Chicken Banana
A deliberately nonsensical phrase from a viral children's song and dance meme, often repeated as an all-purpose joke or burst of excitement.
“The song came on and the kids immediately started chanting chicken banana.”
Chicken banana is repeated for its silly rhythm and unexpected combination of words rather than for a fixed dictionary meaning. It commonly appears in children's videos, dance clips, remixes, and intentionally repetitive meme content.
The phrase spread through short-form videos, children's music, dance clips, and meme remixes. Because many reposts and versions circulate without clear attribution, it is better understood as a viral nonsense chant than as a phrase with one universally agreed origin story.
