Theme song

In GTA San Andreas, the companies two theme songs used in their somewhat odd radio advertisments are below. The first is as follows:

Cock a doodle doo it's time for chicken!
Cock a doodle doo it's time for a feast!

Eat a 90 piece bucket you can tell.... he's been to cluckin bell!

The chicken is a bird with a tiny brain,
So we assume he doesn't feel any pain

We shrink their heads and we breed 'em fast,
six wings, forty breasts, then they're gassed,

Cock a doodle doo we're psychotic crazies,
Cock a doodle doo factory farming's insane,

We denied it all before our stock price fell,
Come down to cluckin bell!

Cluckin' Bell: If you enjoyed it, the chicken didn't die in vain!

And the second:

Cock-a-doodle-do, we're a huge corporation,
Cock-a-doodle-do, and we can't be stopped,
All you protesters can go to hell,
It's time for Cluckin Bell!

From the factory farmer to your plate,
The chicken's life is a sorry state,
It's pumped full of chemicals, but what the hell,
They even make my breasts swell!

Filled full of hormones, so they get fat,
At least we no longer slip in a rat,
I love chicken with a shitty smell,
And that's why I love Cluckin Bell!

Cluckin' Bell: Suffering never tasted so good!

Trivia

  • In certain Cluckin' Bell restaurants in GTA San Andreas, cups with the Burger Shot logo can be seen on cup dispensers.
