About

The Drunk Dance (Japanese: へべれけだんす, Hebereke Dance) refers to a series of hand-drawn animated video in Nico Nico Douga (NND) that various characters are dancing with a Japanese cover version of "Dschinghis Khan" (eng. Genghis Khan)^[1] by Finnish rock band The Leningrad Cowboys.^[2]

Origin

The Japanese-singing version of Dschinghis Khan was included as a bonus track in the Japanese version of The Leningrad Cowboys's 5th studio album "Mongolian Barbeque" released in 1997 (shown below, left).^[3] Meanwhile, the trigger of this fad was an hand-drawn animated video posted to NND on October 3rd, 2008 (shown below, right)^[4], which was created by a user Voltaren Suppo (ボルタレンサポ). The character parforming the "drunk dance" along with the song in this video is Suika Ibuki, a "Hard Drinker" character from Touhou Project series.
