"Jerry Calà in controtempo (aganist time)" refers to an italian 80s actor, specifically to the song "Maracaibo" (Maraca Barbie, obviously said aganist time). Dildo Faggins refers to Bilbo Baggins. Barbie Turilli: Turilli was the guitarist of Rhapsody of Fire. Emerald refers to a saga of Rhapsody. Fabio Lione, the one that sing "Yes, i'm a Barbie", was a member of Rhapsody. "polly pocket wants..." refers both to the song Polly by Nirvana and the toy. Many other referrals around :D
I love the reference to Luca Turilli (right after the "Barbie papa part) when Fabio Lione is singing this song imitating his old group Rhapsody Of Fire. Fun fact but true fact : Nanowar Of Steel was previously named "Nanowar" and added "Of Steel", the same way as Rhapsody became Rhapsody Of Fire. Those italian guys are crazy :)
Rhapsody put "of Fire" on their name because of issues getting just the single word accepted as trademark. And to mock the fact it was just tagged on like that, the "of Steel" part in Nanowar's logo literally looks like it was added in two minutes in MS Paint.
To understand better this song you'd hear "Emerald Sword" by Rhapsody of Fire (sang by Fabio Lione himself) .. the whole song has a lot of reference to that song. A little trivia: Nanowar of Fire initial name was just Nanowar. They changed their name into the actual one after Rhapsody changed their into "Rhapsody of Fire" due to copyright stuff. In their first years Nanowar did a lot of songs parodying Rhapsody , they also did a rap version of "emerald sword" called "rap-sody" or "Look at two reels" that in italian sounds like "Luca turilli", Rhapdosy first guitarist 😆 Both bands are from Italy. 😅
Truly the most absolutely unhinged piece they have ever written! And still brilliant! Try Tooth Fairy! It's almost as unhinged as this, but has a more coherent narrative.
This was, in fact, the first song of them I saw. But it didn't really click back then that it wasn't just a one-shot funny video on the internet but that those guys actually had whole albums out there with tons more of this insanity. I now own pretty much all their albums, and have seen them live. No regrets.
I know you've listened to a lot of songs, but I hope you'll listen to this one too. Nanowar Of Steel - La Maledizione di Capitan Findus It will be worth it
you absolutely must listen "ironmonger" and "Thoot fairy" (financial power metal😅with the former Italian Prime Minister). man you must do it soon, trust me 🥰
Yeah well, "dildo faggins" Is another reference, don't Remember if you catched It. Anyway, you already did a couple of songs from stairway to valhalla, you could finish the album

Turilli play the guitar. He's not the Singer😉
@@cristianmattia78 Correct, thank you :)
The whole song is about Rhapsody of Fire. The main references are "Knightrider of doom" and "Unholy Warcry"
I randomly stumbled upon "Rider of the astral fire" by Luca Turilli and can't stop singing about barbie when it plays...
I have also heard a bit of the song Dargor, in the last part of the solo

It's a spoof on Symphonic Metal, the singer is from Rhapsody of Fire!
Fabio Lione had asked to sing with Nanowar

Power metal spoof at its best! All the Tolkien, Mythology and a lot of misogyny! Beautiful.
You must to listen to "Il signore degli anelli dello stadio" if you want LOTR references...
With subs on.
Its not one of their more well known ones but try 'Ironmonger'
I love your reactions, thank you for this! :D
Welcome back 😍
I Guess all the LOTR and tabletop game references is because power metal tend to sing about dragons and nerdy things
I know you've listened to a lot of songs, but I hope you'll listen to this one too.
