Do the Funky Chicken by Rufus Thomas, released on Stax in 1970.

Do the Funky Chicken Review by Richie Unterberger

Rufus Thomas' first album following Stax's break from the Atlantic had "Do the Funky Chicken" as its centerpiece, so the emphasis upon good-humored dance tunes was unsurprising. There were some weird moments, particularly the down-and-bestial seven-minute update of "Sixty Minute Man" (on which Rufus sounds like he's singing in tongues), a remake of "Bear Cat," and a two-part version of "Old McDonald Had a Farm."...

Bij dierendag hoort een beestachtig goed stukje muziek. En het is ook nog eens vrijdag, dus liefst een funky beestachtig goed stukje muziek. De perfecte tune is Funky Chicken van Rufus Thomas, maar die is negen jaar geleden al het beestachtig goede stukje muziek geweest, dus dan maar dit rondje met het hondje. Misschien niet zo funky, wel beestachtig goed.

It was fifty years ago today that The Ramones played their first gig in front of an audience. It was at Performance Studios in New York City.

“They're forming in a straight line
They're going through a tight wind
The kids are losing their minds
The Blitzkrieg Bop”

Rufus Thomas handling the crowd like the old pro he is. He's got this thing under control the whole time.

Some really wonderful dancing in the crowd shots and the 70s hair/fashion are really fun to look at.

"Breakdown" and "Funky Chicken"- Rufus Thomas (from "Wattstax", 1973)
