Some of the funniest stuff I run across comes from the more extreme
wings of the metal genre. Some of these ah..........artists are
intensely sincere but seem to have little or no idea how fanboyish
they come across and thier listeners tend to be cut from the same
cloth. It is as if they have a desire to *be* Spinal Tap.
Frex:
Pretty, baby let it go now,
Its a tingling sensation down below, now.
The butterflies in our guts makes it alright
(Give Them) Cocktails and flowers, baby alright!
Baby, let it go now
Try to let it go, baby
My suits on fire yeah,
Electric suits!
Cowboy boots, yeah!
Baby, turn it out now
Baby, turn it the f*ck off now.
Classic!
