Exciting Friday evening pondering

How many dances are named after things you can eat?

I have three so far.
The watusi (I'm no farmer but its a type of cow)
The macaroni
Hot potato
Chicken dance
Dutty wine
Salsa
The alligator


The macaroni is a dance named in a song, the same song that says "do the watusi" I believe. I don't know what the song is.

There's a line dance named the "Big Apple".

There's the Chicken Dance (I love Chicken)

The "Dutty Wine" (A West Indian Dance)

The SALSA!

I can't come up with any more.

I think that you have either been listening to Patti Smith's "Land", to a Belinda Carlyle song, or (most likely) to Tina Turner's "Land of a 1000 Dances", since it mentions potatoes and watusis in equal number.

You can Do the Alligator, too, according to dearest Tina. I don't know about you, but I'm hankering for an alligator steak after hearing that, so slap 'er on the list (the Alligator, not Tina Turner).

Land of 1000, rather, there is no "A" in the title. Silly me.

Ah, it is Tina Turner I'm thinking of.
