That's the sound of sizzle-ing coming to Minecraft. Jack Black's earworm "Lava Chicken" from A Minecaft Movie has officially been adapted into the game. While this isn't the first thing from the movie to leap over to the game, it's obvious that Mojang has decided to incorporate more of the movie's cartoonish humor.
Originally spotted by Dexerto, the song is part of Minecraft's latest update and remixed by EDM duo Hyper Potions. So, how do you get it? Players need to find and defeat a chicken jockey in the game (another part of the movie that became instantly memetic). However, if there are no chickens around, a spawned zombie has a 0.25% chance of being a chicken jockey; if there are chickens around, this is bumped to 0.4875% (via PC Gamer).
At 34 seconds, Jack Black's song from A Minecraft Movie became the shortest ever to crack the Billboard Hot 100 over the summer--a record previously held by, well, Jack Black for "Peaches" on the Super Mario Bros. Movie. soundtrack.
A Minecraft Movie quickly became one of the most successful video game movies ever made, only trailing Super Mario Bros., with a sequel being planned.
Part of the film's success can be attributed to the unexpected popularity of the chicken jockey moment. This particular scene struck a chord with younger audiences, sparking a viral trend across theaters. Kids would enthusiastically shout "chicken jockey" at the screen during the scene, turning screenings into near-chaotic events.
In some instances, the excitement escalated to the point where theater staff had to call the police to restore order. One of the most memorable incidents involved a fan who brought a live chicken to the theater to join in on the fun--an act that quickly became legendary among fans.
