One of the goofiest moments in ‘ A Minecraft Movie ’ has suddenly become one of its prouder moments through "Steve's Lava Chicken”. It is a ridiculously catchy song that's already burning up the charts on Genius and other places.
The birth of a bizarre banger
Performed by Jack Black , who else? The quintessential voice of Steve himself, the song first erupts in a scene where Steve goes on to create something utterly bizarre but so tempting in the game-a dish called Lava Chicken. What ingredients you may ask? As per the verses, a bucket of lava plus one chicken would do!
Ridiculously simple, but purportedly so spicy as to be able to melt one's taste buds. With lines such as, "La-la-la-lava ch-ch-ch-chicken," and "Ooh, it's a lava attack - so super spicy," the song is just pure chaos, bringing Black's unique comedic flavoring in the midst of a high-energy rock pulse. The song was co-written by the director, Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite), and Black, and produced by the latter's longtime collaborator John Spiker and is part of the official soundtrack for A Minecraft Movie. It has already gone viral all over the net.
Charting success beyond the screenThis week, the tune " Steve's Lava Chicken " has surged up the Genius lyric charts, with tens of thousands of fans searching for the entire lyrics to sing or meme it. Already, fans are remixing the song, creating and animating Minecraft-style music videos, and even trying to cook their own versions of the infamous dish.
Box office blaze
The popularity of the song is happening as A Minecraft Movie makes an explosive debut at the box office. With a jaw-dropping $301 million global haul in just three days, the PG action-comedy is already the second-biggest earners for the year, right behind Captain America: Brave New World, and it is expected to surpass that title soon. On the global stage, it is already the second-largest opening ever for a video game adaptation, behind The Super Mario Bros. movie, making this an enormous victory for Warner Bros. and Legendary.
All the way from quirky soundtrack novelty to a viral hit, "Steve's Lava Chicken" is proof that sometimes all you need is a lava bucket, a chicken, and Jack Black to conjure some unforgettable magic.
