Sid's Hatchery ….and our winner and our second- and third-place runner-ups will receive as a special prize---- (CHICKEN) ---- yes, this handsome chicken from Sid's Hatchery, home of the famous Plymouth Rockette Performing Show Chicken…..take it from me, Carson Wyler, it's a great thing to have talent but there's nothing that works with an audience like having a performing animal. You can have great material, costumes, lights, everything, but there comes a point in every performance when the audience thinks to itself, SS: Okay, fine…. but where's the chicken? GK: And that's when you want to have a Performing Show Chicken from Sid's…….(CHICKEN)…….this chicken can sing (CHICKEN DOES FIRST EIGHT BARS OF "DANNY BOY"), this chicken can dance (CHICKEN DANCING), this chicken can do a backflip (CHICKEN FLURRY), this chicken does impressions----- of Jimmy Stewart….. (JIMMY STEWART)…….of Jimmy Cagney(KIRK), of Maria Callas (CHICKEN SINGING)…….and the chicken does magic----- it pulls a rabbit out of a hat (POP)……. TR: Oy vey---- where am I? GK: Sorry. Pulls a rabbi out of a hat. ----I know that you young performers have a dream and you want to believe in yourself, in your vision, your dream, your art, and that's fine, and yet, the best show you ever went to ---- afterward, they're saying: SS: It was good. I liked it. It's only too bad there wasn't a chicken. GK: Sid's Hatchery, home of the Plymouth Rockette Performing Show Chicken. (CHICKEN SINGING) No chicken was harmed in the making of this commercial. (c) 2001 by Garrison Keillor |
