Do the Chicken! - A pre-punk legend once recorded a song about something chickens produce, which isn't eggs. Who used to play in a very influential New York band, wasn't American and once butchered a chicken live on stage?
The correct answer is 'John Cale'
Indeed, the Welshman John Cale sang about chicken's biggest by-product which isn't eggs on the EP "Animal Justice" (1977). Though it wasn't actually about chicken manure, but about cowardice. That same year Cale and his band played a gig in Croydon, England, when he cut up a dead chicken during a rendition of Elvis Presley's "Heartbreak Hotel" and threw the severed parts into the audience. The pogoing punks at the front stopped dead in their tracks and Cale's vegetarian drummer (Joe Stefko) and bass player (Mike Viseglia) walked off. The song about chicken manure was a reaction to their desertion.

Music Question 5
Instrument Riddles. - This instrument commonly has two sets of tuning slides for the valves.
The correct answer is 'french horn'
It has two sets because of the thumb valve (aka trigger). The horn is actually two instruments in one: a short horn in Bb and longer horn in F. When you depress the trigger, the air is cut off from a part of the tubing, thus creating the shorter, higher-pitched horn. Each of the two horns has its own set of tuning slides to fine-tune the notes used with and without the trigger.
