I thought folks here would appreciate this. A Shanghai is a Cochin, I believe.
There is a song called the Shanghai Rooster Yodel by Cliff Carlisle from the 1930s.
Here are some of the lyrics:

Shanghai said you ought to hear that dominecker lie (2x)
She said she loves no one but me but I caught her with another shanghai.
You can hear a little of the song by Cliff Carlisle here:
