abstract	%22Land of a Thousand Dances%22 (or %22Land of 1000 Dances%22) is a song written and first recorded by Chris Kenner in 1963. The song is famous for its %22na na na na na%22 hook, which Cannibal & the Headhunters added in their 1965 version, which reached number 30 on the Billboard chart. The song was covered by Danny & The Memories. The song's best-known version was Wilson Pickett's 1966 recording on his album, which became an R&B #1 and his biggest ever pop hit. Some releases of the song credit Antoine %22Fats%22 Domino as a co-author of the song with Kenner. Domino agreed to record the song in exchange for half of the song's royalties.The %22na na na na na%22 hook happened by accident when Frankie %22Cannibal%22 Garcia, lead singer of Cannibal and the Headhunters, forgot the lyrics. The melody to this section was also created spontaneously, as it is not in Chris Kenner's original track.The original Chris Kenner recording mentions 16 dances: the Pony, the Chicken, the Mashed Potato, the Alligator, the Watusi, the Twist, the Fly, the Jerk, the Tango, the Yo-Yo, the Sweet Pea, the Hand jive, the Slop, the Bop, the Fish, and the Popeye. Kenner's original recording included a brief, gospel-influenced, a capella introduction with the words: %22Children, go where I send you / (Where will you send me?) / I'm gon' send you to that land / the land of a thousand dances.%22 This 18 seconds was left off the single release to facilitate radio airplay, and the phrase %22Land of 1000 Dances%22 never appeared in any subsequent recording.
