Hampton the Hampster is the fictional Canadian novelty-dance act spun out of Deidre LaCarte’s pioneering Hampster Dance website. The musical project was developed with Toronto production team The Boomtang Boys, whose 2000 single The Hampsterdance Song became a Canadian chart-topper before expanding into albums and follow-up singles.
