Band Name Origins:
- Dave Mustaine saw it in a newspaper "the arsenal of megadeath can't be rid" or something really close to that. He used it as a song name, but then used it as the band name. He took out th "A" cuz he thought it looked cheesy with it. Submitted by: The Funt
- The word "megadeath" means "the death of a million people", like something that would be caused by an atom bomb. They used the word (surely fitting to their subject matter), and just took out the "e" to be unique. Submitted by: xThrashxTillxDeathx

The Funny Lyrics: Rotten egg air of death wrestles your nostrils

Insincere Song Lyrics:
"A Tout Le Monde"
The Insincere Lyrics: So as you read this know my friends, I'd love to stay with you all...
Why They're Insincere: It's clear from the rest of the lyrics that he's sick of his life and wants to end it so this line strikes me more as sarcastic than sincere.

Dirty Song Lyrics:
"Mechanix"
The Dirty Lyrics: Who would have thought you'd be better at turning a screw than me? I do it for my life. Made my drive shaft crank, made my pistons bulge, made my ball bearings melt from the heat!
Why They're Dirty: The whole song uses not-so-vague mechanical metaphors for having sex, possibly in an auto mechaninc shop.

Scary Song Lyrics:
"Sweating Bullets"
The Lyrics: Well me, it's nice talking to myself
A credit to dementia Someday, you too will know my pain And smile its black-toothed grin If the war inside my head Won't take a day off I'll be dead My icy fingers claw your back Here I come again Why: The whole song is about schizophrenia and mental insanity, and on top of that Mustaine sings the whole thing in his creepy "Mustaine" voice...freaky song to listen to in the dark alone.
