Let us know your favourite chicken songs! My personal favourite chicken song is “Chicken” by Jeffrey Frederick. A sad tale of chicken thievery gone wrong and subsequent buckshot in ass – Dave

I enjoyed the new Chick Talk segment. Let’s hope Noise Machine does not go crazy and become David and Lezah’s nemesis, The Yolker. My favourite song with a reference to chickens in it is from Oklahoma:
“Chicks and ducks and geese better scurry
When I take you out in the surrey
When I take you out in the surrey with the fringe on top”
But mostly because I like to parody it in my head as:
“Thugs and drunks and creeps better scurry
When I take the Skytrain to Surrey
When I take the Skytrain to Surrey from the Main Street stop.”
My favourite song with the actual word “chicken” in it is the kids’ camp song (not the Irish pub song) version of “The Rooster Song” about the amazing procreative powers of an itinerant rooster.
“We had a chicken, no eggs would it lay.
My wife said, “Honey, we’re losing money,
And that ain’t funny.” No eggs would it lay.
One day a rooster came in our yard
And caught that chicken right off its guard.
It’s laying eggs now, just like it used to
Ever since that rooster came in our yard.”
It goes on in hilarious (to a kid) fashion to say what else that virile Rooster was able to accomplish.
We had some milk cows…They’re making eggnog
We had a gum tree…It’s giving Chicklets
We had a garden…It’s growing eggplant
BTW, the Irish pub song version sadly perpetuates the myth of gay rooster conversion therapy.
❤️ the Frank Bigfoot stuff!!!! You should do it!
I agree! Read “Frank Bigfoot”? I’m all in!
Also can’t wait for “Sparks”! Coming out in February 2018? Perfect for grandson’s 11th birthday…! Of course, he’ll have to share it with me!
Chick Talk is a great segment; Lezah is a perfect expert/correspondent who can keep us all informed of Noisy’s escapades.
And, by the way, sometimes people get their money for fancy houses from their fancy inheritances. I know a few of those.
PS Thanks for the shout-out, guys! 🙂
‘Frank Bigfoot: PI’ would be awesome!
David, you missed a real gimme after all those laying egg puns and Ian said he’d quit.
Well, that was over easy!
