"Steve's Lava Chicken: Shortest Song to Hit UK Charts from Minecraft Movie"

If you've recently enjoyed the cinematic experience of *A Minecraft Movie*, you'll fondly recall Jack Black's brief yet impactful song celebrating the "lava chicken" scene about halfway through the film. In this memorable moment, Black, portraying Steve, performs a song titled "Lava Chicken" as Jason Momoa and other characters witness a chicken being cooked by falling lava. Despite its brevity, clocking in at just 34 seconds, the song has captured the internet's attention, going viral across various social media platforms.

Remarkably, "Lava Chicken" has made its mark on the UK's official chart, debuting at No. 21 and becoming the shortest song to ever chart. The Entertainment Retailers Association (ERA) highlights this phenomenon, stating, "Streaming + virality are reshaping hits." Jack Black is no stranger to the success of video game-related songs; his 95-second romantic ballad "Peaches" from *The Super Mario Bros. Movie* not only charted on the Billboard Hot 100 but also marked his first solo entry on the list. Previously, Black hit No. 78 with "The Pick of Destiny" as part of Tenacious D in 2006.

Other short songs that have charted include the 64-second "Spider Pig" from the 2007 *Simpsons Movie* and Liam Lynch’s 86-second punk hit "United States of Whatever" from 2002. Beyond the song, *A Minecraft Movie* has sparked a viral frenzy, with clips of enthusiastic moviegoers, some even bringing live chickens to screenings, spreading rapidly across platforms like TikTok.

For those eager to dive deeper into the world of *A Minecraft Movie*, the film's production team had their own private server to play on, adding an insider's touch to the project. The movie has already surpassed $700 million at the worldwide box office and is poised to become the highest-grossing video game movie of all time.
