G man, sing some of Yngwie's fun "I am a Viking" tune to blow off a little steam   ;D  :o

I am a Viking, I'm going out to war
And I've got death upon my mind
As I was leavin' oh yesterday
I've got no fear in my heart

Chorus
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away, far away into the sea yeah yeah

I am a warrior my mind is set to kill
Life or death is on the line
I am a slayer and you will taste my steel
I've got your life right in my hand

Chorus
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away, far away into the sea yeah yeah

You are a loser and it's such a shame
That you're a fool and you don't know
That I'm a viking I'll walk all over you
And by my sword you will die

Chorus
As the shores of my home disappear
I sail over the sea without fear
Dragon ships are charging through the waves
Just want to sail away, far away into the sea yeah yeah

Title: Re: Norwegian Wood
Post by: Geir on September 01, 2009, 05:15:33 PM
I think that in the 60s actual Norwegian wood was quite popular in homes in brittain. 'It still is in Norway, at least in cabins. My cabin (in which many of my songs are written and recorded) is quite but not entirely made of Norwegian wood ;D

Thanks for clearing that up. I thought Norwegian wood was what you get when you see Norwegian-born actress Natassia Malthe (http://news.softpedia.com/news/Vampire-Nudity-with-Natassia-Malthe-in-BloodRayne-2-39521.shtml).  :o  ;)

Hey Jim , great cover mate , Beatles rule still
  "Norwegian Wood is a common term when referring to marijuana. The song is basically about a guy that goes to this girl's house, smokes a bunch of joints, and passes out in the tub. And when he wakes up to see that she isn't there, he sparks up another joint, hence the line "So I lit a fire, isn't it good, Norwegian Wood." The "fire" is the end of the joint.
 BTW Wiley , Norwegian Wood is a place in London where Paul McCartney used to live

Geir here's a viking for you
