Heavy Metal Song - Week Two - Day Two


The idea for this one dates back a few months. I am sure that Scooter and D-Lo could tell you how often I sang the refrain as that was all it was. The idea was born while building cars.

Heavy Metal Song

I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
‘cause I feel like my testosterone is low
I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
I want to see more leather in the first three rows

High times
In 1985
Had my hair down to my shoulders
I was living the life

With teenage dreams
Of fast machines
And American thighs
If you know what I mean

I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
So I can watch my hair re-grow
I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
I want to see more spandex in the first three rows

My sister wasn’t twisted
Never wore metal spikes
All my riots weren’t so quiet
But I knew what I liked

I was back in black
With a bottle of Jack
A trusty bic lighter
and a jacket with a patch on the back

I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
I’ll wear snakeskin boots and skintight jeans
I’ll get a stripper girlfriend in a plastic thong
She’ll be wearing my three quarter sleeve concert tee

It seems these days
It’s all so tame
I gave away my cassette tapes
My hair is down the drain

But I don’t think
I could ever give away
That feeling that I get
When the Cinderella starts to play

I’m gonna write a heavy metal song
I’ll give it away free on my website
I’m gonna stay up all night long
And I’ll download “Kill em’ All” just to make Lars cry

Hey Rich!

There's some stellar details in this one. I'm excited to see a crowd react to it.

Cheers,

Ahem, "stripper girlfriend"?

You know the rules are that I need to at least meet the girl before I agree to letting you turn this marriage into a Mormon wetdream. ~A

Hey Matt

The devil is truly in the details here....admitting that much of it is based on truth that is. Hope the crowd can cope. Perhaps sunday at Quinn's?
Cheers

This sunday at Quinn's? If you're there, I'm there.

Just so you know, last time I wandered into open mic night there it turned into what I can only describe as a frat party, except the frat boys were lesbians. But I'm sure that was a one time thing.

Hmm... I thought these were girls coming back from tour. Maybe I just left early (which I did) and you got there late? There was one poor guy trying to sing Barenaked Ladies songs... oh man. You can imagine.

Cheers,
