From Dallas NewsThe dancing frogs once beckoned patrons to the ’80s nightclub Tango at 1827 Greenville. Now that site is a Taco Cabana
Back in the early ’80s, Shannon Wynne contracted artist Bob “Daddy-O” Wade to fabricate six 10-foot frogs, all playing instruments, that would dance mechanically atop his nightclub, Tango. Shannon’s father, Angus Wynne Jr., created Six Flags Over Texas and the sculptures became known as the Six Frogs Over Tango.
Three frogs spent time at Willie Nelson's truck stop on I-35 and the other three went to a Chuy’s restaurant in Nashville.
In June 2014 the three from the truck stop came home.
