This tune, a minor hit and regional classic, is a parody of the Talking Heads tune, "Psycho Killer," but in this case it is a chicken that is on the lam! Lots of cluck-humor here. Side A is the "Clucked" version, where clucking noises are used to cover the cuss words, while Side B, the "Beeped" version, uses the more conventional beeping sound. In any case, Side A gives you more cluck for your buck. Comes in original EMI stock sleeve. Vinyl is NM & plays clean!
