Minecraft says to hell with it, adds in-game version of Lava Chicken song, which you get by beating a chicken jockey

Parents of children captivated by Minecraft have found themselves unwittingly learning a catchy tune this year. The infectious “LA-LA-LA-LAVA CHI-CHI-CHI-CHICKEN,” performed by Jack Black, has become a staple in many households, echoing through the halls for what seems like the thirtieth time in a single day. This 34-second earworm has made history as the shortest song to ever enter the Billboard Top 100 and has now been seamlessly integrated into the game itself.

New Updates and Features

The recent Minecraft update, version 1.21.94, introduces the music disc “Lava Chicken,” crafted by Hyper Potions. This remixed version aligns perfectly with the game’s distinctive audio style, enhancing the immersive experience for players. In addition to the musical addition, the update features the introduction of Happy Ghasts, which can be harnessed and leashed, allowing players to recreate thrilling aerial scenes reminiscent of the movie’s action sequences. In these moments, piglins chase the film’s protagonists through the skies, adding a new layer of excitement to gameplay.

Jack Black’s involvement in this phenomenon is noteworthy, especially as the success of the Minecraft movie continues to soar, positioning it as potentially the most successful video game adaptation to date. Warner Bros. has already confirmed plans for a sequel, a testament to the film’s impact. Much of this success can be attributed to the viral sensation of “Lava Chicken” and the memorable chicken jockey moment, which sparked a lively interaction in theaters. As children shouted “chicken jockey” back at the screen, the excitement reached such heights that law enforcement was occasionally called to manage the exuberance. One particularly dedicated fan even brought a live chicken to the screening, adding a humorous twist to the cinematic experience.
