"Chicken Man" is a tune composed in 1975 by Alan Hawkshaw used in two popular British TV series since the 1970s.
After being replaced by a completely different theme tune, it made a reappearance in the final series of Grange Hill in 2008.
An entirely different arrangement of "Chicken Man" was also used as the theme to early series of the British quiz show Give Us a Clue, despite the fact that it was already being used on Grange Hill.
Since then, the tune has been used as a jingle for the El Árbol supermarket chain in Spain throughout 2010, on UK adverts for Paddy Power bookmakers in 2013 and McVitie's DeliChoc in 2015 and as the musical bed for the feature "Homework Sucks" on Simon Mayo's BBC Radio 2 show in the UK.
[citation needed] It was also sampled by Welsh hip hop group Goldie Lookin Chain on the song "Charmschool" from their 2005 album, Safe as Fuck.
