Hey this is exciting. Every once in a great while, we come across a clip that has it all
great music, undiscovered talent, and a performance that fills you with pride in the country you love
and this is just that clip.
As you see, that is a chicken playing "America the Beautiful" on a keyboard.
The chicken's name is Jokgu. We tracked her down in Germantown, Maryland
and when we come back, we will hear music from Jokgu the Chicken, live!
Before the break, those of you in our studio audience and our audience at home had the chance
to witness something truly miraculous: a chicken that plays piano unaided.
She puts beak to key and makes some of the most beautiful poultry powered music
the world has ever heard, I think.
But that was on video, and the true test of chicken greatness - how well a hen can perform under pressure?
We're going to find out tonight. It's time for a special barnyard edition of Can They Do It Live?
Now this-- what you see here is Jokgu the Chicken. You saw and heard Jokgu's tribute to America
and now she pays tribute to the Universe itself with a song you know, a song your children know.
Here is Jokgu with her rendition of the classic, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". Jokgu?
Any time now, Jokgu will begin.
Jokgu?
The Jokgu's on us I guess...
Oh! Here we go.
I think Jokgu's distracted-- oh!
Wow! Wow! And that's just-- it's not over yet!
That was just the warm up. And now, ladies and gentlemen, here she is with her big hit single
The reason she's here with us tonight
Feel free to join Jokgu in song as she honors our nation with the great anthem
written by Katharine Lee Bates, "America the Beautiful," Jokgu, please!
Yeah just get right-- oh here we go.
Alright, Intermission.
Wow, I'm actually tearing up right now. This is so beautiful.
I think that's enough, right everybody?
That is unbelievable! Jokgu the Chicken! Wow. That was truly beautiful. Thank you so much
for teaching Jokgu these-- oh my goodness, oh my goodness!
She laid an egg! She laid a red, white, and blue egg!
It's incredible, it's a miracle! Jokgu, thank you on behalf of our nation, and thanks to Shannon and Say-Hee also.
Thank you very much.
