Earth Vs. The Earthmen MIDI demo by Carrot Topp of Radioactive Chicken Heads. A studio version was later recorded for the Radioactive Chicken Heads' Growing Mold album.

Earth vs. the Earthmen (Demo)

The sweet little tale of Bird Brain, a chicken-headed zombie who is literally falling apart piece by piece and yet still manages to attack his closest friends in a bloody rampage. This song was written and recorded in collaboration with Mr. Ego Plum.


TAKE A LOOK AT YOURSELF, MY FRIEND YOU ARE A MESS
BOY YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT THIS TIME
YOUR CRANIUM IS CRACKED AND YOUR BRAIN IS EXPOSED
WELL IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO KEEP AN OPEN MIND

YOUR EYEBALLS ARE POPPING OUT OF YOUR SKULL
AND DANGLING FROM THEIR SOCKETS
YOU OUGHT TO SHOVE YOUR EYES BACK INTO YOUR HEAD
OR AT LEAST PUT 'EM INTO YOUR POCKETS

YOU JUMPED OUT OF BED
MISSING HALF YOUR HEAD
NOW YOU'RE THE LIVING DEAD
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

UNFINISHED SURGERY
FOR YOUR LOBOTOMY
DON'T SPILL YOUR BRAINS ON ME
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

ALRIGHT, THIS IS GOING JUST A LITTLE BIT TOO FAR
I TELL YA BUDDY, THAT'S NOT COOL
YOU WENT OUT ON A DATE AND YOUR BORROWED MY TIE
NOW IT'S SOAKING WITH YOUR BLOODY DROOL
AND YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S LOOKING PALE AS A CORPSE

BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT PERSONALLY
HEY I WAS ONLY JOKING, WE'RE STILL PALS RIGHT
WHY ARE YOU ATTACKING ME?
HERE, HAVE THIS INSTEAD

IT'S A PIECE OF BREAD
OW, DON'T PECK MY HEAD
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!
UGH, I'M FEELING WEAK

MY GUTS ARE IN YOUR BEAK
MY FUTURE'S GETTING BLEAK
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BUH-BUH-BUH-BUH-BIRD BRAIN
BIRD BRAIN! BIRD BRAIN!

We Are Number One

We Are Number One But We're Radioactive Chicken Heads

The Chicken Heads' official theme song, and future national anthem (when we get our own country)

Cluck You!

The title track from the Radioactive Chicken Heads album, Tales From The Coop, released on October 13th, 2017.

Available now at radioactivechickenheads.bandcamp.com 

Cover art by Noaur. Engineered by Dave Klein at Dave Klein Recording. Mixed and mastered by Jeff Forrest at Doubletime Studios.

Lyrics:

Picture if you will... Doctor Von Kluckinstein, 
An evil genius mastermind, 
Devised a scheme to bring him great wealth and glory, 
Formulating frankenfoods down in his laboratory. 

He began experiments with vegetables, 
Enormous in size but not quite edible. 
Moved on to making mutant mega-chickens 
But they managed to escape. 
That’s where the plot thickens. 

Kluckinstein’s plans had begun 
But the Chickens flew the coop. 
Now they’re on the run. 

So the mad doctor sent his minions out on a mission: 
Capture the missing mutants who pose as musicians. 
The Legion of Goons assembled and were given the task: 
Find the carrot and chickens and bring ‘em back to the lab. 

While an unsuspecting world is asleep, 
Gatorteeth is unleashed and evil onions creep. 
The robot Rabbit gets into gear. 
Killer Klownfish get vicious, striking fear. 

Hear the howl of the fowl in the dead of night. 
When chickens get wicked and ascend into flight. 
They’ve sharpened their beaks and are ready to bite. 
The victims of chickens are stricken with fright. 

Here’s a final warning, so be prepared. 
Proceed with caution if you dare 
To hear frightful stories of poultry spooks 
When you listen to tales from the coop!

Tales From the Coop

"Cluck at the Moon" by the Radioactive Chicken Heads. Guest vocals by Ronald Osbourne of Mac Sabbath.

Lyrics:
Walking in the barnyard, late last night, 
I saw a something strange in the pale moonlight. 
At that moment, I knew I wasn’t alone. 
I turned around to run back home. 
I heard a shrill squawk and then I looked back. 
A feathery bird gave my a lips a smack. 
It wasn't a kiss, it was more like a peck 
But I’d never expect what would happen next. 

I was a teenage werechicken. 
The changes happened so soon. 
Cursed with a freakish affliction 
That doomed me to cluck at the moon. 

Now, when my stomach is empty and the moon is full, 
I gotta do all I can just to keep my cool 
‘Cause I’m sprouting a beak every fourth week. 
People shriek at the sight of my poultry physique. 
Lock me up, please. I can’t be free range 
‘Cause I go in a trance and mutilate grains. 
I got scaley legs, might lay some eggs too 
Then hop up on the roof and shout “cock-a-doodle-doo!”

Cluck At The Moon

Somebody's Watching Me (Rockwell cover)

The "Wiccan Chicken" song from Tales From the Coop, featuring vocals by Rockin' Robin and Dominique Lenore Persi of Stolen Babies. Happy Halloween!


https://radioactivechickenheads.bandcamp.com/

Boys and girls, listen well. 
I have a story I’d like to tell. 
Not for the fearless, not for the brave, 
Only for you chickens in dismay. 

When you see her, try not to scream, on Halloween. 
Her name is Wiccan Chicken. 
Flying high on her broom in the sky. 
You know the end is nigh. 
She’s a witch, that wicked chicken. 

They say she lives on a house on a hill, 
Covered in weeds and daffodils. 
Has a pointy hat, has a crooked beak. 
Mess with her if it’s your doom you seek. 
One eye green, the other blue. 
Cooking in her cauldron, a bubbling brew. 
Wait, this is it! there she goes 
With an incantation only she can know: 

“Tongue of worm and wool of cat. 
Fire burn with hangman's fat. 
Spider bones and all ten toes. 
Let thy potion grow from below. 
With these words I shall say, 
You will all be my slaves. 
Feathery-fi and cluckity-coo. 
Silly me, the last thing to add is you.” 

So take heed of this tale. 
If you don’t, you will grow pale. 
Go ahead and frolic, run amok, 
But when she spots you, you’ll surely be stuck 
In her oven for her stew 
Of ghouly green and goblin’s goo. 
Trick or treat. she’ll take your feet. 
It’ll give her something good to eat. 

“Oh, my sweet little dears. 
I'll bring truth to all your fears. 
For when my stomach starts to yearn, 
Your feet, I'll take to turn and churn 
In my pot for a scrumptious meal, 
Sautéed with snake and eye of eel. 
And by the light of the moon, 
I'll swiftly ride away upon my broom”

Wiccan Chicken featuring Rockin' Robin & Dominique Lenore Persi of Stolen Babies

Bad Egg

This is a public service announcement with chickens! A very short one written especially for a compilation of safety tip songs. Listen closely to this song...it just might save your life.

    Look both ways before crossing the street
    Or get better acquainted with the concrete
    Why did the chicken cross the road?
    To get the other side
    But it didn't watch out for oncoming traffic
    And it got hit by a teenage driver going for a joyride
    Sent him on up to that big chicken coop in the sky
    So look both ways before crossing the street

Look Both Ways

Boris the Spider (The Who cover)

    ONCE UPON A TIME
    I WAS A PIECE OF SLIME
    SITTING ON A ROCK
    LEARNING HOW TO WALK
    LEARNING HOW TO TALK
    LEARNING HOW TO GET A JOB, MAKE SOME MONEY, BUY A CAR, MAYBE INVEST IN  SOME STOCK
    BUT FROM TIME TO TIME
    I STILL FEEL LIKE SLIME
    BUT NOW I'M A

    ONCE UPON A TIME
    I WAS A PIECE OF SLIME, YEAH
    FULL OF HOPES AND SCHEMES
    LIFE COULD BE A DREAM
    TWO KIDS, A WIFE, A WASHING MACHINE
    THEN I GOT OLD
    THEY THREW ME OUT IN THE COLD
    LIKE A MOLDY TANGERINE
    I'LL GIVE 'EM A PIECE O' MY MIND
    BUT WHERE IS MY SPINE
    IN A BIG BAG

    O' BONES, BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES
    IN A BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES
    BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES
    IN A BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES
    BIG BAG, BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES
    IN A BIG BAG, BIG BAG O' BONES

Originally recorded for "Flogging a Dead Cow: A Tribute to the Dead Milkmen"

The Thing That Only Eats Hippies (Dead Milkmen cover)

It's A Beautiful Day For A Natural Disaster

On the night he was born
They saw that he was deformed
The doctor said he'd be better off dead
But his mother replied
He'll be all right without a couple of holes in his head

He'll be a man without nostrils
But he'll turn out just fine
He can breathe through his mouth
And he'll have a good life
He'll be a man without nostrils
A regular guy except he doesn’t have a nose

Off he went to school but he couldn't fit in
He was taunted and tormented by the other kids
As he was walking home one afternoon
They jumped him and they slugged him till he was black and blue

He's that kid without nostrils, let's make him cry
He can bleed through his mouth and we'll have a good time
He's the kid without nostrils
What a weird looking guy
He can’t even pick his nose

He couldn’t live a normal life with an abnormal face
So he decided to run away
He got joined up with the traveling side show
'Cuz when you got no nose who knows where you can go?

Come see the man without nostrils, you won't believe your eyes
Pay one thin dime and have a good time
He's the man without nostrils, an astounding sight
See the man without a nose

Well, the 1970s came to pay
And they put his face on shirts that said "Have A Nice Day"
But then he fell ill and he died in bed
And on the next day his obituary read

He was a man without nostrils
But he turned out just fine
He could breathe through his mouth
And he had a good life
A man without nostrils
a regular guy but he didn’t have a...

The Man Without Nostrils

There's a little ball that floats in space
With some tiny specs called the human race
As we observe from the nerve endings fixed to our brains
It appears that we're not the first to invade
Who pointed these missiles with Earth as their aim?
It may sound insane
But from what we've determined
It's Earth versus the Earthmen

With arms extended across the skies
Planning for the planet to be pulverized
Let's go back home
Turn this ship around
Because what goes up
Must come down

Earth Versus the Earthmen

"Creeping Onions" featuring Count Smokula. From the Radioactive Chicken Heads album, Tales From the Coop. Engineered and mixed by Jeff Forrest at Doubletime Studios. RadioactiveChickenHeads.com

Creeping Onions (featuring Count Smokula)

The theme song for the upcoming zombie/bowling horror comedy film "Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer" 

Atom the Amazing Zombie Killer

One of our earliest inspirations were the radical children's records of Barry Louis Polisar. This is a cover of a song that was originally on his album "Off Color Songs For Kids"

I Looked Into The Mirror

A fist full of Danzig-esque metal about the biggest, meanist, and baddist bunny rabbit who ever hopped the face of the earth.

THE BUNNY'S COMIN' OUT TONIGHT
BETTER STAY INSIDE
THE BUNNY'S LOOKIN' FOR A BITE
BETTER RUN AND HIDE

THE BUNNY'S HERE, THE BUNNY'S HERE
THE BUNNY HOPS UP AND DOWN
HE'S GOT BIG EARS, HE'S GOT BIG EARS
THE WORLD IS HIS PLAYGROUND

BAD BUNNY
HE'S BAD
BUNNY
BAD

THE BUNNY'S NOT AFRAID TO KILL
THE BUNNY WANTS HIS FOOD
THE BUNNY'S GONNA HAVE HIS FILL
THE BUNNY, HE IS RUDE

CARROTS AND LETTUCE AND RADISHES TOO
HIS EVIL SOUL CRAVES VEGETABLES
HE WON'T STOP TILL HE'S THROUGH

BAD BUNNY
HE'S BAD
BUNNY
SO BAD

YEAH, GIMME BAD BUNNY
OH WOAH HO WOAH HO
IT'S BUNNY TIME
OH WOAH HO WOAH HO

CAN YOU HEAR THE BUNNY NOW
HOPPIN' DOWN THE BUNNY TRAIL
HE'S GOT PINK EYES, HE TWITCHES HIS NOSE
AND HAS A COTTON TAIL

THE BUNNY'S HERE, HE'S GOT BIG EARS
AND HE'S MUSCLE BOUND
HE LEAPED OUT OF HIS BUNNY HOLE
UNDERNEATH THE GROUND YEAH!

BAD BUNNY
HE'S BAD
BUNNY
BAD!

WOAH!!
BUNNAYYY!!!
YEAH!

Bad Bunny

This song was written as revenge fantasy for childhood nightmares of Chuck E Cheese, a giant rodent who terrorizes children in darkened pizza palaces.

Music For Mutants

Pest Control (Kill Chucky Cheese)

One of our biggest influences is Barry Louis Polisar and his very brilliantly offbeat children's records. The original song, a response to those concerned about the nutrition of a vegetarian diet, comes from Barry's 1975 album, "I Eat Kids and other songs for Rebellious Children" We took his anthem about not eating chickens and cows and cowpunked it up for this recording. 

I Eat Kids (Barry Louis Polisar cover)

Beware, if you play this song backwards, you may summon up the evil demonic chicken El Pollo Diablo...though something far worse may occur if you play it fowards.

Deviled Egg

Initially inspired by a wet and greasy pizza box, this is what could happen when an untested artificial fat substitute goes horribly wrong and a becomes enormous oily monster devouring your city.

Liquid Fat

Just a typical day in the life at the secret experimental farming compound for genetically modified organisms that we call home. 

Mutate

Alvin and the Chipmunks meet Suicidal Tendencies

Institutionalized (Suicidal Tendencies cover - Chipmunk Punk version)

A propaganda song meant to arouse public support for Sgt. Psyclopps and his chicken militia's battle to liberate millions of chickens from being slaughtered, battered, and Kentucky-fried in the hands of Col. Sanders. 

Poultry Uprising

Based on the true story of Mike the Headless Chicken, a rooster from Fruita, Colorado who miraculously remained alive after having his head chopped off. He soon rose to fame and toured sideshows across America in the 1940's. We found Mike's refusal to die even after being decapitated to be very inspirational and we dedicate this song to him.

    MICHAEL WAS A CHICKEN

    WELL, A ROOSTER TO BE EXACT

    HE HAD THE GRAVE MISFORTUNE

    OF BEING ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE AXE

    DECAPITATION EQUALS DEATH

    TO MOST THAT'S JUST A GIVEN

    BUT OL' MIKE SAW THINGS DIFFERENT

    SO HE WENT ON A LIVIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, THE HEADLESS CHICKEN

    HEADLESS MIKE REFUSED TO DIE

    HEADLESS MIKE, HIS HEART KEPT TICKIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, OH WHAT A GUY

    AN INSTANT CELEBRITY

    HE TOURED THE COUNTRY IN AN AUTO

    PROBABLY THE GREATEST THING

    THAT EVER CAME FROM COLORADO

    SO IF YOU'RE FEELING BLUE

    THINK YOU'VE BEEN DEALT A BOGUS HAND

    JUST REMEMBER HEADLESS MIKE

    AND HOLLAR "AIN'T LIFE GRAND!"

    HEADLESS MIKE, THE HEADLESS CHICKEN

    HEADLESS MIKE REFUSED TO DIE

    HEADLESS MIKE, ALIVE AND KICKIN'

    HEADLESS MIKE, OH WHAT A GUY
