System of a Down: Chic 'N' Stu Meaning
Chic 'N' Stu Lyrics
The door is
closed,
The lights are out,
And the butter's
getting hard.
What a splendid pie,
Pizza-pizza
pie,
Every minute, every second,
Buy, buy, buy, buy,
buy,
What a splendid pie,
Pizza-pizza...

Hey, I can't be assed to make an account for this.
Chic N' Stew is about drugs.
Every minute, every second, BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY.
It's like, drug addicts want their drugs. So they're gonna be buying a lot of it. -
The entire first part are things Chick Hearn (RIP) used to say.
"Door's closed, lights out, butters getting hard, and the jello's jigglin'!!"
This meant the game was 'in the bag'. So yeah, they were probably watching a Laker game (live in LA), Chick said his famous lines, and then they got bombarded by Pizza Hut, Dominos, and Papa John's commercials.
Everytime I watch a sporting event and they splash endless pizza ads on the screen I think of this song :-) -
I agree with the interpretation about Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz, and about turning off the lights and closing the door, but I think the "butter's getting hard" is about him checking to see what there is to eat in the refirgerator and then maybe seeing a pizza commercial foe pizza and he immeadiately wants it so he leaves the refrigerator door open because he's in such a hurry to get the pizza and so the butter's getting hard

"Title of the song refers to Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz, the Los Angeles Lakers broadcasters, but it also is a pun on "Chicken Stew", keeping with the food topics of the song. The first verse "This ballgame's in the refrigerator" refers to what Hearn said when the Los Angeles Lakers were in control during the game. The song itself is believed to be about advertising creating an artificial need for a product, using pizza as an example." that's what the guy above me sent in, which i believe is a good interpretation :)
-
since the first part's confusing, im gonna say my interpretation..
first, "ballgame's in the refrigerator," a guy gets hungry when hes watching a game (look down at the comment about Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz)
second, "door's closed" the guy goes out the door to order pizza
third, "light's are out" he turns off the lights before he leaves
fourth, "butter's getting hard" he wants to hurry up and get fresh pizza cuz hes hungry (i may be wrong about this part)
that's my interpretation :P -
This song is about people buying things. They don't know what to spend with their money, so they buy it on things such as pizza. That is what I have heard.
-
It's about pizza being advertised constantly.
-
There's no reason why Serj or Daron couldn't have just written it about pizza, that's the coolest way to write. I remember Serj saying we all face adversities and that's what they write songs about. Whether that adversity is something as simple as the munchies then we write about it. It wasn't verbatim that but it was very similar. So yeah there's no real meaning, it's just a good song.
-
Such a funny song... First, it's called Chic 'n' Stu, which just translated into Chicken Stew, which is funny because the song's about pizza (can't wait for weird al to make a song called Pizza Pizza Pie and its all about chicken stew, lol). My opinion is that the song was first written when Serj or someone was hungry and wanted pizza, but some actual political meaning was added so it wasn't just about pizza. That meaning is what above posts have mentioned, how advertisement makes us want to buy stuff because of computer animation and all that good stuff bout therapy.
-
This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway
-
yea this song is basically about how someone can just see an advertisement and think right away that they need that product and they go so crazy over it that they need therapy.......pizza was just an example
-
I also think it's just about brainwashing advertising, but what's the intro about (ball game's in the refrigerator, door's closed. Lights are out, butter's getting hard)...?
-
I assume it's about advertising. Has anyone else noticed how obnoxiously repetitive and wholesome pizza commercials always are?
-
I think this is litarally a song about pizza....thats all
:)
