"Kill Rock 'n Roll" is a promotional single by Armenian-American heavy metal band System of a Down, released in July 2006. It is the third track off their fifth album, Hypnotize, and was one of the few songs from the album that was performed at live shows before its release.[1][2] The band chose not to release the song as a single, saying that it was too catchy.[2]
Meaning[edit]
The lyrics, written by Daron Malakian, supposedly refers to a rabbit that Malakian ran over in his car one night (who he named "Rock 'n Roll", hence the title of the song).[3]

Although the band has been playing Hypnotize's "Kill Rock 'n' Roll" since the spring (see "System Of A Down 'Kill Rock 'N' Roll' With Volta In SoCal"), it's not likely to be a single."That's just a really catchy song, and I don't know if we want to release such a catchy song," Odadjian said. "I'd rather kinda push people's brains. I'd hate being known as the band that is recognized for that song. So I don't know. ... It's weird with our songs because it's like the weirdest song that you would never think could be a single becomes a single."
