When we were told to have fun with the 24-foot chicken sculpture in DPL Central's Schlessman Hall (also known as Monument for the 308), the first thing I thought of after "chicken dance flash mob!" was "chicken playlist." I asked my colleague Andrew Wickins to take on this challenge, and you are in for a treat. He even discovered a Johnny Cash song which has become his new favorite! YouTube links provided.
The Chicken in Black - Johnny Cash
The Chicken Dance song (AKA the Bird Song, the Birdie Song, the Chicken Song) - Werner Thomas (instrumental)
Chicken Soup with Rice - Carole King & Maurice Sendak
Crow Black Chicken - Ry Cooder
Set My Chickens Free - Merle Haggard
How Funky Is Your Chicken - The Jackson 5
Chicken - The Cramps
Chicken McNuggets - Goldfinger
Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens - James Brown
A Chicken Ain’t Nothing But A Bird - Cab Calloway
And a bonus selection from Mikel!
Know Your Chicken - Cibo Matto
Want the lyrics? We have those too!

Maybe not in the title; but, in the tasty refrain in:
'Danny's All Star Joint,' by Rickie Lee Jones...."chicken in the pot!"
