The rooster's personality is based on the personality of the Black detective, John Shaft, from the 70's Movie "SHAFT". Shaft was a 1971 American crime action film directed by Gordon Parks and written by Ernest Tidyman and John D. F. Black.
Some of the lyrics from the soundtrack.
***********************************************
Who's the black private dick
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
(Shaft!)
Ya damn right!
Who is the man
That would risk his neck for his brother man?
(Shaft!)
Can ya dig it?
Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
(Shaft!)
Right on!
You see this cat, Shaft is a bad motha-
(Shut your mouth!)
But I'm talkin' about Shaft!
(Then we can dig it!)
He's a complicated man,
But no one understands him but his woman
(John Shaft!)
