<h2>About</h2>
<p>The Dancing Baby (aka Baby Cha-Cha) is a short 3D animation of a baby dancing to the intro of “Hooked On a Feeling.” Often cited as one of the earliest examples of an internet phenomenon, the video became popular circa 1996 via e-mail chains and became world-widely distributed over the internet.</p>
<p>The official site of the dancing baby can be found <a href="http://dancing-baby.net/">here</a>. Different versions were created including a ‘drunken baby’, a ‘rasta baby’, ‘samurai baby’, and others, but none were nearly as popular as the original. Since it took off, it has appeared <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dancing_baby#Appearance_in_mainstream_media">several times</a> in the media and several parodies have been made. It soon became featured as a recurring hallucination on the TV show “Ally McBeal”.</p>
