An animation I put together of the Funky Chicken by Rufus Thomas.
A truly unique personality, who called himself "The World's Oldest Teenager", Thomas' career spanned more than 70 years.
From the 1940s onward, he personified Memphis music; and could always be depended upon for some good, silly, and/or outrageous fun with his soul dance tunes.
This fun song was calling for some fun with animation!

Thanks Karin, this was by far the hardest video I've attempted ... co-ordinating the timing on all of the animation was a bear lol!
I feel like I should say it was a chicken but somehow that terminology just won't fly :-)
