The bunny hop is a novelty dance created at Balboa High School in San Francisco in 1952.
[1] The dance has been generally done to Ray Anthony's big band recording of the song with this name.
The song has been re-recorded by others, including musical updates of the style, for example, a salsa version.
In 1979, several men were arrested for public lewdness during the Village Station police raid for dancing in a bunny hop.
[2] Ray Anthony's single release of the "Bunny Hop" featured another novelty dance classic, the "Hokey Pokey" on the B side.
