For French speakers, the part about the chicken becoming a dentist has a deeper (accidental) meaning. The chicken becoming a dentist kind of implies that chickens would have teeth, and in French there's an idiom ''Quand les poules auront des dents...'' (When chickens will have teeth), which more accurately translates to ''When pigs fly'' (Used when talking about something that will never happen). So to me, when the chicken talks about becoming a dentist, it is even more literally talking about something inconceivable, that could seemingly never happen than what the song already implies.

this song gives so much more meaning to the line in Goodbye: "You can pick the street. I'll meet you on the other side"

In any other album, this would be the centerpiece. For inside, it's an outtake. Inside was magic.

Bo Burnham has always been a master at turning tragedy into comedy. Here he does the opposite by turning a joke into tragedy

Actually one of the most beautiful songs of INSIDE. I can see why it might not have fit in thematically with the rest but I'm so grateful we got to experience it!

To dissect a joke this deeply and translate it musically, and then cut it from the project, is just a testament to the talent and hard work that went into Inside.

The line "the road is gigantic the chicken is little" manages to make me tear up every time. There is something so relatable about a little chicken standing in the middle of a huge road and life feels like a big car is bearing down on you, and knowing there is nothing you can do to stop it because you're just a little chicken.

I think about my boyfriend every time I listen to Bo's stuff because my boyfriend loved all of his music. He committed suicide almost 2 months ago. I miss you so much Gavin, I love you.

Only Bo could give me chills with a song about why the chicken crossed the road.

As much as I love this song, it's even cooler how seemingly everyone who's listened to it has taken a different meaning from it. Some see it as a metaphor for suicide, some see it as a metaphor for escaping an abusive relationship, and some just see it as a deconstruction of the classic joke. My personal take on its meaning is that it's meant to serve as a metaphor for transitioning from one part of your life to another. Needless to say, I listened to this song a LOT during the summer after I graduated.

Bo is the only person who can write a song about the world’s oldest joke and make it ten times more powerful.

Imagine writing and recording this masterpiece only to decide it DIDN’T make the cut and instead you’d just let it collect dust on a hard drive for a YEAR.

As a domestic violence survivor, this song makes me sob. Because I can't imagine what would of happened to me if I hadn't gotten to the other side. I know I would of ended up dead.

I'm a grown fucking man bawling like a baby that hasn't been fed for four hours over the OLDEST JOKE IN THE BOOK. Only Bo can make something so simple, this moving. Thank you, Mister Burnham.

I know he often jokes about his vocal abilities but… he can really sing!

Did anyone notice that in the YouTube version, when Bo sings about the road its really soft, but if you listen on spotify, the keys are like an octave down, and the chorus is way more dramatic? Idk, I still think this is a really good song! I love you Bo!
