I am on a Word Of The Day mailinglist (if anyone was wondering the word of the day was “cincture”), so I figured it would be fun to have word of the day songs. It feels familiar though, I might have - subconsciously of course - ripped this word theme thing off of some undoubtedly super innovative blogger so if you’ve seen this before or if this is your brainchild even, let me know and I’ll make sure to thank you every time we do this. Remember, imitation is the highest form of plagiarism.

The word of the day is Chicken!
Here is 100b’s top 5 featuring our feathered friends:

1.)    The Bees - Chicken Payback
Before Justin ever brought sexy back the wonderful Bees brought chicken (pay)back. Well, it would have been clever if it made any sense.

2.)    Louis Jordan - Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens
A special request from The Bean and the original chicken song. I like to think this is the tune that started it all.

3.)    The Detroit Cobras - Shout Bama Lama (Otis Redding cover)
Q: “How many chickens have I stole?” A: “One last night and the night before. I’m gonna have to try to get 10, 11 more.” Now that’s a serious love for chicken.

4)    Old Crow Medicine Show - Chicken Pie
I’m sure I’d like chicken pie. This might be the chickenest one of the bunch, they actually cluck in this song. Plus it sounds like a party in a real chicken coup.

5.)    Brakes - Spring Chicken
Coocoocachaaah! An awesome song by one of my favorite bands. I hope The Spring Chicken dance looks a little something like this:
