Hardly anyone gets the Manowar reference, they put under the Cranberries part. I myself only recognized it at about the 100th listen. This is hilarous.
Regarding "Esta vida loca / a mirar la foca / asando un salmòn / norwegian reggaeton", when they say "a mirar la foca" they refer to the title of a trashy italian comedy movie from the 70s entitled "Viva la foca, che Dio la benedoca" which is a self-censored way to say "viva la fica, che dio la benedica" (long live pussy, may god bless it), and changing the vowels fica becomes foca (seal) and benedica becomes benedoca which doesn't mean anything thereby revealing where the trick lays (that o's stand for i's and foca actually means fica). So "a mirar la foca" can refer to living your life with that summer vibe looking for pussy, and "asando un salmòn" might be related to it because of fish being tipically used, at least in italian but not only, as one of the animal references of choice for phallic symbolisms and innuendos, so probably asando un salmòn (and by the way asando sounds similar to the italian "alzando", raising) refers to an erection in reaction to having mirado la foca
I doubt this explanation very very much. I believe "mirar la foca" is simply random as the salmon part".. I bet the spanish lyrics are written by charly glamour, who is spanish, from a band that does very similar comedy metal stuff and is the guy singing the "solo" spanish parts.... And no, a salmon isnt a reference to a penis, at least not more than any other fish (no one will use a fish reference to refer a penis in spanish, unless you say "badajo"). I believe they simply added random spanish phrases with no sense, and they simply talk about animals that are typical found at norwegian coasts, just like the references to killer whales.. unless you want to find something sexual about killer whales too.
@@Trikipum avoid talking about what you don't know. I'm Italian, like Michele, and I can assure you his explaination is 100% true. "Fish" (whatever the specimen) refers to the male genital and "fica" refers both to a very beautiful woman and to her genitals.
Desecrate the tomb to the rhythm of the rumba! It must be hard to maintain your Goth vampire street cred in the middle of a sunny Caribbean beach resort holiday.
I think, This song was being made when the lead singer of the cranberries died, I believe they put that zombies segment in as an ode to her since they all listened to her growing up. Could be mistaken
I feel like the little bit at the end is proof positive the band and all hired actors were indeed heavily inebriated at at least one point during filming....quite potentially even progressively getting more drunk as the shoot went on, which just goes to show how much fun the band has which is so amazingly refreshing much of what I listen to the bands take themselves so very seriously but nanowar definitely just loves making fun and funny music because they can
This. is. CATCHY! I've seen this video pop up in my suggestions, but I always ignored it, thinking it was a spoof... But I'm SO glad i checked out your video.
If you want more comedic Bands like this check out Gloryhammer (their frontman played Odin in Valhalleluja) I'd suggest "Return of the CHaos Wizards" or "Gloryhammer" Also Nanowar just released a new song: "Uranus"
I don't even know what to say about this one 😅 the guitar was cool af and a really catchy chorus. I think out of respect i'll leave it there 😂 thankyou for showing us different kinds of music 🙂
Check out their new video for Uranus. I did not realize the lyrics are kind of educational until I saw it yesterday, which just makes the whole thing even funnier.
I'm honestly surprised with the time this video has been up, the band responding directly, and the obvious lack of "reference, get" regarding the multiple Fantoft/Varg references in the song, that some sauce boss fan hasn't explained in the 2 years since this reaction was released. I don't *know* specific details about why the band put certain things in the video, this is stuff I've picked up from comments and Google Fu. This is by far a non-exhaustive list of the references within, but specific to the Fantoft/Varg bits. -- At the start of the video he talks about burning down the Fantoft church in 1992. This was a big thing in Norway at the time; it was the first of roughly 50 churches burned down for reasons not entirely known, but later stated in an interview with Varg Vikernes to be an attempt to reclaim the land for Paganism since it was brutally ousted by Christianity. Or to sell his upcoming album in the band Burzum, "Hvis lyset tar oss" (If the light takes us). One or the other. If you like dark-adjacent history, it could be a good read. In the Spanish lyrics one verse says "Let's go dance with Hellhammer and Varg" who were both band members of the band Mayhem, a pretty messed up band of misfits if you look at their history. Arson, suicide, murder, fun stew there? The picture that was set on fire at the start of the guitar solo was Varg, I'm guessing karmically burned in photographic effigy based on the lyrical context of the song and general expressions of those in the scene. Great reaction though. I enjoyed it immensely.
Great reaction! Please check out psycostick you'll love em especially since you loved this, I recommend either N.O.E.L or Zombie Claus Keep up the good work
Cool reaction dude! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for watching it! Keep up the great work! 😃🤘
@@ThomFoolery1 ok that’s kinda cool gotta say. See these bands are all so cool and nice as well as bad ass. I’m convinced the whole lot are aliens 👽
The problem with Nanowar of Steel songs is that if you blink for 3 seconds, you miss 36 puns, 28 jokes and 14 references.
Haha so true! 🤣
Just today I found the Beatles reference about Norwegian Wood.
E.g. "a mirar la foca" it's an italian pun foca that means seal is an euphemism for fica that means pussy
This!
This song/video makes me SO happy.

@@Trikipum Michele's explaination is totally on point. They are using typical italian references!

NANOWAR OF STEEL
*Barbie MILF princess of the twilight* ft Fabio Lione (Rhapsody of fire) = awesome pure power metal
Was a massive Rhapsody Nerd/Fan many years ago, that song had me laughing so much my stomach hurt
Desecrate the tomb to the rhythm of the rumba!
It must be hard to maintain your Goth vampire street cred in the middle of a sunny Caribbean beach resort holiday.
Yet somehow, they make it look so easy haha
React to Nanowar of Steel - And Then I Noticed That She Was a Gargoyle
The name alone is amazing. 😂 Thanks! 🤘
Now that's one of their funniest songs, hahahaha, react to that one, please!
I think, This song was being made when the lead singer of the cranberries died, I believe they put that zombies segment in as an ode to her since they all listened to her growing up. Could be mistaken
Now imagine... I was the past Summer in Norway, with a van hearing this during the travel. 😂😂😂

They also don't do this for a living, so that changes what you decide to make and how you do so tremendously.
*IRONMONGER* is another great one.
Catchy as hell. And, of course, hilarious.
Is there anything more metal than an ironmonger?
Mabe Manowar 😁
This. is. CATCHY! I've seen this video pop up in my suggestions, but I always ignored it, thinking it was a spoof... But I'm SO glad i checked out your video.
Haha! You're right, it's so catchy and funny. I listen to it frequently. Thanks for watching. 😀
@@ThomFoolery1 you got a fan. First video I watched from you was a Sabaton reaction.
If you want more comedic Bands like this check out Gloryhammer (their frontman played Odin in Valhalleluja) I'd suggest "Return of the CHaos Wizards" or "Gloryhammer"
Also Nanowar just released a new song: "Uranus"
I love how much fun you have with Nanowar of steel.
You made my day
Hola Nekane! I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Many thanks for the suggestion! I've had this song on repeat ever since! 🤣🤘
I'm, from norway and its so ccol we've known for Black metal, Thor and Odin I not bragging but I hail from somewhere cool!
I don't even know what to say about this one 😅 the guitar was cool af and a really catchy chorus. I think out of respect i'll leave it there 😂 thankyou for showing us different kinds of music 🙂
Haha it's unique right!? 😂😂😂
You are adorable! Hilarious song! Keep rockin it out! ❤️🤘🏻
😁😁🤘🤘
" Profanar la tumba al ritmo de la Rumba".
That's it! I've been trying to figure out what that part sounded like. Now I can rest easy knowing it's Zombie.
Check out their new video for Uranus. I did not realize the lyrics are kind of educational until I saw it yesterday, which just makes the whole thing even funnier.
Thanks Jake! I have to hear this 😀
one of the best reactions ive seen :D
Thank you! :D

Steel Panther is the greatest comedic band ever plus the actual songs are amazing
Det som engang var ... That what once was.
One thing I have to disagree with is Piña colada is not from Santo Domingo, but who the Fk cares...Keep on dancing 💃🕺
Go listen to " Giorgio Mastrota" by Nanowar of Steel
Can you tell me your source video for your review? I have been looking for one that added more translation.
It's just the original youtube video with CC turned on. 🙂
And...yesss "foca" wich is translated with "seal" is an italian pun, when you can't say "pussy" you say "foca"
I didn't know that! 😂
