I know Metal isn't exactly everyone's "cup of tea," but personally I enjoy it. Metal helped me through calculus in college (I suffer from chronic migraines, and it actually helped me focus on homework and studying). Without Metal, it is safe to say, I would not have graduated! To honor what Metal has done for me, I have compiled a list of the top 5, best, weird, but awesome Metal songs..
#5) Dethklok, Hatredcopter
Click on the link in the title and enjoy! With lyrics like "I, am likely to find, from my failure to fly, that I will be fired for not killing you, cause that is my job, Hatredcopter. You, will most likely die, from the hands of my arm, when I come and fly and, take off your face, with the front of my Hatredcopter." I wonder what kind of drugs were involved in the writing of this song. In all seriousness, I really like this song! The entire series of Metalocolypse is beyond ridiculous -- perhaps that's why I enjoyed watching it. They are making a fourth season, which I am excited about. I can add more songs to this list! And who can forget the Batmetal version!
#4) Avenge Sevenfold, A little Piece of Heaven
A song about murdering someone because they said no to a wedding proposal is kinda psychotic, but the beat and chorus lyrics are pretty darn catchy. I showed the video to a friend and her initial reaction was "what the heck!" Now she listens to it over and over again. I am somewhat surprised that A Little Piece of Heaven has not become more popular with the whole zombie craze that has been happening since the T.V. show The Walking Dead. Who knows, there is still time for people to become obsessed with it.
#3) Dethklok, Mermaider
With almost every song they make, Dethklok never ceases to confuse me with their lyrics. If a song about Mermaids being murdered and murdering a random creature wasn't enough, they use acid underwater... is anyone else confused by that? I mean seriously, if you throw acid into the ocean I'm pretty sure it would get diluted enough to the point that it would not be harmful. I may be wrong, but that is one of the things that boggled my mind the most about the song.
#2) Children of Bodom, Oops I Did it Again
A Brittany Spears cover by a metal band... What the heck... Even though the mere fact that this exists kinda confuses me, I do feel that this version is 100 times better than the original, which I personally think sounds like excrement. My disdain of the original song is partially based around the fact that I do not like Brittany Spears at all. Overall I would say that it is a good cover.... it's weird... but I kinda like it.
#1) Goodnight Nurse, Milkshake
This is seriously the best Milkshake cover ever! I never liked the original of this song and also despise Kelis... so the fact I like the cover makes it completely awesome. I would even venture to say that I like it more than Children of Bodom's cover of Oops I Did it Again. Excellent work, Goodnight Nurse, you have created a masterpiece out of a piece of nothing!
