dance floor. -- nm* - Turd Ferguson Aug 9, 05:15
Weddings and sporting events. It's not quite the Macarena but it's not a million miles from it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 05:14 5
- I don't know how I missed it. I don't recognize it at all. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 05:21 4
  - John Mulaney does it on SNL -- (link) - hollywood big shot Aug 9, 06:35 [youtube] 1
    - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 06:45
  - “spent five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at number 83.” so not exactly a smash. Never heard of it either, and the aughts were - mafic Aug 9, 05:37 1
    - Same, I was at a lot of weddings and sports events but missed this one. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 06:20
