《running man》(又名《 Hungry Caterpillar》)最初是一種非洲舞蹈，是一種流行的街頭舞蹈，起源於1986年末至1987年初，由珍妮特·傑克遜(Janet Jackson)在她的熱門歌曲《節奏之國》(Rhythm Nation)的視頻中表演，隨後在節奏之國世界巡演和各種現場表演中表演。1978年，這首歌首次在柏林費拉庫提(Fela Kuti)的一場名為「交叉盤問」(Cross - Examination)的音樂會中演出，表演者是他的一名伴舞/前妻。此外，它是由MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, Milli Vanilli和Vanilla Ice在他們的現場音樂會表演和音樂視頻中表演的，但在2000年重新流行起來。它也被用於一些形式的墨爾本shuffle dance風格。它由一個跳躍或滑動的步驟組成，以這種方式在速度上模擬跑步者。
「running man」在2007年獲得名人關注，布蘭妮·斯皮爾斯在她的M + M巡迴演唱會期間向她致敬：2007年HOB巡迴演唱會的音樂會和斯嘉麗·詹森在接受Seventeen採訪時表示她的舞蹈「我做得很棒奔跑者。」
2008年，猶他聖徒樂隊重新發行了《Something Good》。這段以1989年為背景的視頻滑稽地暗示，「奔跑的男人」熱潮始於威爾斯的加的夫。它的特點是許多人跳running man，並以舞蹈的「權利」在脅迫下簽署給MC Hammer結束。
The Running Man (aka The Hungry Caterpillar), originally an African dance, is a street and fad dance that originated between late 1986–early 1987 and was performed notably by Janet Jackson in the video of her hit "Rhythm Nation" and subsequently on the Rhythm Nation World Tour and various live performances. It was first performed in a Fela Kuti concert called "Cross Examination" by one of his back-up dancers/ex-wife in Berlin in 1978.[1] Additionally, it was performed by MC Hammer, Bobby Brown, Milli Vanilli, and Vanilla Ice during their live concert shows and music videos, but achieved renewed popularity in the 2000s. It is also used in some forms of the Melbourne Shuffle dance style. It consists of a hopping or sliding step done in such a way at speed to simulate a runner.
The Running Man achieved celebrity focus in 2007 with Britney Spears doing an homage to it during her M+M's: Concerts From The HOB Tour 2007[2] and Scarlett Johansson stating of her dancing in an interview with Seventeen that, "I do a great Running Man."[3]
2008 saw the re-release of "Something Good" by the Utah Saints. The video, set in 1989, comically suggests that the Running Man craze started in Cardiff, Wales. It features many people dancing the Running Man and ends with the "rights" to the dance being signed over to MC Hammer under duress.
