Cha Cha Slide
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
The Cha Cha Slide (or CCS) is a native English dance that's been handed down from generation to generation from the days of King Arthur to modern times. After a decline in popularity since the days of Queen Reginald Carrot V, the song was recently re-popularised by American musician DJ Casper known for his astute interpretations of classical dance. The modern Cha Cha Slide is sometimes referred to as the Casper Slide, although purists avoid using this name as it taints the sanctity of this proud and noble dance.

[edit] History of the Cha Cha Slide
The Cha Cha Slide was originally commissioned by King Arthur in the early 5th century to commemorate Arthur's defeat of the Dreaded Army of Lizardmen. The "Crisscross" of the song is symbolic of the sword-slashing method Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table used to defeat most Lizardmen, while the "Slide to the left/Slide to the right" lyric is representative of the strafing maneuvers of the King's Knights. "Cha," of course, means "Lizardmen" in the language they speak, while the repeated chants of "Charlie Brown" commemorate Sir Charles the Brown, who perished in that fateful battle. The rest of the song and dance is believed to be improvised or based on other undocumented factors of the battle that modern day historians have either not yet discovered or have not cared enough about to investigate.
[edit] Height of Popularity
The song and dance rose in popularity and was often performed impromptu by Britons up until 1066 where it was temporarily outlawed during the Battle of Hastings. When the English soldiers defeated the Normans they leapt off any horses they were riding at the time and danced the Cha Cha Slide together. While this is generally considered the point in which the song and dance were made legal again, the law banning the dance was not actually repealed until Queen Elizabeth I took to the throne.
The Queen was noted for performing the Cha Cha Slide at practically all public events she attended, and a few she didn't, although some of the documents discovered noting this have since discovered to be hoaxes.
[edit] Decline in Popularity
When Queen Reginald Carrot V took to the British Throne in 20X6, she decried the dance, stating that anyone caught performing it would be hung from the neck until they were very, very sick indeed. By the time Carrot was suddenly and inexplicably blown up during the last episode of M*A*S*H, the dance had been all but forgotten.
[edit] Rediscovery
Whilst reading through ancient British parchments and old scripts for Drop The Dead Donkey in 1992, DJ Casper discovered old entries pertaining to the Cha Cha Slide. Curious about the dance, Casper spent four years attempting to reconstruct the dance in its original form. In 1996 Casper recorded an early version of the Cha Cha Slide reconstruction on an old VHS cassette and sent it to various Historical researchers in Britain.
They responded, quite understandably, by grunting incoherently and going back to sleep.
Casper spent further years developing and perfecting his reconstruction until in 2003 when he deemed it worthy of being reissued into the public.
