"Steve's Lava Chicken: Minecraft Movie Song Hits UK Chart"

May 06,25(10 months ago)

If you're among the many who have ventured into a cinema recently to watch A Minecraft Movie, you'll likely remember Jack Black's short yet memorable song celebrating the "lava chicken" moment around halfway through the film.

Black, who portrays Steve, delivers a song titled "Lava Chicken" as Jason Momoa and others watch a chicken cook after falling into lava. Despite its brief 34-second duration, the song has gone viral across social media platforms.

Remarkably, "Lava Chicken" has debuted at No. 21 on the UK's official chart, setting a record as the shortest song ever to chart. According to the Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA), the UK's digital entertainment and retail association, "Streaming + virality are reshaping hits."

PlayJack Black is no stranger to viral video game songs. His performance of "Peaches," a 95-second romantic ode to Princess Peach in *The Super Mario Bros. Movie*, which he both sang and co-wrote, made it onto the Billboard Hot 100. This marked the first time a song from Black's solo career landed on the list. Previously, he debuted at No. 78 with the 2006 song *"The Pick of Destiny"* as part of Tenacious D.

Other short songs that have charted include the 64-second "Spider Pig" from The Simpsons Movie in 2007 and Liam Lynch's 2002 punk hit "United States of Whatever," which runs for 86 seconds.

"Lava Chicken" isn't the only viral sensation from A Minecraft Movie. Clips of enthusiastic cinemagoers have spread rapidly across platforms like TikTok, with some even bringing live chickens to screenings of the film.

For more on A Minecraft Movie, we've covered how the movie team utilized a private server for gameplay. The film has already surpassed $700 million at the global box office and is poised to become the highest-grossing video game movie of all time.
