If you want to watch the video of the original Spitting Image Chicken Song, you’re in the right place.
The original Spitting Image Chicken Song video from 1986 has been purged from the internet it seems (probably because it offends the Wokerati nowadays), but we’ve found it. It’s not searchable on YouTube anymore, only feeble non-original variants exist.
But you’re looking for the original with the Aerodago and Frogaire shots at the beginning, right?
Look no more, here it is:

The Chicken Song is a song that was originally performed by the British satirical puppet show Spitting Image in 1986. The song was written by Rob Grant and Doug Naylor (who also wrote Red Dwarf), and it became a massive hit in the UK, reaching number one in the UK Singles Chart in 1986.
The song features caricature puppets of various political figures of the time, including Margaret Thatcher, Ronald Reagan, Mikhail Gorbachev, and the show featured many politicians of the day including Edwina Currie. The lyrics of the song are highly satirical and poke fun at various political issues and figures of the time.
The lyrics of the song are as follows:
It’s the time of year
Now that Spring is in the air
When those two wet gits with their girly curly hair
Make another song for moronic holidays
That nauseate-ate-ate
In a million different ways
From the shores of Spain
To the coast of Southern France
No matter where you hide
You just can’t escape this dance
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
Paint your left knee green
Then extract your wisdom teeth
Form a string quartet
And pretend your name is Keith
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an Eskimo
Eat a Renault Four with salami in your ears
Casserole your gran
Disembowel yourself with spears
The disco is vibrating
The sound is loud and grating
It’s truly nauseating
Let’s do the dance again
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Yes you’ll hear this song in the holiday discos
And there’s no escape in the clubs or in the bars
You would hear this song if you holidayed on Mars
Skin yourself alive
Learn to speak Arapahoe
Climb inside a dog
And behead an Eskimo
Now you’ve heard it once
Your brain will spring a leak
And though you hate this song
You’ll be humming it for weeks
Hold a chicken in the air
Stick a deckchair up your nose
Buy a jumbo jet
And then bury all your clothes
La la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la laaaaaaa
