The Chicken is an instrumental funk tune written by Pee Wee Ellis. It was the B-side to James Brown's 1969 single The Popcorn. It became more well-known after Jaco Pastorius covered it. Notable versions were by Ellis and Pastorius. Since then it has become a jazz-funk standard with many artists performing it.
