CHICKENS Also Sprach Zarathustra & In The Mood

TWO of my favorites from Ray Stevens chickens.....

Ray Stevens - Thus Cacked Henrietta 

Uploaded on Nov 21, 2011

Here is the rare classic "Thus Cracked Henrietta" by Ray Stevens, from the "I Have Returned" album.

This is the first track, "Thus Cacked Henrietta", is a rendition of Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra", performed in chicken clucks. However, it's only the popular fanfare portion of the musical number and obviously not the entire performance, which lasts over thirty minutes, broken into various parts. The rendition by Stevens lasts a little over 1 minute and was his first chicken-clucking performance since 1977's "In the Mood," released under the alias "The Henhouse Five Plus Too."

"In The Mood" is a novelty version of the song that was recorded by Ray Stevens in 1977.

Stevens' version consisted of him performing the song in chicken clucks, bar-for-bar. The performance was credited to the "Henhouse Five Plus Too". The single was a Top-40 hit in both America and the UK.
