Bradley Wiggins Chicken Song.JPGVideo: Sir Bradley Wiggins and The Chicken Song goes viral
If you're of a certain age, you'll remember the Spitting Image TV show's hit single, The Chicken Song. Well, five-time Olympic gold medallist and 2012 Tour de France winner Sir Bradley Wiggins got his own version of that on Tuesday, when he posted a video to social media that showed his reaction to a waiter bursting into song while he was trying to finish his chicken meal.
With nearly 200 retweets and more than 500 likes on Twitter, the former Team Sky rider's tweeted video went viral - though happily, not in a Bird Flu kind of way.
His face is a picture, though.

If Spitting Image were still around today, given his sporting profile, it's likely a likeness of Wiggins would have popped up on the show at some point.
We'll just have to remember Gazza's tears instead.

Oh - that Chicken Song!
Does eating fast food where you've no idea of the ingredients give some form of plausible deniability if it's needed for anything? Just askin'
Depends. If you're Mick Rogers from Team Sky then the UCI will happily buy the dodgy burger excuse. If you're a Spaniard named Alberto they won't, and it'll cost you a Tour, a Giro and a two-year ban.
That chicken better be peng!
I doubt he'll be back, or hurry back, perhaps he'll take it back home to eat.
Is it too hard to record in landscape?
Never noticed it before, but, Chuck Norris?
What a big shoehorn you have
