Is the chicken dance offensive?

[muffincakes]

To provide some back-story:

I recently learned that a Polish friend of mine refuses to listen or dance to the chicken dance song because he claims that it is offensive to the Polish, and a derogatory song towards polka in general. Now he learned this from his parents, and they from theirs, but I have been unable to locate anything at all to back this up.

So here's my question, since this is the most international community that I know, have any of you heard this before? And if not, do you know if your parents/grandparents/etc. have? I'm not trying to convince my friend to start dancing or anything, but if this song is actually offensive then I don't wish to listen to it anymore either.

Also, as a side-note, I've already done all the basic searches to learn the origins of the song, but the history books do not always contain the whole truth, so I am mainly interested in personal knowledge, not textbook facts. Thank you all for any light you can shed on this situation.

EDIT: Hadn't noticed, but apparently I double-topic posted...Any way to get this one removed?

I would be more than happy to accept the chicken dance as offensive.

I hate that song

It doesn't actually have lyrics, does it? I fail to see why it's so offensive. If nothing else it just -sounds- retarded because of the quick style it is played in with instruments intended for slower ditties.

If I'm not mistaken, the chicken dance is offensive in Mexico, as it implies that somebody is a coward?
