Wait, didn't the Internet phenomenon precede the Ally McBeal appearance? - Branddobbe 06:35, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)
Unless Blue Swede reissued Hooked on a Feeling after the introduction in Ally McBeal there is no way they could have incorporated the baby into a video. The group broke up long before the television series. A citation is needed. Otherwise the allegation should be removed.
The article tells us when it was created and using what software, but doesn't state by whom. Do we know? If so, can this be added, hopefully with more info about the origins and creation of the animation? DWaterson 23:44, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
The reference to dennis franz during celebrity deathmatch...didn't that stem from an event that occured during the oscars? that the dancing baby and Dennis Franz danced together....
What does "Somehow, Satan Got Behind Me" have to do with anything in the references section? I visited the link and there wasn't even much there. I can see it being in the section above, where it discusses it, but the reference link itself provides no additional information on the topic.
Throughout the article (including my own edits), capitalization is used to reference the subject matter, but the capitalization of the article's title only reflects Wikipedia's style of capitalizing the first word of an article, suggesting that the term is a descriptive phrase rather than a proper noun. I think some stylistic consistency is in order; should all references to "Dancing Baby" be changed to "dancing baby" (or vice versa)? Should the article redirect to "Dancing Baby", instead of the other way around as it is now? B7T ( talk) 16:51, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Someone with the time should remove the unnecessary repetitions of several facts throughout the article; this detracts from its readability and is non-encyclopedic.
There are references to "animation" and particularly to "dance moves". It would be appropriate to describe these "moves" in the article. David Spector (talk) 02:45, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
I disagree sincerely. The dance "moves" references are trying to reference the original "cha-cha" motion data that was used for the original dancing baby animation, but ALSO different character animations using different character 'MODELS' (as in the references under video game "appearances").
While the dancing baby animation that was so widely used in media and television was clearly the original source file with baby model and "motion" (moves). "Animation" is more typically used for the final animation (and I think the article's use of these terms is clear when read in context). The rendered "animation" were typically of the original dancing baby file complete with baby model.

The link to the youtube video now leads to a stalin video, not the baby video. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B15C:5845:553C:EC74:1B78:98E6 ( talk) 20:49, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Dancing baby. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

Rob Sheridan's role in the popularization of the meme should be noted, assuming enough of what he mentions in this Patreon post and shows in his footage playlist can be verified as genuine (seems very unlikely to be faked to me). Unsure of what sources people would prefer for verifying old footage and news articles like this, but I'm sure they're out there if he was able to find them himself after all these years (Internet Archive, maybe).
