- “Well You Can Tell By The Way I Walk……..”
Classic 70’s movie making in which the now legendary Chico Chicken, struts his stuff in cockle doodletastic fashion. Crowds flocked to see it.
There is a sad end when Chico ends up as a KFC Family Bucket for his main protagonist, David Niven, (playing his last major screen role) who cavorts around with a Wagon Wheel on his head.
With music by the Bee Gees including the classic ditty “Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha Layin’ Tonight, Layin’ Tonight,” SNC became a box office smash.
Here’s what the critics said,
“You’ll believe a chicken can dance,” The Delaware Doubter.
“Chico Chicken has been plucked from obscurity to international superstardom” The New York Times
“The most realistic depiction of chickens dancing to disco music I have ever seen!” The Houston Chronicle.
You’ve got to use some of these lines in the next celebrity Fryers roast…
Will do
You always blow my addled mind with your imagery and general creativity!
Thanks very much friends and family worry about me……….
Ha! Shake your tail feather GFB. Gotta love that 70s Coppertone tan.
It is all natural
OH! You were SO close, but you didn’t quite say it. This movie sparked a whole new craze: The Chicken Dance.
Ashamed to say but I was a leading exponent of chicken dance in my early youth. YEE HAW!
You are so randomly creative!! Love it!
Nonsense at any price Susie.
Yeah, with regards to the soundtrack, I liked “Ha, Ha, Ha, Ha Layin’ Tonight, Layin’ Tonight,” but, “More than a Chicken” and “How Deep is Your Stuffing” are probably my favs. 😉
Brilliant! Barry and robin are in the studio remastering the album!
Not just Chico, it relaunched the BeeGees on an adoring public.
I believe Maurice Gibb received the Frank Purdue lifetime achievement award for “Chickening Out In Public”…
Poor old Maurice……
I think you’re confused, Guap. I believe it was Sir Robin who ran away…
It’s just your fried chicken
You’re giving me fries
that’s all I got, because it’s Saturday Night. And I’ve had about a Fifth of Beethoven.
More! I want more!
Funny, I always thought the chicken was singing, “Well, you can tell by the way I squawk.” Must listen more carefully next time.
Thanks for the fun.
You’re welcome. Best wishes
That’s some funky chicken!

Most kind of you – thanks very much!
I’m having flashbacks to Chico’s ancestor dancing on Ernie Kovacs’ show! Now *that* was one Funky Chicken.
Never heard of Ernie – just off to Google him.
Have you seen the cover of the February issue of National Geographic? I was wondering if you did the artwork for it. It looks just like your handiwork.
Off to take a peak Bongo.
