This is a viewer-participation video. You get to play or sing the melody yourself as Tom accompanies you. This accompaniment was captured on the Yamaha Disklavier that Tom was playing as he backed members of the Raspberry Jam Band in a concert on February 10, 2008. It is played back here by my Knabe console's PianoDisc system.

The sponsor of the concert during which this performance originally was played, the late John Motto-Ros, often stated "There are no bad chicken songs." Even after Tom would find some new obscure piece about a chicken, it always seemed to hold true in John's mind. King Chanticleer from 1910 could be called deservedly the king of all chicken songs. It remains a hugely popular tune among both ragtime and jazz musicians, though its lyrics are rarely heard. The music is by Nat D. Ayer with lyrics by A. Seymour Brown.
