Chicken on fire.

Sign in to disble this ad
We played a little pub in a village a couple of miles from home last night.

After a decent first set, we retired to the outside smoking area and we were approached by two young ladies.
One asked if we would play "Sex on fire" and was pleased to hear that it was part of the second set.

She went on to tell us that her four-year-old daughter was a fan of the tune and had asked her "What is the man singing?" in the chorus.

Apparently, she told the little girl that he was singing "Your chicken's on fire".

This tickled us a bit, so when the time came to play it, we duly dedicated it to our new ladyfriends and introduced it with its new alternative title.
We got a few puzzled looks from the rest of the audience but the song went down a storm.

There are lots of covers of it on YouTube.
One that I saw was some kids playing it for their schoolfriends.

The description said "Sorry about the lyric change but it's a Christian school".

When they got to the chorus, it became "Your love is on fire".




It makes more sense than "chicken", I suppose.
