The Cog is Dead - Midnight Snack [Original Song | System of a Down style] 

This sounds like a song someone sings when they've been on a diet for too long. Wait...

You nailed the style so well that when it started playing in spotify's new release playlist I briefly thought it really was a SOAD song, and when I looked at the artist, I thought "Huh, TCID is doing a cover of a SOAD song I don't know." I thought it was weird that SOAD had a song about craving fast food at midnight, but maybe it was a metaphor for consumerism. 😂 Well done. Now I need to go eat something.

Also i really hope Serj see's this because it it pure art and perfectly encapsulates the silliness of some of that SOAD's era. Also also** damn brooo look at those GAINS 💪

I swore I had heard this before and was losing my mind by *not* knowing where. It was Cog is Dead all along...it always was.

Now I need a snack. And it's not even midnight :D

You guys NAILED this style parody. Brilliant!

Wake up, babe. New Cog is Dead just dropped.

This is a great song! I'm so glad you went back and re-visited it after all that time. Thanks for sharing!

This is absolutely Weird Al level of quality and hilarity. Most impressive!

It's been a while since I heard a song this relatable. Honestly, it's like you were channeling the voice of my own stomach when I wake up at night hungry. This one's going on my personal playlist.

good thing I watched this while eating, else I'd want a snack

Heard the song at release time and my wife and I are already singing from different rooms "I could sure go for a snack, for a snack, for a snack I could sure go for a midnight snaaaaaack"

Metal isn't exactly my favorite genre, but in general all your music is entertaining and fun, and this is no exception

Good song. It really showcases your talent. Keep up the great work! Don't mind the Oil on the Floor.

Whoa, you're looking kinda fit in this. This is also a banger

Not midnight here but dinnertime oughta suffice.

Great, you're making us hungry for a Midnight Snack :D

Never have I heard a song so relatable in my whole life.

Everything about this is simply, yes.

"I'm so hungry right now" ... how hungry 🐴

What a good song to have a midnight snack too.

Holy crap, went from John Sprocket to Billy J. Armstrong. Lookin' great, man! 😍😍

I like it! I want a snack! Midnight madness! Good job John.

Meanwhile roommate upstairs: Dude, we have Ritz, we have peanut butter, you know what to do.

MY NEW ANTHEM!!!!!! This made my night!

Great homage!

Oh hell yeah Cog SOAD

So I listened to this on Spotify first and it was so hilarious. I had no idea what I was going into! Glad this is another song on food. And man! You look so different with make up. I’ll be waiting for you to do “Chicken Pot Pie” though! Been keeping a video of it since the day I heard it. ;)

A beautiful marriage of styles. Absolutely delicious.

Thx

OMG this is great

I love this song! Its so fun!

😆 Excellent !

Now, I wanna see the original recording, too.

God i love when you do shit like this ❤ always gives me Weird Al vibes! Btw you look really good with eyeliner!

Wow! I used to listen to System a lot about 16-18 years ago. This brought back some memories.

"I mean, I'm feeling a little peckish."

Fabulous!

Watching the video while enjoying a literal midnight snack of a bacon butty ^.^

That was a lot of fun! :D

Ok I'm pretty sure one of these guys just went "f***k it let's make a song about the midnight munchies. That'll be fun."

❤❤❤❤ I love it! You hit it on the head! Great job! ❤❤❤❤

Oh this is great, represents us all well lol

X3 I can't contain my laugh. This is great! :0 Fun SONG!!!! felt that trying to figure out what to do with lyrics. (I have lyrics, but is struggling with how to put it together.) o-o animating is really tempting, but I'm still working on backgrounds for webcomic. :.D On a somewhat unrelated note to this video. XP (doing research on miniatures, kinda like doll houses) :T Hogwarts is a miniature in their film. Tis my goal to make backgrounds like this, but with animated 2d characters, and o-o ....planned to be a musical. Because fun music makes me want to animate. :o * slams desk awkwardly *

Well, my new theme song apparently is here.

Nailed it

You guys are absolutely awesome and this song rocks. Listening to this song next to chic n stu by soad hits on a whole new level

omg the cog isnt dead at all!!!

I love it so much you did amazing

The sequel to chic'n'stu I never knew I needed! I love System of a Cog. Or Cog of a Down? System is dead? Whatever. FORASNACKFORASNACKFORASNACK

Wow this songs great! The title alone is such a mood. XD

(Arabian nights theme) It is midnight sna-ack, A half of a brea-ad Cover it with porkchop, Splash of mayo you pop, Second half goes on to-op!

This is how my mom describes me whenever I eat something past 9

Well, now I need a snack 😀

🤣 i don't normally like metal or songs that scream at me but this was just that funny! great job 😁

I love midnight snacks, I always make myself some tea and have some snacks while watching something :) I also love this song a lot, it really is me whenever I’m hungry late at night xD ❤❤❤

this part should be a meme format 2:18

LOL love it good job I have just finished my dinner

Apple Music told me I had to listen to this. They were right.

Pepperoni and green peppers, mushrooms... Oh, this isn't that song. * Continues rocking*

You're great at doing metal. I'm not saying you should do this all the time, but maybe something in the style of Ghost or Rammstein would be fun.

Now im hungry T-T meanie!!!

Prodigy tribute when...? :) Although I'd be happy with a Disturbed cover too...

I like so much, hahahaa

I love this 😂 madness. But after this i only have ondquestion. Were you a weird kid is high school? 😂

Those of us still waiting for their cover of the song Worthless from The Brave Jelly Doughnut Toaster 👇

11 o r 11:30 time to have a can of peaches or maybe a little can of soup. maybe truiscits or croutons If push comes to shove I can hit the Wawa.

That was delightfully deranged! So, you're exploring your metal side? Hmm, goes well with a side of Steam...

Ah yes, metlol

Only 56 views, The Cog is Dead has really fallen off.... (Ignore it's been 7 minutes)

Is it bad taste to say out loud that the reason why I won't add songs to my favourites playlist is because of the talking segments after the song and that throws off my playlist vibes?

Metal can be Diet so keep singing.😅

i love cog is dead so much but i hate soad so much i'll just pretend i never seen this
