Your song today is "Chop Suey!" System's monster single from 2001's Toxicity. Why this song? Because it never fails to get any crowd of a certain age singing every word at the top of their lungs before the end of the first chorus. And that's being generous -- before the end of the first verse might be more accurate. Either way, it's a song that begs the question: how many of the words do YOU remember?
