Spitting Image was a satirical puppet show that ran on the United Kingdom's ITV television network from 1984 to 1996. The programme was produced by Spitting Image Productions for Central. In 1986, the Spitting Image puppets had a number one hit in the UK charts with The Chicken Song.
Other songs released by Spitting Image were I've Never Met A Nice South African (which was on the B-Side of The Chicken Song and was a savage indictment of the apartheid-ridden country), Santa Claus Is On The Dole, The Atheist Tabernacle Choir and We've Got Beards (which poked fun at ZZ Top).
