Okay music heads, I got a couple little projects going...help me out if you feel like it:
I'm trying to compile a set of songs with 'chicken' in them. In the title, in the lyrics, in the band name, whichever.
I've got a pretty comprehensive list going, but if you know a song ain't on the following list, lemme know (or even better, send me the song):
- I have
Detroit Cobras - Shout Bamalama
Steve Goodman - Chicken Cordon Bleus
Dr. Alimantado - Best Dressed Chicken in Town
Felice Brothers - Run Chicken Run, possibly Chicken Wire
Scott H. Biram - Downtown Chicken
John Lee Hooker - Bottle Up and Go

Bob Dylan - Tombstone Blues
Radar Bros. - Chickens

I know that ICP has a bunch of songs that fit but they suck. Same for Jimmie's Chicken Shack. I'm also not interested in most rap, because most rap farging sucks, but if it's good, by all means lemme know.
Also, I'm drumming up a set of songs that would be suitable for children, but which were not necessarily recorded for them. Songs like Louden Wainright III's "Dead Skunk," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UejelYnVI3U) Arlo Guthrie's "Motorcycle Song," (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g266Uwp6ZnI) or the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZThquH5t0ow) Any suggestions would be welcome.
Here's a link to The Magnetic Fields - A Chicken With Its Head Cut Off (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9812778/cf/04_A%20Chicken%20With%20Its%20Head%20Cut%20Off.mp3).
Buckethead has an album called Enter the Chicken and innumerable chicken references throughout his career. Not a lot of lyrics in his shtein though. Here's an example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJ_ngr0yLBw
All I got off the top of my head.
Here's a link (http://www.songmeanings.net/query/?q=chicken&type=lyrics&page=1&start=0&mm=1&pp=20&oid=137438968693&b=Go) that should help you fill out your list a little more.
classic song and it comes complete with a fantastic sting sample for your white ass

diamonds i flaunt it...chickenheads flock i lace em

hungry ass hooligans stay on that piranha shtein

I've seen them a couple times and barely escaped being hit by fried chicken thrown from the stage, but I couldn't find any references to chicken in the tracks I have. I knew there had to be some in their catalog somewhere. Thank you.
Little Feat's Dixie Chicken came to mind right away.
And how about Backdoor Man? ("I eat more chicken than any man's ever seen.") Go with the original Willie Dixon version, not the Doors version.
Both songs came to me immediately as well, and are on my list already. It had not occured to me to get the Willie Dixon version of "Back Door Man" however...great idea.
Bah...sorry. I had "match case" checked on Firefox, so I missed it on your list. I'll keep my thinking cap on.

Yeah they put on a great show. 8-Piece Box is when they throw chicken (as you can see in the video)
I love me some Southern Culture on the Skids. Saw them 15 years ago, great show.
I got the Bees Chicken Payback & Dr. Dog songs. PM me your email addy.
GF's link is money.
How did Springsteen's "Atlantic City" not pop into your head first thing, igy? I mean Christ, he's your boy, and the words "chicken" and "Philly" are featured in the first couplet of the song
yeah i dont know what i was thinking...i guess my mind was on beats
Ms. Peachez - "Fry That Chicken" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGrqW3nx5HM)
Wow, Big Ed just bust out a Ms. Peachez link, lmao :yay
At this point, I think it would be easier to list the Beastie Boys songs that do not have 'chicken' in them.
I know some folks with children who play Kids (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fe4EK4HSPkI) for their kids and they seem to enjoy it.
Don't mind the extremely creepy video.
