As a kid growing up in the 80s and 90s in NorCal, I would absolutely freak out whenever Hanks would do that dance. Always loved it.

fun fact...this inspired D Lo Browns walk in WWF

I was little and this is weird to say but I would look forward to him doing it because I found it kind of creepy lol. The way his neck moved

I hated those 49er teams and even this guy and his dance at the time but he was always making good plays. Now looking back at the glory days of the nfl this guy was one hell of a player and original as hell dance. Somebody needs to pay this man some respect and do that dance now but idk if theyll be able to pull it off like he did. What a classic dance, this is one of the best of all time.Nobody has anything on this.

I was just a little kid but I remember my Dad telling me Mertin Hanks did the chicken walk because he was watching sesame street with his son and big bird did the chicken dance. I normally don't like show boating but it's cool to hear Mertin did this stupid dance as an inside joke for his son.

The Original June-Bug Dance 🔥

Merton has said that this dance is actually him emulating his kids favourite tv character, Bert from Sesame Street

Close but wrong. He's being GROVER from sesame street. This is how grover runs and he used to chase his sister around being grover.
