"I'm sly and I'm shameless, nocturnal and nameless" for me.

Durian Durian (Jon Lewis), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 16:30 (fifteen years ago)

I don't find this homoerotic. Sorry.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 16:33 (fifteen years ago)

in a back alley street is how I'll probably vote

the chorus is tempting tho

Nandi says Mal hasn't even noticed the women, and asks him if he's "sly," which is Firefly slang for gay. Mal sputters and demands, "Who told you that?

Halford's got nothing on Udo Dirkschneider:

Head Over Heels Lyrics:

Late at night in the park
I saw them slipping in the dark
For heaven sake what’s going on
It’s like someone is here

Gotta follow now
Like being in a trance for me
There’s silence here
More than all the noise

Spurting in the dark head over heels
Overheated heart head over heels
Treating it so hard the spurting feels
Everyday, every night

Down on my knees, God help me please
Gotta know who’s out in the dark
I’ve stopped my breath, can feel the hands
Could hear the sound of people making love
I surrender right now
I’ve to be touched I feel so much

I don't find this homoerotic. Sorry.

I should've included a "sometimes a cigar is only a cigar" poll option

hindsight is 20/20

Hey Chuck - "Head Over Heels" was written by their female manager, which doesn't make it less homoerotic when sung by Udo, but is interesting to see in that light.

Edward - I'm tempted to go for that final yell just toget in the spirit of the proceedings.

EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 16:54 (fifteen years ago)

surely you meant?

Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time
Tend to burn the arrow
Out of the line

Been inclined to wander
Off the beaten track
That's where there's thunder
And the wind shouts back

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Got no use for routine
I shiver at the thought
Open skies are my scene
That's why I won't get caught

Refuse to bite the mantrap
Be led to set the snare
I love to have my sight
Capped everywhere

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

[solo Glenn]

I've held my licence
It came with birth,
For self reliance on this earth
You take the bullet
On which my name
Was etched upon in your game

Day of independence
Stamped us like a brand
Round the necks of millions
To the land

As the mighty eagle
I need room to breathe
Witness from the treadmill
I take my leave

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

Grinder
Looking for meat
Grinder
Wants you to eat

i dont think thats all correct lyric wise by the way; copied and pasted from some random googled site

Jamie_ATP, Wednesday, 4 November 2009 17:27 (fifteen years ago)

actually I'm sure I meant

Wrapped tight around me
Like a second flesh hot skin
Cling to my body
As the ecstasy begins

Your wild vibrations
Got me shooting from the hip
Crazed and insatiable let rip

Eat me alive

Sounds like an animal
Panting to the beat
Groan in the pleasure zone
Gasping from the heat

Gut-wrenching frenzy
That deranges every joint
I'm gonna force you at gun point

To eat me alive

Bound to deliver as
You give and I collect
Squealing impassioned as
The rod of steel injects

Lunge to the maximum
Spread-eagled to the wall
You're well equipped to take it all

So eat me alive

I went with "the ripPAH" bcz the only people I know who adore Kelly Ripa have been gay dudes.

we are normal and we want our freedom (Abbott), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 18:15 (fifteen years ago)

never turn yr back on the ripa

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 18:18 (fifteen years ago)

now I'm picturing kelly ripa violently pegging some rough trade, not sure how I feel about this

鬼の手 (Edward III), Wednesday, 4 November 2009 18:21 (fifteen years ago)

Never, ever, turn your back on the ripper. As long as you face him, you'll be just fine.

moley, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 02:55 (fifteen years ago)

o hear my warning! never turn your back on the ripper!

^ kind of disappointed this had 0 votes

鬼の手 (Edward III), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 08:19 (fifteen years ago)

Fist flying
Eyes blazing
They're glory bound
The Hell Patrol

Brutalize you
Neutralize you
Gonna go for your throat as you choke

Øystein, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 09:53 (fifteen years ago)

I only have Sad Wings of Destiny with me so I'm gonna listen to that now

fuck yes that victim of changes riff is a killer sabbath rip

a full circle lol (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 13:05 (fifteen years ago)

it's like the lovechild of queen and sabbath

so so good

鬼の手 (Edward III), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 14:19 (fifteen years ago)

You been!
Foolin!
With some!
HØHHÆÆ (I've never had a clue what he says there ... "other"?)

Goddamn great song -- love how leisurely it feels. Particular when they do that really slow Slayer riff (around 2 minutes in -- before he sings "Take anotha lookaraun!")
Kinda sad they didn't keep doing this sort of thing, but at least Mercyful Fate did a few numbers in the style.
"Into the Coven" would totally work on Sad Wings.

Øystein, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 15:11 (fifteen years ago)

"Into the Coven" would totally work on Sad Wings.

and become...LUCIFER'S CHILD! hell yes O good call

a full circle lol (J0hn D.), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 15:18 (fifteen years ago)

You been!
Foolin!
With some!
Hot guy?
Hot stuff?

hot something

鬼の手 (Edward III), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 15:20 (fifteen years ago)

Always thought it was "Hot Guy"

Best Priest song and album. Jane's Addiction made a career by ripping of different sections of "Victim Of Changes."

EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 15:24 (fifteen years ago)

According to google:

You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me

Nate Carson, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:41 (fifteen years ago)

Of course we've all seen this:

Nate Carson, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:42 (fifteen years ago)

But i think the gayest moment in the whole Priest canon is the face and sound that pretty longhaired Bobby Halford makes around 5:32 of this fantastic clip:

Nate Carson, Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:44 (fifteen years ago)

鬼の手 (Edward III), Tuesday, 1 December 2009 21:46 (fifteen years ago)
