'80s Classic 'Take on Me' Played on...Rubber Chickens

It’s not every day you see a world-class pianist trade elegance for a flock of squeaky rubber chickens—but that’s exactly what Lord Vinheteiro did, and the internet is still clucking about it as he played the ‘80s classic ‘Take On Me’ rubber chickens style! 

Known for his stunning piano arrangements that span classical masterpieces, video game scores, and cinematic favorites, Lord Vinheteiro usually delivers performances that leave listeners in awe. But this time? He ruffled a few feathers—in the best way possible.

Dressed in a sharp tuxedo, he sat poised beside the finest of red curtains… with a lineup of rubber chickens. Yes, chickens. And not just for decoration—these squeaky sidekicks became his instruments as he launched into a wildly unexpected rendition of the iconic song. And he’s actually well known for plucking a few chickens at a time for two songs like this and others like ‘Red, Red, Wine’ and more. 

The Rubber Chicken "Take on Me" Performance Will Make You Smile 

From the very first note, viewers knew they were in for something egg-straordinary. You can almost hear the words in the 1985 hit: 

Take on me (Take on me)
Take me on (Take on me)
I'll be gone
In a day or two 

As the melody unfolded, the performance only got more hilarious, especially when those chickens started hitting the high notes. One viewer couldn’t help but laugh, writing, “Finally my time to shiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnneeeeeeee!” Another chimed in, “It takes superhuman strength not to laugh at the last note as a musician. Sir, you have my utmost respect.”

And honestly? Same.

There’s something so refreshing about watching someone with incredible talent not take themselves too seriously. Lord Vinheteiro didn’t just play music—he hatched a moment of pure fun, using rubber chickens to make us laugh in his own version of ‘Take On Me’. In a world that can feel heavy, sometimes all it takes is a little silliness to lift our spirits and remind us to laugh again.

Because maybe we all need permission to be a little more playful… to let go of perfection… and to embrace the unexpected moments that make life so rich.

So go ahead—send this to a friend who needs a smile today. After all, laughter like this? It’s no chicken feed.
