Thread Name: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Subject: RE: Most classic headbanging songs ever!
Wincing Devil, "O Fortuna" is right ON! My husband and I like to freak the high schoolers on the last day of school by driving through the parking lot headbanging to "O Fortuna" cranked all the way UP with the windows open.

For those of you going, "What?": "O Fortuna" has been used in a lot of movies over the years, so people who haven't heard _Carmina Burana_ (a modern arrangement of medieval bar songs about sex, girls, bad luck, and beer--great stuff!) probably know "O Fortuna" anyway. Anybody out there who's seen _Excalibur_ will remember it from Arthur's first brave ride and from his later valiant charge against despair. I think it's in a Conan movie too. The gist of the song, BTW, is "Luck, if you're a lady, I'm the bastard King of England."

But this list must include "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen!
