"when i was a kid, funky didn't have nothin' to do with music... i mean, funky wAS JUST PLAIN funky! Funky... was grampa's long drawers, with the nicotine stains in the BACK! ...that was funky!" --Louie Armstrong
His legs kinda reminded me of camels. And also I think that it might not really have to do with the animals movements, just maybe that camels were popular at the time, like in Rockabilly music there is the Ubangi Stomp and that was probably because Safari Movies were popular. Maybe Camel Walk came out ater Lawrence of Arabia somethin like that.
@MadAboutHatter streetswing {dot} com has a little history about it. check it out if you're curious. supposedly it started on vaudeville, with flappers and college students and had a revival in the 50s and 60s.

I'm kinda scared to ask what the "nicotine stains" in the back were...never mind, I really don't wanna know 🤣🤣
...also I don't believe Louie Armstrong ever said that but I've been wrong about a lot things in life 🤷🏿

So the Camel Walk isnt a 60's dance its a 40's dance?
You got it. Even before that too!
It's now a church dance b/c that's how people 'shout' now, lol.
Right. James Brown Moonwalked forward and called it the Camel Walk.
