Style
Travis-Atreo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Young and tender not so wise like some old stewing hen
Because she's done seen a lot of ever rooster in the flock
So I like my chicken fryin' size when I get my skillet hot
Well I like my chicken fryin' size chicken just can't be beat
Nothing in the world can satisfy like that good old chicken meat
Now the south has brought to fame that frying chicken's name
So I like my chicken fryin' size and I bet that you'll agree
A pretty little chicken passing by sure looks heavenly
From the day that I was born until Gabriel blows his horn
If I don't like chicken fryin' size brother roasting ears ain't corn
Well I like my chicken fryin' size just when they're good and grown
I know it would be oh so nice to have a chicken of my own
I resist as long as I can stealing from another man
But I must have chicken fryin' size when I put em in the fryin' pan
Well I like my chicken fryin' size when they're hangin' around my pen
Young and tender not so wise like some old stewing hen
Because she's done seen a lot of ever rooster in the flock
So I like my chicken fryin' size when I get my skillet hot
Travis-Atreo's song Style, is actually a cover of a classic country song called "Chicken Fry" by country legend, Mack Vickery. The lyrics describe the singer's preference for young and tender chickens, as opposed to older and tougher ones. He explains that he enjoys the taste of chicken meat and that he prefers them "fryin' size" when he makes them for a meal. The song also mentions the traditional Southern dish of fried chicken and acknowledges the popularity of the dish in the South.
The lyrics of "Style" are lighthearted and playful, with a catchy melody that makes it easy to sing along. However, some critics point out that the song can also be interpreted as objectifying women, with the lyrics comparing young and inexperienced women to young chickens. This interpretation is problematic, as it reinforces harmful stereotypes about women and their value based on their age and appearance.
Overall, the song is a fun and catchy tune that celebrates a southern delicacy. However, it's important to be aware of the problematic subtext in the lyrics and to avoid perpetuating harmful stereotypes about women.
