THE BUNNY HUG. William Jerome (w) -- Harry Von Tilzer (m).
Harry Von Tilzer Music Pub. Co., New York: 1912. 4 pp.
The Bunny hug was a dancing style performed by young people, in the early 20th century. It is thought to have originated in San Francisco, California in the Barbary Coast dance halls along with the Texas Tommy, Turkey Trot and Grizzly Bear.
The Bunny Hug was performed to the music of America's great Ragtime composers. The Bunny Hug, like other "animal" dances, caused a lot of uproar in polite society.
