#JohnnyCash #TheChickeninBlack #Officialvideo
[Chorus:]
I said "Stick 'em up everybody, I'm robbing this place
Drop all of your money in my guitar case
Don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door
A lady said, "Why, you're Johnny Cash!"
I said, "No ma'am, I'm the Manhattan Flash
And I am the best bank robber in New York - Hudba
And Johnny Chickens biggest hit was "I squawk The Line".
this deserves way more likes than it got
I think his biggest hit is "Chicken Sang Bass".
25 minutes to fry.
The Cash in black
One peck at a time
Johnny Cash Out here dropping music videos from the grave but I can’t get a text back
Legendary
10,000 gold coins and maybe I can get to text back
Ain’t no grave can hold his body down
Never knew he did music videos LOL I'm pleasantly surprised. Tell me there's a music video for _One Piece at a Time_ 🙏🏼
@@justacinnamonbun8658 there's a music video for One Piece at a Time
Most people: Its so hard to make a good song and join a record label
Johnny Cash: Damn it it's so hard to make a bad song so I can get out of a record label.
True
He tried making a bad song and here I am addicted to it.
the record label got him out and this was his "good bye" as he wrote in his memories.
Not sure where this story got started but it's not true. He wasn't trying to get out of his Columbia contract, They were legitimately looking for a novelty to song to try to recapture some of the buzz. It didn't work. It was basically the last straw for Columbia.
I haven't been this impressed since Disco Duck 😀
A drug-fueled sense of humor is the best.
He's so charismatic he could make a vigor testing machine burst into flames
Could make a deathclaw blush!
He could make frank horrigan cry
He could make legate lanius reconsider war
So... Either Johnny is posting from the grave, or the chicken has his account now
Hey, ain't no grave gonna hold ol' Johnny Cash down
Yeah, it's the chicken
😅😆🤣😂
Damn Chicken
I'll put my bids to chicken... That's alive ya know.
The weirdest part of this was seeing Johnny Cash wearing yellow
That's what I was thinking too
Come to think, this is the first time I've seen him wear something other than black.
That wasn't Johnny cash, that was the Manhattan flash
Agreed; I didn't know everything was all right ;)
Henry Bechtel well after all hes the man in black
This is a certified hood classic
get off youtube lil bro
🤡
Did your daddy tell you that?
@@PumaLyn ask your mom
@@New_LoJack I did. She said that you're a racist SOB.
I've been listening to Johnny Cash for 40 years and thanks to some clock app kids I've found a song I didn't know existed
I am 25. I’ve been listeing to Johnny Cash for the last 10 years, and I just heard this song on a God damn Instagram reel. Song is great either way.
Same here brother
@@aleksandarstankovic3202 Same here lol. Maybe ther system wanna bury this song , thats why we never heard it.
Same here! I think you can get old as a turtle , but you will always find Johnny Cash Songs that you didn’t know! It’s a little bit like he’s watching us from above at drops some songs from time to time 😂👍 God bless the man in black
lol same. Well 39 years for me.
This is the first time I have seen Mr Cash just foolin' around. Enjoyed it very much.
He did an impersonation of Elvis in the 50's so there were other opportunities.. :D
He has a good sense of humor
anybody know the yr this came out?
valkor73 ‘twas released in ‘84
@@TheArmchairPriest thanks
First time hearing this. Didn't know this song existed.
it is... quite surprising
He purposely tried to make this song a bad one due to his record label treating him Bad.
@pasquale davino Say what now? 🤔
He was in a Colombo movie many years ago accused of killing his wife with a parachute, 😁
@pasquale davino It is basically ¨A Boy named Sue¨ with a little different chorus.
Johnny Cash is a legend that people don't appreciate. He had a messed up life but ended up making it out alright. I hope he is happy in heaven.
I’m sure he is! He’s my real life hero! And one thing is for sure! His songs make me happy!
Bs
So basically the reason he made this song was Johnny Cash Shitposting
Yeah he's outlaw country early rockabilly and rock. So he was going against the norms laid down ny the Opry the center of country music in the country.
WHAT😭
@@josephbilling6445 nah, there's a bugger story to this song, and it's hilarious
A boy named sue lol... he had a sense of humour
Pretty much man. It led him to Rick and got us his final album before he went to be with June again.
The best Weird Al song Weird Al never released
lmaoooooo
Nahhh Ray Stevens

@@kathrynricke1905 beat me to it. Ray is great
I only know only one song J C has no business singing it's "they call me the breeze by R.VANZANT.HIS SON did not help!
Johnny Cash’s acting is actually pretty good in this video, very animated and expressive. It captures the silly tone perfectly
He has been in some good movies to
When I was a bigger Cash nut I watched him in Dr Quinn and Stagecoach, he underplays his characters and it adds a level of mystery and charm - no Lawrence Olivier, but pretty good
He had an awesome role in little house on the prairie too
@@lewisfraser4153 He has a good role in the movie “A Gunfight” too. It’s no Hollywood epic but it’s a good time for fans of old time westerns.
@@lewisfraser4153 He also was pretty good on an episode of Columbo. Guy was a real singer portraying a fictional singer.
I'm glad that new Tiktok trend has post-millennials listening to actual country music.
YES!!!!!
ive listened to johnny cash for ages but i learned of this song of tik tom tbf
Is save a horse not real country music?
Im 17 and i have listened to him for about 7-8 years and my father was the first to introduce me in his music. So for me its hard to imagine that anything other than Johnny Cash is country
Stick em up, everybody I'm robbing this place, drop all your money in my guitar case, don't nobody move and don't nobody reach for that door...so many awesome tik tok videos ... legends...
Who’s here in 2024? 🤔
He literally couldn't make a bad song if he tried, apparently...
Nope all of his songs are great
Oh the irony! 😂
English, do you speak it?
@pasquale davino that's orrible grammar
@@lilsaintboyy9405 oh boy, that's more than orrible grammar alright
Imagine being poor and your last name is Cash.

Almost as bad as an amputee named Eileen

I’m not kidding, I’ve been going through a rough patch in my life; but somehow this completely restored my faith in humanity.
Keep your head up man.
My little sister passed away a few months ago and this is the first thing to make me laugh. I love this
Love this, music is a great healer and comedy is also a great healer put both together and you have the perfect medicine😃 i hope you are both still doing well, theres always folk out there for you❤️❤️
Let Me Guess, TikTok brought yall here, to listen to this awesome legend Johnny Cash 👍🔥
Yes lmao those rdr2 edits got me here 😭
Nope it was a clip on CZcams about a goat farm and its dog patrollers ❤
@@brigidconroy2111 I saw a short with a dude holding his cat like a gun
I've never seen this before I new he had a sense of humour it is funny he spoofed himself what a man rip Mr cash
He hated being signed with Columbia Records so he wrote this song so people would hate it but they liked it.
Nobody's gonna comment about how they said new instead of knew
@@aquadiamond4384 meh. Looks like they translated it so a little forgiveness.
The chorus part of "stick em up everybody I'm robbin this place" is so damn catchy I could listen to it over and over 2:15
I know right?
Same my favorite part
Commenting 4 years later to tell you that this song is now viral and you totally called it, it’s extremely catchy
@@MJsCookieFarmviral where?
@@RobK32 On youtube.
Lots of people are picking up their dog & racking its front paws like a shotgun while lipsynching to this song as the dog looks around in utter confusion.
Fun fact: You do, in fact, have to report stolen money to the IRS.
-irs agent
I think it's funny that the IRS is so openly ok with taking a piece of your ill-gotten gains. Might help explain the growing reluctance to prosecute theft 🤔😆
Bruh imagine minding your own business then Johnny Cash comes out of nowhere and mugs you with his guitar
We still miss Grandpa Cash😞
Hey I’d be pretty happy
dunno about you but I'm giving him my money
0:46 something about Johnny Cash dressed in colors, carrying a guitar, ridiculous boots and a cape walking into the bank like he owns the joint made my day
At 1:09 Johnny just eats the wrapper and the candy all together like it was nothing

Only Johnny Cash can write a kids song and still make it about armed robbery. Forever the greatest
The fact that this was considered a bad song back in the day goes to show how far we’ve fallen.
Johnny may have hated the song but he’s obviously having fun
Na, I bet he was quite proud of it.. I would have been. . It was a deliberate shot to the top brass at Columbia Records and not only did it achieve its intentions but it's also one of the best songs he has ever put out IMHO. The Don King reference is simply priceless.
Nah fam, a boy named sue was a huge hit
When you try to get kicked from you record label
And made a hit
This is what happens
He succeeded though~ his label dropped him after this.
Whos here in 2024

“Stick em up everybody I’m robbing this place, drop all of your money in my guitar case, and don’t nobody reach for that door.” Is my test to every friend of mine if they are cultured or not.
My butter milk is cultured
Dont nobody move and dont nobody reach for that door
Even when he tried to make a terrible song he came out with a masterpiece
Your painting sessions always relax me.
@@tacticalsweater5119 *SIMP*
I love that this is randomly trending on TikTok.
Johnny Cash: writes some of the most timeless, heartfelt and relevant lyrics of all time
Also Johnny Cash: Hahahaha chicken goes brrrrr
Even johnny tried to write a bad song he couldn't do it cuz it wasn't in his blood
It sure is
His stories are too good
Wrong…this is an anwful song unfrontualteyl
He didn't write this.
@dongvermine It’s dumb but it’s not awful
No matter what lyrics, Johnny Cash can make everything sound awesome!
he could sing "twinkle, twinkle" and still be awesome
I had no idea what this song was about and was not ready.
Johnny Cash: Yeah. This song is bad.
Everybody: I´m gonna stop you right there.
He wrote and recorded this as an F U to Columbia Records when they told him they werent renewing his contract, but that he still owed em one more single. He wrote it thinking theyd never release it bc it was so goofy, but they did..
And it was a hit
And it was still genius lmao
So this was his "Cocksucker Blues" like the Rolling Stones' "F U" to ABKCO Records?
@@HueyRocks23 Precisely.
He didn't write it though.
Such a shame that Johnny Chicken passed away before I could experience one of his shows. Rest In Peace.
…but he tasted great with mashed potatoes, gravy and biscuits!
Almost forgot to listen to this today
How can people diss this song!
Its just trying to make you laugh
I love the stick em up i'm robbing this place verse
Father Brown it was so on point loved how it rhymed
So catchy
That is called a chorus
Stick 'em up, everybody, I'm robbing this place! Put all of your money in my guitar case! Don't nobody move, and don't nobody reach for that door!
This was one of my favorite songs growing up :D
That’s the chorus.
I love how Johnny starts to laugh when the old lady hits him in the street :)
He was real for this one. This song feels like a coded message to his audience when he tells them that what you see isn't what you get. The audience isn't getting the authentic Johnny Cash from his place under the record labels, but something more akin to the chicken that happens to be performing his songs.
First time hearing this I already like it..
This has instantly become one of my favorite Johnny Cash songs. You can clearly see his dorky sense of humor in this.
Wtf... i had heard about this but that still didn't prepare me.
nice name
@@bayoubandits8710 Thanks! Much love :)
He wrote this song because he was unhappy with his contract with Columbia. He thought "I'll make a horrible song so they will end my contract" exact opposite happened.
C
......I wasn't prepared for that youtube name of yours,...........hmmm?
0:43 Nothing will ever haunt me more than that grin.
That hum at the end! 😂
Johnny Cash has amazing facial expressions and his vocals are glorious. God has acquired the best singer, playing in heavens!
No
OMG THIS VIDEO IS SO UNDERRATED. It's shame it'll probably get to people's recommendations in 10 years
Yeah that's the sad thing
Took 4 years for me.
I’m now obsessed with this song ❤
you young people always ruining good music
@@itsmekeith853 I’m 40 dude
The one and only. Thanks for the great music and RIP.
This goes to show you that the WORST song that Johnny Cash ever put out would be considered the BEST that these 'new country artist' could ever release.
Very Well Said ... i agree ...
I’m dyin’🤣🤣🤣
We are going Down !
“Today’s Country” music is going to hell today
@@iowafarmhandonajohndeere5902 what do you mean by going?? It's been there for the last decade or so
My father whent to a Johnny chicken show once he said it was amazing.
Wow
I'm sure it was eggcellent
it was crackin!
Who evers in charge of the Cash estate should release this song on a single now I'm telling you the verse is so damn catchy.
Some people can do comedy easily, some people can make wonderful music it just comes naturally. But do you realize how much talent Roy Clark had to be able to combine comedy and music so effortlessly.
i wish he made more music vids, he just seemed like a really deep and nice person 100% pure
Maybe when he was off the drugs
@@SirApollo89 tbf i know a decent ammount of ""junkies"" thats realy nice on or off drugs
@@alexanderandresen7361 nice I haven’t met anyone like that yet
@@SirApollo89 im on two different camps with 100+ NA member both current addicts and earlier addicts every year, people would be suprised if they just sat down and talked w em
Other than cheating on his first wife and abandoning his daughters, probably
Cash's sense of humour was just as great as his talent
Love when famous icons do stuff like this, shows they can have a laugh and don't take themselves too seriously
Or otherwise they're desperate and need to try anything
damn that chorus slaps
This song is still Better than the music nowadays.
I'm a huge Johnny Cash fan and this actually my first time hearing this song. Love how comical he is in this video. Hahaha
i find it cool that Johnny Cash can take two words that dont rhyme and put them into a verse just fine. The way he sings it makes it work like the lines, "Last Monday" and "Lots of money".
I'll admit it's kind of a sloppy rhyme.....but his southern accent helps soften its harshness. Add his charisma and talent to that mix and the results are .... well.... badass!
I love when you can tell an artist is enjoying themself. Some of the best work comes out of those moments.
2024 first time seeing this WOW ! R.I.P. big John
Classic! I love it 💜 Have always loved Johnny's sense of humour - he wasn't afraid to be goofy and have fun, and share it with us. I could watch this again and again 👍😊
He intentionally wrote this song to be bad
The Renegade J somehow it’s still good tho
Same for me
Same here
I reckon it a great to.
Johnny Cash purposely trying to write a bad song, and accidentally making a good one
Except it's not a good one.
Well, melodically it isn't really that interesting, lyrically is like a soft Tenacious D song, really cool in the eng
I really enjoyed this song
@@briteness you're such a bum
@@briteness except it is a good one*
I like that they used the real Roy Acuff.
My theory is that 'Ring of Fire' is a frightening glimpse into Johnny Chicken's future if he fails musically, that's why he's always so emotional when singing it.
Firstly, what the fcuk
Secondly, just when I thought I heard every one of his songs
It was a kind of a protest song in a way.. Johnny was trying to get himself fired from a record contract he no longer wanted to be tied to. So he deliberately wrote something he was sure no one would ever buy.
@@bombercountyblues I would buy
Johnny cash was the man .there will never be anybody like him .
Say what you want - I think it's a damn good song, like it!
He's been dead for nearly 20 years and he's still releasing music
Didn't he release this back in the day
Can't believe Waylon said to John that he looked like a buffoon in this, so he had it pulled. I loved it!
Ross Rollinson yeah he’s looks great!
Classic...that was cool. I hope the chicken does a world tour soon.
He killed the chicken and ate it lol
I can't believe how imaginative this song is, t's so rare in the music business.
It's right up there with "One piece at a time" and "The one on the right is on the left"
Imagine telling Cash at the time, that this song he wrote purposely bad will blow up and be a hit for him on the internet decades later😂
It's weird seeing the comedy side of Johnny Cash
I almost doubted it was him. Really weird seeing these bright colours on his back....
If you listen to his live album at Folsom Prison you can hear his comedy
@@thatdirtymichiganmusician1038 ye but this is on a whole other level compared to his jokes at Folsom and San Quinton
search When Uncle Bill Quit Dope
I mean a boy named sue is pretty funny
Funny as...I've always liked the song.. Chicken in black 😂
In his autobiography Johnny said he quickly grew to hate this song, calling it "intentionally atrocious” and refused to ever perform it again.
Who's here in 2024?
love the hum at the end while he eats chicken
Straight from Walk The Line. It was his way of making sure he was singing on key because Walk The Line changes keys several times.
yep, that’s why I thought it was funny
I remember when this song came out in the early 1980s. Got TONS of radio airplay at the time.
I love Johnny’s’ humor😂
That’s nice the bank set up the guitar case for him before he robbed em
Whenever I wake up I think
My body’s outlived my brain
Loving the new old content. Classic fav. Miss you legend.
Tictoc brought me here. I love Johnny Cash and can't believe I missed this one
Ig got me 😂😂😂
I saw a CZcams video that used this song so I decided to find the entire song. This is hilarious!
Good grief, youtube is revealing all sorts of Cash songs I never knew existed
CZcams is like the "deep cuts" on the Album Rock radio stations from my youth . ..
Same here. It's a real learning experience, lol
2:46 that mmmmmmm is comedy gold
Every artist needs a fun side 😂
he was the slim shady of his time
Johnny Cash can make any song sound good, that was just his MAGIC
Amazing. Cash is so good, he can't write a bad song even when he's trying to.
Holy crap. I am 38 and this is the first time I have seen this video. Such a good tune.
I swear Johnny Cash could sing about sitting on the toilet and I'd still listen to it.
