Say what you want to about Udo Dirkschneider, but that man could write some deep-ass lyrics about easy riders.

I think they may have been deep, anyway. Actually, I never have any idea what Udo is talking about. But it makes me laff every time I hear him squawk about easy riders.

London Leatherboys
Walking down the main street, I see a city's face;
boys dressed in leather, girls dressed in lace.
See the easy riders, they're roaring down their way.
They need to give full speed ahead.
They've been bunched together to keep their crazy life.
They turn on the power, get wrecked every night.
Got some kind of feeling looking in his eyes.
I feel the power surge to a head.
London Leather Boys. Nightmare's pleasure. (What you've done?)
London Leather Boys. All together.
After all the roaring, the sound of silence scares.
Girl of the leader cried in his arms.
Don't you see the danger when we are running wild?
Please stop the games; it's getting late
London Leather Boys...
Swearing that you would do, he could not even say.
Boy dressed in leather, boy died in pain.
They're the easy riders, but heroes die too fast.
He was more than the best ot the bunch.
Best together. Lousy leather. Say what's better, all together!
London Leatherboys...

London Leatherboys. That sounds like a Las Vegas gay revue.

Aww, you kept the Hellery icon!

Yap, I had to go back and find it! I printed it out for my dad a few weeks ago, and he was quite perplexed.

And yeah, I think Udo might be the slightest bit flamey. Check out the cover of the album that "London Leatherboys" comes from:

Holy hell. I think that's the bottom part of this picture:

The title alone cracks me up.

I remember how surprised I was that Udo was 5'4".

Lyrically, it's no Blackout, but it'll do.

Egad--now I know why I never paid the slightest bit of attention to the Scorps' lyrics. But now, of course, I'm going to be looking them up all day. Check out "Another Piece of Meat": http://www.lyricsfreak.com/s/scorpions/another+piece+of+meat_20122461.html

Wow. Just...wow.

In fairness, if I was trying to write lyrics in German, they might come out sounding something like that.
