Stray Kids-'Cheese' Song Analysis

Cheese is one of my favourite SKZ songs! Such a bop and I love the hidden messages in the lyrics. As for listing off the fingers: the main lyrics result in a thumbs up, but in the background the adlibs are mentioning another sequence of putting certain fingers down which results in flipping someone off lol. Fun fact, the surname Choi (최) is pronounced more like chwe (IPA: tɕʰwe) in Korean so the name VERSACHOI is a pun, it's pronounced Versace :)

It's funny that you mention how long it would have taken to do the sticky notes, because they actually did it AGAIN. There was an episode of SKZ Code (Eps 31 and 32) where they were divided into pairs and put in customized escape rooms and one of the rooms was Cheese MV themed. They covered that room in yellow sticky notes too 😂 I have heard people say that the section where they tell you to fold some of your fingers, they are singing to make a thumbs up in the main lyrics, but when they repeat in the background it makes a rude gesture instead. I tried to verify it now by looking up the words for the fingers and listening but I don't know if I can hear exactly what they are. I do think the lyric video was a little wrong, or it included the background vocals without indicating so. I also did NOT get credit for identifying the time signature 😭I'm gonna flunk out of music school. I tried but there's so much happening my brain doesn't know what to focus on.

Oh it could be cool to do Hans Lee Mujin this month and then do the Han solo songs deep dive that was suggested im july😍 Also love the reaction! I could really feel how you where getting excited 😂

I feel like this song has such a unique vibe because the lyrics are silly but its also really intense at the same time

You know its good when Tim gets slightly lost just trying to figure out song form😂😂

Felix just listing cheeses is the ultimate proof that everything sounds great with his voice even if hes just reading a grocery list😂😂

They definatly got a lot of critic (and sometimes still do). Before Gods Menu they where basicly considered a flop and then people didnt like their useage of "noise" and general sound

All the little weird lyric you where wondering about are references to previous songs: -DU DU DU DU DU DU" (chorus of "God's Menu") - "What's so funny about a headache?" (hook of "Side Effects") -"What's so funny about pigeon and magpie?" (Changbin's verse in "God's Menu") -What's so funny about cawing of a crow?" (crow sound in "Awkward Silence") So its really them saying "you think our music is funny? Here we made you song about cheese so now laugh"
