"Chic 'n' Stu" is the opening track from the record called Steal This Album! by System of a Down.

[edit] Live version

The first time the song was played was during a live show called "The French Revolution" in Paris, France on May 24, 1999. It had a few minor lyric changes and Serj Tankian sang the song by himself as opposed to later versions, in which Daron Malakian also sings a few verses. The song was only played until the end of the breakdown. The name of the song was unknown, so the fans named it "Pizza Pie". Daron introduced the name of the song during a show in London, England on December 20th, 1999. Bootleggers named it "Chicken Stew", because the pronunciation was the same as "Chic 'n' Stu". The song also featured vocals from Daron during the performance at that concert.

[edit] Leaked version

The song also leaked to the Internet on the unofficial Toxicity II bootleg in early 2002[1], containing songs stolen from the recording studio of the band during the recording of their second album, Toxicity. The song was named "Therapy" and "Chick 'n' Stu"[2] by the bootleggers who leaked the songs. This version had no vocals from Malakian.
