The Lyrics
This song is about my favourite band Mot�rhead. Who says that a parody has to be mean? Also, here�s some Mot�rhead trivia to help you enjoy it: "We�re a bluesband, only faster" and "I wanted to form a band so bad, that if we moved in next door your lawn would die" are famous Lemmy quotes. Their first name was "Bastards" but the record company forced them to change. "Bigger, better, louder, faster" where the bands motto in the early 80s. And according to Lemmy�s autobiography "White line fever", Phil, the guitarist, is into some kinky stuff when it comes to the horizontal mambo. :-)
They were formed in good old England; Mot�rhead
Eddie Clark was the first wingman; Mot�rhead
They�re a bluesband, only faster
Lead by Lemmy, who�s the master
They�ve been called a bunch of bastards
Mot�rhead
They�ve done 25 in showbiz; Mot�rhead
And this song�s a tribute, notice; Mot�rhead
What their roadies do is icky
Drink in pace with Lem is tricky
Is that Snaggletooth or Mikkey?
Mot�rhead
You should catch�em when they�re touring; Mot�rhead
Because other bands are boring, Mot�rhead
If your tired of that Britney
And the way she�s moaning "Hit me"
And that Houston�s shamed by Whitney
Mot�rhead
If you�re playing for the high one; Mot�rhead
If you�re black, white or a fly one; Mot�rhead
If your local radio�s stinking
And your patience with it sinking
Or you need some heavy drinking
Mot�rhead
If your city�s keen on culture; Mot�rhead
If you know black market vultures; Mot�rhead
Can the neighbour hear your moan
When you give the wife the bone
Or your lawn�s too overgrown
Mot�rhead
If the roadlife makes you shiver, Mot�rhead
If a groupie asks then give her; Mot�rhead
If the tour bus is a rocking
Take advice and don�t come knocking
Seeing Phil in drag�s quite shocking
Mot�rhead
Bigger, better, louder, faster; Mot�rhead
Reputation spreading vaster; Mot�rhead
On the road it�s white line fever
In the snakepit it�s a seether
Groupies will support the beaver
(If your girlfriend nags just leave her)
MOT�RHEAD!

If you think that you recognized a couple of rhymes it�s because 2-3 of them also appeared in my hit "Flip the bird". Rhymes, not verses. They were originally sketched for this song, that I put on the shelf when the idea to "Flip the bird" came to me. I have now given it another shot and this song is my contribution to the second round of the current AmIRight Survivor contest. ��NospamSnaggletoth@hotmail.com

Nice pacing.
This parody is a classic, dude! Straight 5's!
Thanx, dude! (Though if you�re really Lemmy then my "claw" is shaped like the horn of Snaggletooth!) :-)
Firstly, I'd like to point out that I am *NOT* the "Phil" mentioned above ;-)... very enjoyable, and a great juxtaposition of a light traditional song with the archetypes of speed metal. But I must admit to not having any Mot�rhead in the car any more: it makes me drive too fast...
Yeah, I know what you mean! :-) Funnily enough, driving too fast is one of the cliches Lemmy�s been more or less avoiding, unless you make a very generous interpretation of what songs like "Built for speed", "Riding with the driver" or "Locomotive" are about. :-)
Motorhead Forever!!!!!!!!!
Gawd! The word "Motörhead" has really taken a beating from that firefoxitis pox that hit the site some months back. :-(
$hit !! Peter, I knew this OS and voted it, wiping your votes. Sorry about that, but I suppose you know where the 555 came from.( Which is the embarassed emoticon? ) Forgot all about the voting loss last year. The comments are more important anyway, right?
Deducting 30 points from my newbie ranking for this error.
