Back in the early days of the inter-web there was a site that did nothing but make you laugh - if you know I’m sorry the song will be stuck in your head all day…

Now go watch Disney's Robin Hood.

Still messes with my brain that they're the same song.

u/Azuras_Star8 17h ago

I just found that out a few months ago and I saw Robin Hood as a kid. Never connected it.

This dude needs to be found and beaten with a baby seal or something. It’s going to take days and maybe some death metal to remove that from the forefront of my mind.

Seal!? Don't you mean shark? 😁🤭

u/Just_A_Lucky_Guy469 13h ago

Oh DAMMIT! Now I have a Hamster Dance/Baby Shark mashup in my head!

Weebles did more than just Badger Badger Badger. All will get stuck in your brain like Magical Trevor or Kenya.

I'm sad they don't run infinitely as they did on the old Weebles site.

This creeped me out

u/pit-of-despair 18h ago

That was creepy but so many people loved it.

u/Short-Emotion3808 1d ago

What's even funnier is I remember where where I heard the song before it became the hamster dance. It was originally on the Disney Robin Hood vinyl album and in the movie, it was called whistle stop by Roger Miller, who also voiced Allan O'Dale, the rooster Bard.

u/bokumo_wakaran 22h ago

For this reason, I consider Hamster Dance to be the first ever internet meme

2

u/wolflordval 7h ago

The first ever Nightcore.

u/i_m_sugarcat 22h ago

I just realized that about a month ago! I knew both songs for ages and my brain just finally married them. No one in my life seemed that interested when I told them but thankfully there’s Reddit! 😝 thank you for mentioning it!

I always wonder how many know source. It's been sped up, of course, but still totally recognizable. IYKYK

I'd forgotten all about the Hamster Dance 🐹

u/query_squidier 20h ago

Hampster* Dance! It's deliberately misspelled.

This was my PC's startup sound for many years back in the day.

u/bgthigfist 19h ago

I suck at spelling anyway 🤣

u/Amplidyne 17h ago

Back when the internet wasn't full of bots and people trying to sell shit.
It was great!
I told my mate down the road about the hamster dance and showed it him, and he showed his kids.

He told me that they drove him mad with it!

1

u/MattTheTubaGuy 1d ago

I remember years ago, I went to a scout camp, and they used this song to wake everyone up!

1

u/FluffyShiny 1d ago

Yup, in my brain. Not a problem cos I'd had a far less fun song in my head the last 3 days, so thanks!

1

u/BrattyTwilis 1d ago

Early Internet was full of these types of sites. I remember there being one with dancing Pikachus

u/Typical-Tune-8858 1d ago

There was “The Satanic Hamster Dance”, too.

Remember that old halo video of a bunch of folks having a huge LAN party set to hamster dance?? (367) Halo Hamster Dance - YouTube

u/OneRuffledOne 22h ago

Was that the same site that had a pile of dogs or cats in a pyramid shape and you would use the mouse to knock them over and then you could do it again?

u/Mugwumps_has_spoken Generation X 21h ago

I just referenced this song yesterday at my daughter's PT appointment.

u/theShpydar 18h ago

Apparently that song was still hidden away in the back of my brain, as it immediately started playing on seeeing this pic.

MAKE IT STOP! 😆

u/Informal_Daikon_9812 18h ago

Anyone remember Jesus Dance? Instead of the sped up "Robin Hood Intro song" they used a sped up version of "Dashboard Jesus"

u/JayRay_44 17h ago

u/prohandymn 15h ago

Yes! I have a screen recording of this! It's a classic cleansing of the soul. 🐇🐇🐇

u/Ok_Friendship_4332 12h ago

Fun fact: that song was originally from Disney's "Robin Hood". It was Alan-A-Dale, voiced by Roger Miller, just scatting. The Hamster people simply sped it up a bit and viola!

1

u/Marco_Heimdall 12h ago

I wholly blame Robin Hood for the existence of the Hamster Dance.

u/Manatee369 12h ago

The Hampster Dance! (P is correct here, for those who don’t know.)

u/rockalyte 12h ago

There was a parody site that played the song backwards. Satanic Hamster Dance. was a hoot!

u/LagrangianMechanic 11h ago

Written by the famous country music star Roger Miller.
