"Steve's Lava Chicken" is a song by Jack Black from the soundtrack for A Minecraft Movie. It was co-written by Black and the film's director, Jared Hess, and is 34 seconds long.
The song broke several records, particularly in the United States and the United Kingdom, as the shortest song to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart respectively. It also charted in other countries.
In the film, the song is used as a jingle for a scene where Black's character in the film, Steve, cooks a chicken by pouring lava onto it.
