    I saw The Fools open for The Knack at the Uptown Theater in Chicago in 1979. My favorite part of The Fools' performance of this song was when a guy in a chicken costume came out and chased lead singer Mike Girard around the stage with a meat cleaver. I just about wet 'em.
    In the parts of the song where the band would say, "Qu'est-ce que c'est", that is sometimes replaced with "wtf?" On the radio (and in this TV performance) that is alternately replaced with clucking and crowing. When the band played the song live, of course, the band did not have to worry about such edits. The Fools and The Knack was a great show!

      I heard the unedited version of this on Chicago more than once and couldn't believe my ears. I think it might have been 'XRT.

    Without all the bad spelling and (numerous) other mistakes:
    I can't seem to face up to the facts,
    I'm tense and nervous and I can't relax,
    This Colonel Sanders job is getting me down,
    A crazy chicken chasing me all over town
    A psycho chicken
    Better run run run run run run run away
    Oooh oh oh oh aye aye ayee
    I don't know just what to do,
    He's got a grudge against Frank Perdue!
    He's clucking a lot, but he's not saying anything,
    I plucked him once! Why pluck him again?
    A psycho chicken
    Better run run run run run run run away
    Oooh oh oh oh aye aye ayee
    Colonel Sanders wants to cook his goose,
    But psycho chicken's still on the loose,
    They caught him down in Ohio,
    They cut off his head and they put him in the oven,
    They put him in a box right next to a road,
    Put some cole slaw round his legs and someone took him home,
    Ate him for lunch and it tasted real fine,
    But the guy who ate him, he just lost his mind!
    Psycho chicken,
    Qu'est-ce que c'est?
    Better run run run run run run run away
    Oooh oh oh oh
    A psycho chicken
    Better run run run run run run run away
    Oooh oh oh aye aye aye aye aye aye ayeee.
