- Thank you, Marco, for prompting my annual remembering of this song! (Any
- more frequently would probably be unhealthy, but more fun :-) My high school
- station played this occasionally, and it always cracked me up, even though
- I'd never even heard the Talking Heads song at the time. I'll never forget
- the chorus:
-
- Psycho chicken...
- Run away!
- ...
- Psycho chicken,
- Chasing me around!
- Bawk bawk bawk BAWWWKKK!
-
- Was it the Trogs? I can never remember. Anyway, hilarious!

- P.S. Enjoyed your post on your trip here, Marco! Sounds like you had a really
- wonderful time - I'm jealous :-) (I love S.F. too)
