The Chair (song)

"The Chair" is a song written by Dean Dillon and Hank Cochran, and recorded by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in August 1985 as the lead-off single from his album Something Special. It peaked at number-one on the country music chart in both the United States and Canada in 1985. The song was named by CMT as one of the top 100 country songs of all time, posting at number 24 on that list.

Background and writing

"The Chair" came at the end of a night-long songwriting binge by country music songwriters, Hank Cochran and Dean Dillon. The two had been writing songs all night long and as Dillon puts it, "were about written out" - when he strummed his guitar and sang the line "Excuse me but I think you've got my chair." Twenty minutes later, "The Chair" was complete.

Content

The lyrics represent a conversation between a man and a woman at a bar, but only the man's side of the conversation is revealed. At the beginning he says, "Well excuse me, but I think you've got my chair." Over the course of the conversation, the talk grows more intimate, until the woman agrees to let the man drive her home. At the end he says, "Oh I like you too, and to tell you the truth, that wasn't my chair after all."

The Chair (film)

The Chair is a 2007 horror film directed by Brett Sullivan and co-written with Michael Capellupo.

Plot

Danielle (Alanna Chisholm), a psychology student, moves into a beautiful Victorian house, but immediately begins to suffer apparent manifestations of a spirit haunting the residence. Alarmed, she calls her sister, Anna (Lauren Roy), who initially believes that Danielle is suffering a relapse of a hinted-at psychiatric disorder.

Discovering a "fog" in her hallway, Danielle follows it to the closet of the spare room, discovering a small concealed room inside the wall. Danielle investigates the history of the house: she learns of Mordechai Zymytryk (Paul Soren), who mesmerized a convicted child-killer named Crowe as punishment for the torture and subsequent death of Zymytryk's own grandson. She also begins to exhibit signs of possession.

Influenced by the spirit, Danielle begins rebuilding a chair with straps and gears, using parts that have been scattered around the house. Attacking her sister, she straps her to the device, revealing its name and purpose: it is a panic vest, the chain and gears tightening the device around the victim's chest each time they exhale. Danielle is summoned downstairs by Jacob (Nickolas Tortolano), and Anna seizes the opportunity to escape.
