Everyone should hear ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ performed on rubber chickens at least once in their lifetime – 17 reactions from way up the pecking order
In the world of music it’s a rare thing indeed for a cover version to be better than the original and it’s always a controversial subject.
Is Jimi Hendrix‘s version of All Along the Watchtower better than the Bob Dylan original? Is Soft Cell‘s cover of Tainted Love better than Gloria Jones‘ Northern Soul classic? How about Hallelujah? Is Jeff Buckley‘s soaring rendition better than Leonard Cohen‘s more restrained original? (The answers, by the way, are NO, MAYBE and NO).
Well, how about this, then? Here’s Brazilian musician Lord Vinheteiro‘s take on that Guns ‘N’ Roses rock classic, Sweet Child O’ Mine, performed on rubber chickens.

This is why the internet of things was invented. Not to share knowledge or inspire but to watch a man in full white tie and tails play rock music on squeaky chickens. My life is complete 😎😎😎😎😎
