And yet, there are kids in the high school here who are well acquainted with "Chicken Heart [That Ate New York City]" because I use it for ghost stories for 4th and 5th grade groups, along with a creepy English story called "The Good Mother" (which I believe Neil Gaiman used as a basis for his kids' novel, Coraline), and one of a suite of 20th century American urban legends about crazed killers stalking teenagers.
The others, I tell. I bring a CD player and play the Cosby track in its entirety.
After the first year it became so popular that they would ask me if I was playing it again. Some classics, like chicken hearts preserved in vats of half blood, half sodium salicilate, never die.
