The origins of Chuck Berry’s famous duck walk

I’d be interested in knowing where he got the idea. I did it myself for a short time after seeing the character Evil Eye Fleagle in the 1959 movie “Li'l Abner.” Maybe they got the idea from Chuck.
See it at about 1:04 in this link.
(I was surprised to see that Donna Douglas and Valerie Harper were in that movie.)
Later, I did it for several years as an electrician checking traction motors in pits under diesel locomotives. There was only about 30” clearance. Girls used to do a squat while dancing and I would match them. When they got as low as they could go and stood up, I’d go even lower.
