Yes, the explosion into chicken sounds in "Chick Chick" is the entire selling point of the song. I like the bland verses gluing it (cheaply) together; feel like giving any more would only detract from the spotlight on the squawking.

I suppose I understand concerns about this song's complicity in "Weird Asia" (or something along those lines) but I still find it hard to pin that xenophobic trope on "Chick Chick" if only because of what an airhorn-blastingly-obvious pleasure the chicken noises are. But I suppose if you don't find chicken noises (w/ *feeling*, anyway, beyond the basic conviction required to sell 'em) funny, that won't matter. (Anyway, I don't think it's at all clear by whom or how this song was enjoyed, especially in contrast with something like "Gangnam Style," where there were huge conversations about it all over the place. So while it would be an interesting set of questions, I don't think those questions have very clear answers in this case.)

In any case, I haven't been moved by chicken noises like that since childhood, probably, or at least (to a lesser degree) Mu's "Paris Hilton," which uses chicken noises more for mise en scene.
