"Cha Cha Slide" is a song recorded by Chicago-based DJ Casper, which was recorded in 1998 and released in August 2000. Upon release, the song popularized a dance craze and is still popular at weddings, school dances, bar mitzvahs, and other social events. The song contains a reference to Charlie Brown midway through it, referring to a dance move that resembles Charlie Brown's distinctive walk. At the time of the song's release in summer 2000, Peanuts, the comic strip in which Charlie Brown is the main protagonist, had ceased publication due to its creator, Charles M. Schulz, passing away on February 12th of that year.
