Give me a C C
Give me an H H
Give me an I I

If your friends are chic

We hope it's not too hard a task

Get up off of your seat and repeat
Chic
The lyrics to Chic & Sister Sledge's song "Chic / Chic Cheer" are all about embracing your individuality and being confident in your own sense of style. The repeated use of the word "Chic" is not just a reference to the band's name, but is also a nod to the idea of being fashionable and trendy.
The lyrics ask listeners to join in and "strut" their stuff, encouraging a sense of boldness and self-assurance. The repeated call-and-response of "Give me a C C / H H / I I / C C" is reminiscent of a cheer or chant, further emphasizing the idea of coming together and celebrating what makes us unique.
The final verse of the song is a playful request for listeners to stand up and join in the fun. By asking them to "repeat" the call-and-response, the lyrics are inviting everyone to be a part of the Chic community and to celebrate their own sense of style and individuality.

We keep it uplifting
The game is moving
The party is shifting
-To the dance floor
Ladies come and get some more
Of the thing I call

Shake yo rump
And jump
If you like the new sound
Ladies come around

Tell your haters that you don't give a damn
Like uncle sam

That keeps you sunk
And drunk
And drowning

@tharris19 Same goes with the applause sound that was previously used for the “133 Authentic Sound Effects” 3-LP set which were later sampled by many including:
1. “Revolution 9” by the Beatles
2. “Me & Mrs. Jones” by the Dramatics
And then later sampled by Strawberry Shortcake including:
1. “The Circus Is Coming To Town”
2. “The Alphabet Circus”
And the rest are from the “Strawberry Shortcake Alphabet Record” album.
