&lt;p class='desc'&gt;


The Dancing Baby (aka Baby Cha-Cha) is a short 3D animation of a baby dancing to the intro of &amp;#8220;Hooked On a Feeling.&amp;#8221; 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.
The official site of the dancing baby can be found here. Different versions were created including a &amp;#8216;drunken baby&amp;#8217;, a &amp;#8216;rasta baby&amp;#8217;, &amp;#8216;samurai baby&amp;#8217;, and others, but none were nearly as popular as the original. Since it took off, it has appeared several times in the media and several parodies have been made. It soon became featured as a recurring hallucination on the TV show &#8220;Ally McBeal&#8221;.









Dancing Baby dancing to American Idol

Lately, the popularity of this meme has shown a steady decrease as people start to forget about this old meme.

Tribute sites still remain to this day, such as megababy.&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;
