Chase That Chicken


Here's another song from the as yet (at this time ) unreleased album "Atomic Weasel Ball". I did this just so Cynthia could have a little video documenting her first chicken flock...but I had the song already, so it seemed like a natural fit. More loopery, as was evident on much of AWB. I would like to do a more elaborate video someday, with special effects, people in chicken costumes dancing around and me in salty overalls and a straw hat, but this'll have to do for now. Chickens, by the way, have got to be some of the dumbest animals nature ever provided, but therein lies some of their charm, I guess. And the fresh eggs are marvelous!!

CHASE THAT CHICKEN

You say you're lookin' for something to do
I've got something just for you
Tired of livin' out on the farm
You say that the country has lost it's charm
Here's a thing that'll change your mind
Leave that old ennui behind
You might think it's a little strange
But hear me out till I've had my say

Chase That Chicken

Feathers flyin' everywhere
Chickens flyin' through the air
Try it once and you will see
Get a taste for fine poultry
Chasing chickens gives a boost
Better than the books of Marcel Proust
You might even surprise yourself
And get like Gonzo and The Swedish Chef

Chase That Chicken

Chase that chicken all around
Chase it till you get downtown
Chase the one that you like best
Buy that one a party dress
Take that chicken to a movie show
No one else is gonna have to know
Chickens, yeah, they're gonna blow your mind
And you'll have to shift your paradigm

Chase That Chicken
