These crazy italians are very welcome to Scandinavia as honorary vikings for this 😎👍. We need a huge viking party soon. For all of Europe (and Canada 😊
Two fun fact: First - "Falegn-amen" is the union between two words: falegname and the classic "Amen". When Mike The Hammer sing "Just like Jesus, i'm a Carpenter" Carpenter is the right english translation of Falegname. Second - Trading Places here in Italy is broadcasting every Christmas night on TV. Greetings and thanks for the laughs ❤️
I love the Pippi Longstocking wig on the guitarist. Fun fact, they were on a IKEA tour, playing in stores. Without telling IKEA about it. 😁 They played until they got thrown out.
Their songs "Norwegian reggaeton" and "Barbie MILF princess of the twilight" are both cool but their humour is based on many in-jokes, one needs to be familiar with black metal lore for the first one and Rhapsody of Fire for the second. Still, "And then I noticed that she was a Gargoyle" and "Uranus" are great and funny too, and no particular previous knowledge is needed.
Best Ikea Commercial ever. Just random bits of info :) Yggdrasil is the Tree of Life in Northern Mythology, also most of the Words you (most likely don't understand) are Furnitures you can buy in IKEA like bedframes etc. The Horse meatballs, were a Scandal in Sweden were Meatballs were made from Horses (nothing wrong with that) but it was labeled as another kind of meat. Systembolaget is the only place in Sweden where you legally can buy alcohol over 3.5%.
Loved your reactions! This is one of the funniest songs I’ve ever heard, and i call these guys the “Weird Al” Yankovic of metal. You should give “Norwegian Reggaeton” a try.
I was the one who requested this ! :-) I enjoyed every minute of this reaction video and laughed together with you both... here's to your next one ! Best wishes : Gerry
Just so you know, the "Trading Places" reference at the end is because a private television in Italy has aired that movie on christmas eve for the last 15 years or so
I suggest you another Italian metal band called Frozen Crown, they play power epic metal. They were founded in 2018 and they have released 2 albums by now with a third one on the way in a few days. If you want check out "Neverending", "Forever" or "I am the tyrant". All 3 songs have official videos :) They are a fantastic band with an excellent female vocalist called Giada :)
The even deeper joke is that it IS actually a christmas song. The midwinter rituals go waaay back before christianity was a even a random thought in the head of some mideastern prophet. Odin is not a random choice here. So basically the christian church captured the midwinter festivities from the "heathens" and put their own rituals on top, then it got stolen by Coca Cola and now Nanowar of Steel stole it right back :-D
A very deep and very funny rabbit hole. They are currently doing deliberately dull Italian pop songs to troll the record company and fans. One of them has a P.H.D in Astrophysics !
By the way.... "Falegname" means "Carpenter" in italian, so "falegnamen" is basically mixing "Falegname" and "Amen" words. Useless insight, but even still...
"Nothing rhymes with Nicaragua". How about "messhugah"? Which is not only a band, but the Yiddish word for crazy...which fits this marvelous video. I love connections :).
Great reaction by the you guys. Your smile was constant through the entire song. As a Swede, i find this song very funny and very catchy :) Also, that Ginger is a real beauty. But that was a sidenote :) Subscribing.
A few side notes here. Systembolaget is a state-owned chain of stores here in Sweden and the only place where you can buy alcoholic drinks. Both Amon Amarth (melodic death metal with a heavy inspiration from the Viking era) and Hammerfall (heavy/power metal) are Swedish metal bands. The guy with the green armor is Thomas Winkler (called Angus McFife from when he was in the band Gloryhammer during this time) He is now in his own band called Angus McSIX
There are tons of Easter eggs throughout the video. Plays on words, the outfits and beards... I laugh every time I see it. Check out their songs Norwegian Reggaeton, Uranus, And then I noticed She was a Gargoyle, Barbie MILF Princess Of The Twilight... they are all fun. Unfortunately, Nanowar of Steel are having issues making money these days on just You Tube as a comedic metal band. They have been making parody videos of pop songs to show how ridiculous the music industry is. A few weeks ago, they did a video called 10 Hours Of Nanananananana, yes.... 10 hours of them singing Nanananananana. It is quite hilarious.
parody specifically about Swedish chrismas, which is actually mostly pagan/norse with some christian elements. It features some Swedish quirks like Systembolaget and when they ran out of viking themes they spent half the song randomly quoting the IKEA catalog.
Somehow missed that you did this one! Great reaction, fun to see you laughing throughout. On a more modest and contrasting note, I also like "I Fear Ikea" by The Lancashire Hotpots. 😁 I love that you got the Sasha Grey joke - I had to have that explained to me..
I'm going back and watching last year's reactions to this amazing song, since not many have reacted to it this year yet. Somehow I'd missed yours until now. How did we get from A to B? Some have suggested that the first part, prior to the Hebrew lyrics, was the Old Testament of Odin, with the plunder, rape, and chopping of heads, while the second part, after Odin whips off the Santa beard, is the New Testament, with a gentle god, no more war just design of furniture. My favorite bit of obscure humor in this is the manual. The futhark runes on the front translate to the name of the famous Viking dragon longship, also pictured on the cover, so that's what you're buying from IKEA when you get that manual. And what tools does it say you need to build it? A standard screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver, a pencil, a Viking round shield, a double-headed battle axe, and a mug of mead/ale.
So many more great songs from these guys but Uranus is my favourite. If you want more comedy metal take a look at Alestorm, tongue in cheek pirate songs! Love the 'anchor' song but it will probably get blocked!
😂 you made me laugh and I have seen this song a thousand times 😂 Great reaction Now my suggestion would be to check the new album Dislike to false Metal and the first three videos
Her: *"He's probably still worrying about what's gonna happen at the business meeting tomorrow morning..."* Him: *"Kisha Grey is better than Sasha Grey."*
*Or, like the much beloved young scientists in "The Big Bang Theory" stated, as they had to build up a wardrobe made by IKEA : "Now this explains, why Sweden has no space program...." * 🎵😁👍 *Greetings & Stay safe.* 🎵🔥🌟🎵✅
@@darkiee69 *Don't get me wrong.....Sweden is the land of Europe, Amaranthe, Sabaton, Evergrey, The Night Flight Orchestra, In Flames, Soilwork, etc., etc., etc.,......this alone makes Sweden very important. Greetings & Stay safe.* 🎵🌟🔥🔥🔥🔥🎹🎸🥁📢🔥🔥🔥🌟🎵🔊✅🤘😎👍
@@NicholasCorvin I took it as the joke is was meant to be. 😁 I just wanted to tell you that we do have a space agency and a rocket launch site that's been used several times a year to send scientific probe rockets and balloons to space and "near space" . We also have two astronauts, Christer Fuglesang and Jessica Meir (She has a Swedish citizenship, so even if she represents the US in space we claim her as ours) 😉😁. Stay safe and have a good day.
@@darkiee69 Well, north of Kiruna...and Jukkasjarvi. Interesting place ;). And I bet the guys in Nanowar know all about it, and were just making a joke.
@@MikeandGinger I want more reactions! In spite of this, I wish you a Merry Xmass! ( hei bro, be patient: if my english sound strange, well i'm italian!🤣🤣🤣)Buon Natale!!!!
