A video has recently begun to go viral on Twitter, garnering over 1,800 retweets in less than 24 hours.
The video, which was uploaded by Takahara Suiko, a local musician and vocalist of the band The Venopian Solitude, shows some behind-the-scenes footage of the band’s new Hari Raya song. The twist? They used chicken pieces and nuggets from KFC as the instruments for their song!
The song appears to be a collaboration between the band and KFC, and is called ‘Raya Selamba‘. Let’s just say that it definitely put us in the Raya mood!
KFC x TVS : BEHIND THE SONGWRITING
Kami diusulkan untuk membuat lagu yang menggunakan KFC dan juga Makey-makey, yakni alat yang digunakan untuk trigger butang(bunyi) pada laptop.
Omputih kata 'don't play with your food'
Kita tambah 'unless it's for music lol'#rayaselamba pic.twitter.com/9LFbOAZUUg— . (@takaharasuiko) May 27, 2019
Further tweets explained that they used a tool called Makey Makey to turn the chicken into instruments.
Of course, Takahara went on to clarify that none of the food used in the song-making process was wasted and that all the wires and devices were thoroughly cleaned before and after they were used.
The video has received a lot of positive responses from Malaysian Twitter users, many of whom left comments praising the band’s originality.
