Sure, I remember the Chicken song, the mock summer song, which was created by gang of the television show Spitting Image which used grotesque puppets to satirise the famous people of the time, including Maggie Thatcher, Phil Collins, Kenneth Branagh, the Royal Family, Roy Hattersley, and so many more. No one famous was safe. I'd love to see it return.
It was really cool to know all of the lyrics when I was school, I used to write them out from memory for my friends at school. You can watch the Chicken Song 'pop video' on YouTube.
But here are the lyrics anyway:
The Chicken Song:
It's the time of year now that spring is in the air
When those two wet gits, with their girly curley hair
Make another song, for moronic holidays
that nause-ate-ates in a million different ways
From the shores of Spain to the coast of southern France
No matter where you hide you just can't escape this dance
Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a Jumbojet, and then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green, then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet, and pretend your name is Keith. (Hi, I'm Keith)
Skin yourself alive, learn to speak arapahoe
Climb inside a dog, and behead an eskimo
Eat a Renault 4, wear salami in your ears
Casserole your gran, disembowel yourself with spears
The disco is migrating, the sound is loud and grating
It's truly nauseating - let's do the dance again..
Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a Jumbojet, and then bury all your clothes
Yes you'll hear this song, in the holiday discos
And there's no escape in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song if you holidayed in Mars
Skin yourself alive, learn to speak arapahoe
Climb inside a dog, and behead an eskimo
Now you've heard it once your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song you'll be humming it for weeks
Hold a chicken in the air, stick a deck-chair up your nose
Buy a Jumbjet, and then bury all your clothes
Etc Etc Etc... Ad infiniteum
