Cheesiest Manowar lyric

[Perun]

What the title says. Choose your favourite lyric from the above. These are only the ones that came to mind right now. I may add new ones as I think of them.

 

[LooseCannon]

Hail and Kill's sword wetness lyric. Oh god.

 

[Perun]

Yeah, that's my pick too. You have to give kudos to the band for having the balls to put a line as over the top as this anywhere.

 

[Night Prowler]

May your sword stay wet, like a young girl in her prime!

Honorable mentions:
I need metal in my life, just like an eagle needs to fly.
We are fighting with power and steel, fighting for metal, metal that's real!

 

[Crimson Idol]

I think "pick your favourite" may be a bit misleading >.>

I walked inside so I could hear and the guy beside me gave me a beer.
He had his fists up in the air and said hey my friends are over there.

 

[Yax]

I kinda dig The gods made heavy metal, and they saw that it was good.

 

[national acrobat]

"May your sword stay wet, like a young girl in her prime"

Pure brilliance.

 

[DJ James]

The stripes on a tiger don't wash away, Manowar's made of steel not clay! (Fighting the World)​

 

[Natalie]

We are fighting with power and steel, fighting for metal, metal that's real! (Brothers of Metal Pt1)

But that's just because the wet girl thing is so ridiculous I can't vote for it. But it probably is the cheesiest and most inappropriate thing any band has ever written.

 

[The Flash]

I was gonna go with the wetness lyric or the Brothers of Metal Pt1 lyric but decided to go with "The gods made heavy metal, and they saw that it was good." instead. The hell ?

 

[Forostar]

But that's just because the wet girl thing is so ridiculous I can't vote for it. But it probably is the cheesiest and most inappropriate thing any band has ever written.

I'd call it a sexist lyric. I go for: "If you're not into metal, you are not my friend"

 

[LooseCannon]

It *is* a sexist lyric, which is part of what makes it cheesy, because the "a-typical" aspect of heavy metal is very male dominant. Reinforcing that stereotype is both bad and cheesy. It's ludicrous.

 

[Crimson Idol]

For sheer inappropriateness I find the "Rape their women as they cry" a whole different level.

 

[Perun]

You know, being a white knight when it comes to criticising Manowar is so... 1988.

 

[Forostar]

I don't change such views every decade.

 

[Ariana]

The stripes on a tiger don't wash away, Manowar's made of steel not clay! (Fighting the World)​

My choice, too. It's plainly ridiculous. I can't help this image of somebody repeatedly pouring buckets of water over the poor tiger. And the whole "steel" cliche...

 

[Rotam]

I used to hear this guys a lot. Who knows why.

"oh, your getting wet, your working up a sweat", Animals.

 

[national acrobat]

I'd like to nominate a new cheesy lyric:

"We drink a lot of beers
And play our metal loud at night"

or even:

"Never gonna change our style
Gonna play tonight for quite a while"

I've been listening to the new album all week, and have to say it's absolutely brilliant....but I did fall about laughing when I read the lyrics to Manowarriors (as above) before I'd heard it.

 

[SixesAlltheway]

Metal that's real.
