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

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

Black, portraying Steve, delivers a catchy tune called "Lava Chicken" as Jason Momoa and the rest of the cast watch a chicken sizzle from falling lava. Despite its brevity at just 34 seconds, the song has surged across social media, capturing the hearts of viewers everywhere.

Remarkably, "Lava Chicken" has debuted at No. 21 on the UK's official chart, setting a new record as the shortest song ever to chart. The UK’s digital entertainment and retail association, ERA, noted, "Streaming + virality are reshaping hits," highlighting the transformative impact of digital platforms on music popularity.

Other notable short songs that have charted include the 64-second "Spider Pig" from the 2007 Simpsons Movie and Liam Lynch’s 86-second punk hit "United States of Whatever" from 2002.

"Lava Chicken" isn't the only element from A Minecraft Movie to capture widespread attention. Clips of enthusiastic cinemagoers have spread like wildfire on platforms like TikTok, with some even bringing live chickens to screenings, adding a unique twist to the movie experience.
