Chicken Noodle Soup is sweeping the nation and, no, I'm not talking about the stuff you buy at the grocery store.  Chicken Noodle Soup is a dance that originated in Harlem, NYC and is making the rounds to a high school dance or wedding near you.

The dance became so popular that Harlem natives DJ Webstar and Young B created a song to go with the moves.  You can view the lyrics here. 

The dance moves are fairly simple, but kids will put their own spin on the moves.  YouTube has a ridiculous amount of Chicken Noodle Dance videos that you can view, but this one is probably the best example. 

Here is a quick Chicken Noodle Dance howto:

1. I Let It Rain - Let your hands trickle down like rain in front of your body.
2. I Clear It Out - Spread both hands to the side as if clearing out the rain.
3. Chicken Noodle Soup - Pump your arms up and down behind your back (kind of like a chicken) and kick out your feet.
4. ...With A Soda On The Side - Reach your arms to the side like you're reaching for a soda.
5. Repeat

You can view the video here for a howto visual.

Don't expect me to be doing this dance.  I'd just look like a chicken running around with my head cut off.
