Dead Kennedys - Chicken Farm

[samruiz0000]

this song paints one hell of a picture T-T

[vinny20000]

This song reminds me of Storage Wars.

[DeanCarrot]

Reminds me of chicken mcnuggets when I hear this. Damn mcdonalds.

[HyperVoldo]

Don't know who mentioned The Exploited but they aren't much good at all haha. Crass are way better, but DK just edge them because of the actual music :)

[twotonechad]

@HyperVoldo

yeah i know how in the hell did the exploited come up jesus

[pattycat100567]

@HyperVoldo exploited ,crass,biafra,ive listened to them all for decades,the only way to appreciate them is to be a fuk up person,im fuked and am glad,these men were ahead of the times with the greatest music,if you like bs like green day and blink then go fuk your self,lets start a war by exploited is one of the greatest pieces ever,punk is punk and fag is fag,be fuked and be proud because////!there is only so many that really believe sex pistols and ramones started it,,,,not!

[ninetyfive300zx]

the best anti war song ever!

[Yubera2K10]

@ninetyfive300zx Its not anti-war.

[lazyfreedom98]

I think this song could be applied to people today.

[6superb9]

Go Shriners! They have awesome cars in this picture. Usually have little Model A's and such.

[pemoc66]

Dead Kennedys - legendary! Jello Biafra always wrote the most thought provoking lyrics and this track proves that.

[OLYMPIAKOSvsGOD]

yeaaa dead kennedys are awesome

[serpico89]

what organization are the men in the cars from?

[MBeroose]

@serpico89

Shriners

[serpico89]

@MBeroose 0.000!!! u mean members of the Free Masonry? :-X

[MBeroose]

@serpico89

Yep

[jackdaw123456]

dead kennedys are great,the exploited just sucks

[LaidbackHerotyke]

@jackdaw123456 Thats bollocks they are both good bands.

[straightedge442]

@jackdaw123456 Fuck the Exploited. The level of intelligence between the two are on completely different spectrums.

[jackdaw123456]

@straightedge442 i totally agree with you. punk means to think free, punk is freedom in lifestyle, freedom is clothes, freedom in hairstyle.The exploited are some morons, in their lyrics i can't see anything intelligent or rebellious. In my opinion they don't know anything about punk they don't even know what are they singing about.

Michael Jackson is more punk than the exploited.

But Dead Kennedys rules!!

[jackdaw123456]

@straightedge442 At last I met someone who has the same opinion as me :)

I tought i'm alone

[straightedge442]

@jackdaw123456 I'm glad other people do have that opinion and can recognize music that should be given attention.

[ninetyfive300zx]

love this cd 

[SLAPnPOP726]

Fucking hell, that is one haunting guitar riff at the beginning.

Such an underrated song.

[yousername]

Such an underrated album, its amazing and a lot of people dont see it

[SLAPnPOP726]

@yousername Yeah, that's true. I wish it was as popular as Fresh Fruit or Surgery Disasters (which are both excellent albums as well).

[McLeod54]

This song makes me want to vomit, so it's well done

[petemcable]

Robin Shields is a big puff.....

[aaainaaaa]

(What a great lyrics, thanks for writing it here)

[Optimat1000]

unique sound of DK- still cool

[Galakuta]

THE STALINのChicken Farm Chickenとどっちが先なんだ？

[LetsLynchTheCapitol]

What a haunting ass guitar riff! I love it!!!!!

JELLO 4 PRESIDENT

[Lolwoo1]

Such a shame that I will never get to see DK live to who anyone who saw them live I am truly jealous.

[adictschampselysees]

i understand the whole song except the part about finding a watch can someone explain that to me

[shaneheadface]

When rifling thru their clothes (stealing from the dead) you just might find a watch....maybe even a rolex!!!!OOOoohhhh!!!!Wouldn't­ that be exciting?!?

[wgilroy]

Watch: 'The Killing Fields' sometime. There where dead bodies floating down the Mekong river for miles... a chicken farm is the place wherein people were executed for things such as wearing eye-glasses ("intellectuals') etc.

[adictschampselysees]

@wgilroy

thank you

[CapitalistOverlord]

@wgilroy Chicken Farm was about the treatment of the Vietnamese during and after the Vietnam war.

[wgilroy]

@CapitalistOverlord

Indeed, they are talking about the "boat people" the folks with agent orange in their "food chain for ever more, though little brother "found a new toy and held it up proud" in the Chicken Farm: "Run my little brother, run to the chicken farm...oppurtunity is calling you might even find a watch."

[wgilroy]

The contrast shown in this song was the dilemma of people in SE Asia post 2nd Indo-Chinese war, not only fleeing Vietnam, but, also, the Pathet Lao in Laos and the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia, the choice was to stay in a world gone mad in Indo-China: "Executions have begun" "deformed by agent orange in our food chain for ever more" or to flee and enjoy "Yankee Hospitality" in America where the "kids at school get beat up to the tune of boat people go home"but it sure beats the Chicken farm"

[lazyfreedom98]

@CapitalistOverlord No Its A Song...Sound Vibrations...The Vietnamese don't listen to Sound Vibrations.

[wgilroy]

These people had been fucked over in unrelenting since the Japanese invaded the French Colonies in Indo-China(Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia) near the end of 1941.The vast majority of the people of Indo-China had always been peasant farmers(wet rice farmers: see Mekong Delta),subsisting but not much more (or in some cases working on plantations (rubber).From 1941 until 1979-80' (Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia)they had been at war, poor, starving! A watch is something to sell in order to survive.

[ahlemownzu]

Such a bright yet haunting riff.

[russianpaul77]

one of my favorite dk songs

[wgilroy]

Watch the fucking Killing Fields, Read a goddamned book on the Pathet Lao, The Khmer Rouge, or the NLF for christ sake!!! Find out who Po Pot was and why Buddhist Monks were setting themselves on fire (or how it was put nicely: Self-Immolation)under the US backed Dictator Ngo Dinh Diem!

[wgilroy]

Pol Pot*

[wgilroy]

My God! This isn't about Farming Poultry or Vegetarianism, or deformed chickens at KFC!!! It is about the War in SE Asia and 'Yankee Hospitality' to the Boat People!!! "Boat People Go home" Good Grief!!! Anyone who had a relative in Vietnam (Or Laos or Cambodia) ask them what a Chicken-farm is, and why you might "find a watch' or something that would "blow you to bits", why would they have to wash the blood off of clothes??

[gm2780]

what does this song actually mean anyway.??

[waIIflower]

If you can't interpret Dead Kennedys songs you probably shouldn't be listening to them.

[dhspacman]

a lot of their songs are about cambodia so maybe that will help people who dont know much about it to learn about pol pot, most people at my school dont even know who he is

[SurveyorXXX]

wallflower probly doesn't know either.....Basically, it's about survival in a 3rd world country.

[waIIflower]

Oh, believe me. I know what it means.

[lazyfreedom98]

@crazypokemonmaster Its about body parts.

[lazyfreedom98]

@crazypokemonmaster is not spam...no comment is spam...its a logic trap.

[crazypokemonmaster]

does any one know were i can find records by the dead kennedys on line,in austin,galveston or houston?

[waIIflower]

Why is everybody arguing about vegetarianism? This song has NOTHING to do with factory farming or reducing one's meat consumption. If any of you bothered to listen to the lyrics, you'll find this song has political meaning and references US military activity in Vietnam (Napalm, Agent Orange, etc.)

[LILLGET]

I CHANGED MY SOCKS TO THIS TUNE.

[palehorsepalerider]

I skated the shit out of this song

[lazyfreedom98]

@palehorsepalerider no comment is hidden.

[SurveyorXXX]

5 stars. More if I could!

[SWDRM7]

Mmmm nice rare stake. What is wrong with Meat?

[0101selm]

Become vegan? So stupid. how many animals would be alive if we all turn veggo? Would be fun o se how nearly 7 billion ould survive on vegetables. We have to respect all living but to say that veggo is the solution is like saying that we smash all cars and lorrys so the earth can survive. Sounds like a solution of someone who has used his, or her, brain for two seconds. We have huge problems when money rules before respect. As veggos man would have died 120 000 BC.

[straightedge72]

Going vegetarian or vegan is a great thing. We have the technology and resources now to sustain our planet, and actually better it without meat consumption. The effects of the meat companies, and consumption are devestating. The fact that we need to sustain 7 billion people is not being helped by the fact taht the meat industries is destroying the earth we live on, and we can only progress as a race if we choose the wise decision, not the easy one.

[palehorsepalerider]

Moron. Animals consume the vegetables you could eat directly, and a 400% + waste factor is created. On cows its even higher, at 800% or more. An example would be that if you took wheat and made a loaf of bread and ate it for nutrition, you would have to feed a cow 8 loaves of bread to get the same nutritional value out of the beef it made for you to eat. Meat eating on a mass scale is not logical, so just stop lying and say you just like killing animals and eating their bloody body parts.

[Matthew1776]

I like killing animals and eating their bloody body parts and so did your ancestors or else you would not exist. Without consuming meat you develop a defiecency in Iron and if you like not being healthy that is fine by me. Either way this song is nothing about vegetarianism.

[badsign1980]

if kids nowdays knew what they eat and the conditions animals are kept they would turn vegans, the only way we can bring this system of slavery down is not obeying not complaing living our lifes with humilde perception that each dollar that comes out is more andmore pressure over theenvirorment and everyone of us, there alternatives to petrol and meat... lets destroy this system before it destroys us

[voltagejunkie666]

i'm a vegan!

[ColdDeath1332]

there isnt a healthy alternative to meat. Humans need it to survive... All the vegans and vegatarians that i see are unhealthy... Not necessarily fat or overweight but underweight pale and just unhealthy. I know exactly what im eating and what it went thru before i consume it.. I LOVE ME SOME ANIMAL MUSCLE TISSUE!

[NellyNinja]

bass riff sounds stolen from I'm So Cute (off Sheik Yerbouti)

[0101selm]

Great song, Together with Let's lynch the landlord their best. Jello's such a strange dude with a lot of things to say. A differens from todays so called stars where only money counts. Not many would like to hear artists of today speak up about what they believe in, like Jello or Zappa.

[madnessmoe]

klaus is an awesome bassist

[andy7666]

So true - he's a scheming kike but an excellent player. I always tried to play like him as a kid - a crazy style, he uses the bass more and in ways than others would ever do. At least that was true of all the music I listened to as a kid.

[star69elvis]

FINALLY

I have been waiting FOREVER for someone to post this song - I absolutely LOVE it, 2nd best DK song ever - can't beat Stars & Stripes though...

[willyboy77]

You mean the two better songs on frankenchrist (along with mtv get off the air)

[dinoblackgrape]

brilliant song and band

[Sensoriexpansion69]

children are still workin' for slave wages. just ask Kathie Lee Gifford. She beats them, kicks them around and just think, her husband screwed another woman, while the kids are working on the chicken farm....

[1986Testarossa]

really good song! thanks

[Nederlandac]

I got Frabkenchrist on wednesday.

[Hellpartyboy2009]

What's Frabkenchrist?

[theZMZ]

It's a green-children-eating-monster with red eyes and balck teeth, that's what Frabkenchrist is. The only good about thing about him is that he doesn't ask stupid questions.

[vanuaturocks]

DK are so awesome. Frankenchrist is so eerie and ray is a great guitarist
