#JohnnyCash #TheChickeninBlack #Officialvideo
[Chorus:]
I said "Stick 'em up everybody, I'm robbing this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said, "Why, you're Johnny Cash!"
I said, "No ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber in New York
And Johnny Chickens biggest hit was "I squawk The Line".
this deserves way more likes than it got
I think his biggest hit is "Chicken Sang Bass".
25 minutes to fry.
The Cash in black
One peck at a time
Even when he tried to make a terrible song he came out with a masterpiece
Your painting sessions always relax me.

Johnny Cash is beyond legendary.
This goes to show you that the WORST song that Johnny Cash ever put out would be considered the BEST that these 'new country artist' could ever release.
Very Well Said ... i agree ...
I’m dyin’🤣🤣🤣
We are going Down !
“Today’s Country” music is going to hell today
@@iowafarmhandonajohndeere5902 what do you mean by going?? It's been there for the last decade or so
Bro was the Eminem of the 80’s
Johnny Cash: Yeah. This song is bad.
Everybody: I´m gonna stop you right there.
Imagine telling Cash at the time, that this song he wrote purposely bad will blow up and be a hit for him on the internet decades later😂
2:38 well about that Cash
The way he eats a chicken and says a chicken in black
"Well they're heating up the fryin' cell, and I got 25 minutes to go. And the chef says he's gonna cook me well, I've got 24 minutes to go."
I love ❤ Johnny Cash ❤
thank you TH-cam for suggesting some good shit once in a while =D
If this guy made serious songs he could be really big one day.
Please be joking
@@toastfan23 He's not Rihanna or JayZ. I've never heard of him before this song. If he does a serious song he would be really big, don't you agree?
@@toastfan23 I just did a bit of research there and apparently, he collabed with Nine Inch Nails in 2004 and became semi-famous. If he still makes music now, I'm sure if he was good we would've heard of him.
@@joemelrose9133 he died in 2001
@@toastfan23 That's a shame, he didn't get the time he needed to make good music.
That Chevy
Firstly, what the fcuk
Secondly, just when I thought I heard every one of his songs
It was a kind of a protest song in a way.. Johnny was trying to get himself fired from a record contract he no longer wanted to be tied to. So he deliberately wrote something he was sure no one would ever buy.
@@bombercountyblues I would buy
Bro im her in 2024
This is the first time I have seen Mr Cash just foolin' around. Enjoyed it very much.
He did an impersonation of Elvis in the 50's so there were other opportunities.. :D
He has a good sense of humor
anybody know the yr this came out?
valkor73 ‘twas released in ‘84
@@TheArmchairPriest thanks
He literally couldn't make a bad song if he tried, apparently...
Nope all of his songs are great
Oh the irony! 😂

@pasquale davino that's orrible grammar
@@lilsaintboyy9405 oh boy, that's more than orrible grammar alright
Johnny Cash is the only man who could write a song about his brain being swapped via bluetooth and it being put in a chicken.
He didn’t write it.
@@charleshesketh7218 Who did?
@@rickraber1249 Gary Gentry, he wrote it specifically for Johnny Cash
@@charleshesketh7218 Thank you! I wonder if he wrote any of Johnny's other goofy songs. I love this video too - looks like they spent about $5000 making it. Kind of like Ray Stevens' videos.
Ray stevens is my great uncle we grew up watchinh him...he was a good man!@rickraber1249
So basically the reason he made this song was Johnny Cash Shitposting
Yeah he's outlaw country early rockabilly and rock. So he was going against the norms laid down ny the Opry the center of country music in the country.
WHAT😭
@@josephbilling6445 nah, there's a bugger story to this song, and it's hilarious
A boy named sue lol... he had a sense of humour
Pretty much man. It led him to Rick and got us his final album before he went to be with June again.
The weirdest part of this was seeing Johnny Cash wearing yellow
That's what I was thinking too
Come to think, this is the first time I've seen him wear something other than black.
That wasn't Johnny cash, that was the Manhattan flash
Agreed; I didn't know everything was all right ;)
Henry Bechtel well after all hes the man in black
So... Either Johnny is posting from the grave, or the chicken has his account now
Hey, ain't no grave gonna hold ol' Johnny Cash down
Yeah, it's the chicken
😅😆🤣😂
Damn Chicken
I'll put my bids to chicken... That's alive ya know.
Bruh imagine minding your own business then Johnny Cash comes out of nowhere and mugs you with his guitar
We still miss Grandpa Cash😞
Hey I’d be pretty happy
dunno about you but I'm giving him my money
No ma'am he's the Manhattan flash, and he's the best bank robber in new york
He's so charismatic he could make a vigor testing machine burst into flames
Could make a deathclaw blush!
He could make frank horrigan cry
He could make legate lanius reconsider war
He could make president Eden a humanitarian
He could make harold not a fucking tree
I'm glad that new Tiktok trend has post-millennials listening to actual country music.
YES!!!!!
ive listened to johnny cash for ages but i learned of this song of tik tom tbf
Is save a horse not real country music?
Im 17 and i have listened to him for about 7-8 years and my father was the first to introduce me in his music. So for me its hard to imagine that anything other than Johnny Cash is country
Stick em up, everybody I'm robbing this place, drop all your money in my guitar case, don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door...so many awesome tik tok videos ... legends...
Most people: Its so hard to make a good song and join a record label
Johnny Cash: Damn it it's so hard to make a bad song so I can get out of a record label.
True
He tried making a bad song and here I am addicted to it.
the record label got him out and this was his "good bye" as he wrote in his memories.
Not sure where this story got started but it's not true. He wasn't trying to get out of his Columbia contract, They were legitimately looking for a novelty to song to try to recapture some of the buzz. It didn't work. It was basically the last straw for Columbia.
I haven't been this impressed since Disco Duck 😀
A drug-fueled sense of humor is the best.
Johnny Cash Out here dropping music videos from the grave but I can’t get a text back
Legendary
Ain’t no grave can hold his body down
Never knew he did music videos LOL I'm pleasantly surprised. Tell me there's a music video for _One Piece at a Time_ 🙏🏼
@@justacinnamonbun8658 there's a music video for One Piece at a Time
LMAO>>>>>
First time hearing this. Didn't know this song existed.
it is... quite surprising
He purposely tried to make this song a bad one due to his record label treating him Bad.
@pasquale davino Say what now? 🤔
He was in a Colombo movie many years ago accused of killing his wife with a parachute, 😁
@pasquale davino It is basically ¨A Boy named Sue¨ with a little different chorus.
Fun fact: You do, in fact, have to report stolen money to the IRS.
- IRS agent
I think it's funny that the IRS is so openly ok with taking a piece of your ill-gotten gains. Might help explain the growing reluctance to prosecute theft 🤔😆
That brings a whole new meaning to "career criminal" 🤣
They don't care where your income comes from, but if you've got income, you will pay taxes. What's also great is that they won't snitch.

@@kathrynricke1905 beat me to it. Ray is great
I only know only one song J C has no business singing it's "they call me the breeze by R.VANZANT.HIS SON did not help!
He was real for this one. This song feels like a coded message to his audience when he tells them that what you see isn't what you get. The audience isn't getting the authentic Johnny Cash from his place under the record labels, but something more akin to the chicken that happens to be performing his songs.
It's got to be about feeling dissociative - maybe drugs and alcohol. And being replaced.
No man Cash was just that kind of guy he was a funny hard working family man and a real solid American he sang the songs he wanted when he wanted to. Only whrn he was younger did he partially let the label infulence his music once he blew up he used his music and voice to be political and speak on what is right. Check out " what is truth" by Cash
@@dylancopeno its just a funny song. He didnt hide his message he had plenty of music where he was direct and to the point about his beliefs.
it is believed he wrote it so he could be let out of a restrictive contract with his label.
Johnny Cash is a legend that people don't appreciate. He had a messed up life but ended up making it out alright. I hope he is happy in heaven.
I’m sure he is! He’s my real life hero! And one thing is for sure! His songs make me happy!
Bs
Everyone happy in heaven bro!
Saying people dont appreciate him is complete nonsense, his music is very beloved.
@@Simon-yp7rv I think he means that he is not as legendary as (for example) Elvis or others. But if Elvis was King of Rock n Roll than Johnny Cash was King of fuc**ng everything 😉
Johnny Cash’s acting is actually pretty good in this video, very animated and expressive. It captures the silly tone perfectly
He has been in some good movies to
When I was a bigger Cash nut I watched him in Dr Quinn and Stagecoach, he underplays his characters and it adds a level of mystery and charm - no Lawrence Olivier, but pretty good
He had an awesome role in little house on the prairie too
@@lewisfraser4153 He has a good role in the movie “A Gunfight” too. It’s no Hollywood epic but it’s a good time for fans of old time westerns.
@@lewisfraser4153 He also was pretty good on an episode of Columbo. Guy was a real singer portraying a fictional singer.
Imagine being poor and your last name is Cash.
J A Z Z P E R imagine being unloved and your first name being cherish
Almost as bad as an amputee named Eileen
Im a Cash and we are all poor is fuck lol
@Skelter Lol im a tri lingual engineer i have no time to worry about bullshit like spelling. I leave that for the peasants like u
th-cam.com/video/a2krXq8fw90/w-d-xo.html
I've never seen this before I new he had a sense of humour it is funny he spoofed himself what a man rip Mr cash
He hated being signed with Columbia Records so he wrote this song so people would hate it but they liked it.
Nobody's gonna comment about how they said new instead of knew
@@aquadiamond4384 meh. Looks like they translated it so a little forgiveness.
This song makes me think of some of the stuff Alice Cooper was making in the 1970s.
I've been listening to Johnny Cash for 40 years and thanks to some clock app kids I've found a song I didn't know existed
I am 25. I’ve been listeing to Johnny Cash for the last 10 years, and I just heard this song on a God damn Instagram reel. Song is great either way.
Same here brother
@@aleksandarstankovic3202 Same here lol. Maybe ther system wanna bury this song , thats why we never heard it.
Same here! I think you can get old as a turtle , but you will always find Johnny Cash Songs that you didn’t know! It’s a little bit like he’s watching us from above at drops some songs from time to time 😂👍 God bless the man in black
lol same. Well 39 years for me.
Even johnny tried to write a bad song he couldn't do it cuz it wasn't in his blood
It sure is
His stories are too good
Wrong…this is an anwful song unfrontualteyl
He didn't write this.
@dongvermine It’s dumb but it’s not awful
0:46 something about Johnny Cash dressed in colors, carrying a guitar, ridiculous boots and a cape walking into the bank like he owns the joint made my day

How?

Wtf... i had heard about this but that still didn't prepare me.
nice name
@@bayoubandits8710 Thanks! Much love :)
He wrote this song because he was unhappy with his contract with Columbia. He thought "I'll make a horrible song so they will end my contract" exact opposite happened.

No matter what lyrics, Johnny Cash can make everything sound awesome!
he could sing "twinkle, twinkle" and still be awesome
0:43 Nothing will ever haunt me more than that grin.
Johnny may have hated the song but he’s obviously having fun
Na, I bet he was quite proud of it.. I would have been. . It was a deliberate shot to the top brass at Columbia Records and not only did it achieve its intentions but it's also one of the best songs he has ever put out IMHO. The Don King reference is simply priceless.
Nah fam, a boy named sue was a huge hit
He wrote and recorded this as an F U to Columbia Records when they told him they werent renewing his contract, but that he still owed em one more single. He wrote it thinking theyd never release it bc it was so goofy, but they did..
And it was a hit
And it was still genius lmao
So this was his "Cocksucker Blues" like the Rolling Stones' "F U" to ABKCO Records?
@@HueyRocks23 Precisely.
He didn't write it though.
The chorus part of "stick em up everybody I'm robbin this place" is so damn catchy I could listen to it over and over 2:15
I know right?
Same my favorite part
Commenting 4 years later to tell you that this song is now viral and you totally called it, it’s extremely catchy
@@MJsCookieFarmviral where?
@@RobK32 On youtube.
Lots of people are picking up their dog & racking its front paws like a shotgun while lipsynching to this song as the dog looks around in utter confusion.
Classic! I love it 💜 Have always loved Johnny's sense of humour - he wasn't afraid to be goofy and have fun, and share it with us. I could watch this again and again 👍😊
He intentionally wrote this song to be bad
The Renegade J somehow it’s still good tho
Same for me
Same here
I reckon it a great to.
Such a shame that Johnny Chicken passed away before I could experience one of his shows. Rest In Peace.
…but he tasted great with mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits!
Funny as...I've always liked the song.. Chicken in black 😂
I love that this is randomly trending on TikTok.
“Stick em up everybody I’m robbing this place, drop all of your money in my guitar case, and don’t nobody reach for that door.” Is my test to every friend of mine if they are cultured or not.
My butter milk is cultured
Dont nobody move and dont nobody reach for that door
OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO UNDERRATED. It's shame it'll probably get to people's recommendations in 10 years
Yeah that's the sad thing
Took 4 years for me.
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan and this actually my first time hearing this song. Love how comical he is in this video. Hahaha
Like if you knew this song before tiktok
Literally found this song 2 weeks before it blew up
I found it on TH-cam shorts does that count
Shoot I read it wrong
Who’s here in 2024? 🤔
Me. And those shorts of this song piss me off..they have no respect for the music. Still waiting to hear that chicken sing.

I love when you can tell an artist is enjoying themself. Some of the best work comes out of those moments.
I've never heard this song a day in my life, and I'm 33 lol. I love it!!!
This has instantly become one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. You can clearly see his dorky sense of humor in this.
I love the stick em up i'm robbing this place verse
Father Brown it was so on point loved how it rhymed
So catchy
That is called a chorus
Stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this place! Put all of your money in my guitar case! Don't nobody move, and don't nobody reach for that door!
This was one of my favorite songs growing up :D
That’s the chorus.
Classic...that was cool. I hope the chicken does a world tour soon.
He killed the chicken and ate it lol
I’m not kidding, I’ve been going through a rough patch in my life; but somehow this completely restored my faith in humanity.
Keep your head up man.
My little sister passed away a few months ago and this is the first thing to make me laugh. I love this
Love this, music is a great healer and comedy is also a great healer put both together and you have the perfect medicine😃 i hope you are both still doing well, theres always folk out there for you❤️❤️
Same
2:26 Didn’t know his voice could reach THIS octave-
My voice is, within a note or two depending on the day, the same bass/baritone range his is and he's only an octave up so it's sung at the high end of baritone.. It just seems like he jumps up two because he says it in a girly tone. It's rare he ever sings out of his usual range so it's seems that much more contrasted. He normally sticks to what he's most famous for... that booming, thundering radio voice that sounds like god and rattles everything through a good system like a heavy bass track.... :)
Cash's sense of humour was just as great as his talent
I remember when this song came out in the early 1980s. Got TONS of radio airplay at the time.
For two long years my head hurt bad
So a doctor checked me an he shook his head
He said I'm sorry to tell you
But your body's outlived your brain
He said I know this doctor in New York, son
And he'll fix you right up with a brand new one
So the head doctor met me
When I stepped down off of the train
He said we had this bank robber killed last night
His body's shot but his brain's alright
I'll give you a transplant, boy
And you'll be OK
I got my new brain in and I was feelin' great
I went right back to Nashville with no headache
But something strange happened
When I walked in the bank one day
I said stick 'em up ever'body I'm robbin' this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber in New York
Now the other night Roy Acuff called me
He said John I'd like for you to do the Opry
So I went out on the stage, but I couldn't sing
I got into a half a verse of "I Walk The Line"
And something snapped in this head of mine
I yelled "stick 'em up!"
Give me your money, your watches and rings
Well, I called New York and talked to that brain quack
And said Doc I gotta have my old brain back
He said I'm sorry there, Mr. Cash, but I can't do that
He said I put your brain in a chicken last Monday
He's singing your songs and makin' lots of money
And I got him signed to a ten-year recording contract
Now friends if you see me walkin' down the street
Remember what you see ain't necessarily me
And if I try to hold you up, don't pay me no mind
But when you got ten bucks that you can blow
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show
He's doin' fairs and concert dates
All up and down the line
I said stick 'em up everybody I'm robbin' this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said, why you're Johnny Cash
I said no ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber in New York
Well, I don't pay any income tax
You don't pay tax on money you steal
You oughta catch that Johnny Chicken show

TH-cam is like the "deep cuts" on the Album Rock radio stations from my youth . ..
Same here. It's a real learning experience, lol
i find it cool that Johnny Cash can take two words that dont rhyme and put them into a verse just fine. The way he sings it makes it work like the lines, "Last Monday" and "Lots of money".
I'll admit it's kind of a sloppy rhyme.....but his southern accent helps soften its harshness. Add his charisma and talent to that mix and the results are .... well.... badass!
Children : Ahah grown-up man wears cape and eats chicken
Adults : Was this juvenile farce really necessary to get out of his label record deal?
Hardcore fans : Ahah music legend wears cape and eats chicken
He didn’t want a brain transplant, but they changed his mind
Clever huh
By far his worst, but only to his standards... I'd still take this over any country song written in the last ten years.
Imagine being an extra for this "Oh cool I'm gonna be in a Johnny cash music video *Cash turns up in bright yellow spandex* wait what?....."
Johnny was good at predicting today's musicians..they rob people, have no brain and pay no taxes. Chicken in black, mmm... lol
