A rubber chicken cover of Africa by Toto has gone viral – and quite right too
David Foley, otherwise known as @oo_mr_chicken_oo on TikTok or Mr. Chicken on iTunes, has been gaining a massive following for his covers of popular songs, played on squeaky toys – primarily a rubber chicken.
Queen fans may enjoy this unique version of Bohemian Rhapsody, for example. Or not.

Some might say that this cover of I Want it That Way by Backstreet Boys is better than the original, but we couldn’t possibly comment.

People constantly send requests for particular songs – and this is a recent one.
David obliged, and it’s – well, just listen for yourself.

It went down about as well as a rubber chicken covering an iconic Toto song ever could, causing TikTok users to leave comments like these.
It even made it onto Twitter.
