I don't know if I've already written this here or on Mark Prindle's Facebook, but

The lyrics don't fit, but
1. it has THE perfect riff,
2. it is THE aural equivalent to being a biker, going to a meeting, not having a shower for a week, knocking back 20 beers or so in one go and throwing old crankshafts and engines for sport to impress the resident biker chick with a husky rasp, slightly aged and raddled, but still popular.

Now, that's not necessarily something I'd like to do, generally, but it's nice to have the opportunity to enjoy it vicariously through a song.
 

The most unfairly overhated album in the metal community? Maybe.

Like I said in the greatest metal song game, this is rather Pattonesque. I can imagine it fitting King for a Day... quite well.
