Just When You Thought They Couldn’t Make Christmas Any Dumber . . . .

The American heavy metal band Manowar—best known for wearing loin-cloths, hectoring their audience with Conanesque measures of violent rhetoric, and riding horses through the forest in their videos—have issued their very own Christmas song. And it’s completely serious. In fact, their dour seriousness and complete lack of reflection or self-consciousness are precisely what makes them so wonderful in their way. Click on the picture below to visit their official website. Then click on the language you would like use. Then you can hear their version of “Silent Night” in English or German, your choice.

They really are just too much. I look forward to a quiet retirement one day when they’re playing the AARP conference in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. In loin cloths.

Its because their lyrics sux, but the music is good (if you like heavy metal).
So, they are are huge in each country where the people cant understand their lyrics.
Another theory is that the Americans have no irony. :wink:
