Far better than the original! And more authentic emotions!

This is only made better by the fact that I’ve not heard the original.

This is what the internet is FOR. I’m saving this for a rainy day when my world needs brightening!. OK, so every day.

I concur, this is what the internet was created for. However, I suspect some auto-tuning was used here.

What is the round thing in the frame hanging on the wall on the right?. Has Mister Chicken gone platinum? Yay!
I’m thinking they did a digital sample of one chicken squeeze, then played the whole thing on a keyboard, while the chicken was “beak-syncing”.
Hope I didn’t ruin the magic for anyone! lol

The chicken squeaks on both out-breaths (squeeze) and in-breaths (release). The timbre is distinctly different between the outs and the ins. Additionally, if you listen to the bridge around :46 the squeaking is outside of the comfortable range of the toy and the tone is yet more distorted. So if they did use a sampler, there was serious attention to detail: it would need to be performed on two different keyboards using a set of samples for different pitch ranges.
