[時事英文] Chicken Attack
★★★★★★★★★★★★
2017新年剛過，就出現最新的洗腦歌曲「Chicken Attack」。雖然歌曲本身沒什麼艱澀難懂的詞彙或真理 (e.g. Chicken attack! Chicken attack!) ，但是歌手石井健雄 (Takeo Ischi) 勇於追求自己的夢想和奮戰不懈的精神非常值得我們學習!
★★★★★★★★★★★★
The new viral video involves a bizarre plot and yodeling done by a Japanese man named Takeo Ischi. Yodeling is a form of singing that is associated with the people living in the Central Alps, a vast mountain range covering parts of Italy, France, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany. Yodeling was originally used by shepherds to call out to their animals, but it eventually became an art form. Ischi, with no indication of any German heritage in his family, first heard yodeling on the radio in high school and fell in love with it ever since.
Following his father, Ischi went to university for mechanical engineering. However, he never gave up on his dream of becoming a yodeler. Using old records, Ischi taught himself to yodel in his spare time, and began performing on Japanese television. During a six-month period where he studied abroad in Germany, Ischi went to Switzerland, where he sang and yoldeled at a beer hall in Zurich. He then performed on television and soon after that became known in Germany as the "Japanese yodeler."
Looks like Chicken Attack will soon give PPAP a run for its money.

Lyrics:
Give that back!
Otherwise you will regret it!
You are going to stop me alone?
Who told you I was alone?
You should know that a man with the power of nature
Can bring you to the end of your luck
And you should know by my stride
And the look in my eyes
That you're about to be massively
Forced to give up!
Chicken attack!
Chicken attack!
Watch your back
Before it fades to black
They might look harmless
But they'll kick your non-chicken ass
Go chicken go!
Go chicken go!
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
With the power of nature
You're never alone
And you can't let evil run amok
Every beast
Every tree
Follows me to the end
And you're about to be massively
F*****!
Chicken attack!
Chicken attack!
Watch your back
Before it fades to black
They might look harmless
But they'll kick your non-chicken ass
Go chicken go!
Go chicken go!
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
You're young and you're hungry
Perhaps short on money
I give this chicken today
Its eggs for your dinner
Its legs for next winter
You won't have to steal again
What a merciful person
Are you able to control all animals?
I can control all animals
But chickens are the best!
Help! Help!
My brother was held hostage
In a bank robbery in Fujimi!
Don’t worry! It’s going to be OK!
Go chicken go!
Go chicken go!
Now go, now fly
You own the sky
(In Theaters 2017)
