A couple of years ago, Tuff did a song called American Hairband. It's a rapped spoof of Kid Rock's song "American Badass" that sends it up by changing the lyrics to praising hair bands, and the music underneath it is the riffs from Sad But True by Metallica haha!

The cool thing though, is the lyrics... see how many hard rock & heavy metal references you can find in these lyrics!!!!! Pretty much every word of the song almost is there for a reason, like a famous line from a song or a song title or something from the '80s!

American Hairband:

Yeah, well I've been up and been down, town to town with several bands,
Then tortured for ten long years by critics, agents and the A&R man, and some bandwagon fans.
It's time to stand up, fight back, be proud and once again be free,
So if you want a piece of me, come and get it!

Kurt Cobain is gone but I'm back
Wearing leather pants and a backwards hat
Guitars slung low
Where the down boys go
The night trains back so on with the show
I'm Metal Health
And dressed to thrill
I'm an SMF with the looks that kill
I rocked and rolled, n' long hair is back
And I grew up, singing Strutter, And Back in Black
I'm going back to eighty-nine
I went Platinum zero times
You're in the jungle sweet child o'mine
I want another piece of that cherry pie

Chorus :
They call 'em hairbands
Leather jacket in black
Throw your hands in the air
Yeah we're bringing it back
N' Say (Shout, Shout) At the Devil again
And Say (Shout, Shout) At the Devil my friend
So Say (Shout, Shout) never letting it end and say (Shout, Shout, Shout, Shout) yeah…(Bad Medicine)

I like Old Van Halen and Hanoi Rocks
Black n' Blue and Britny Fox
Guns n' Roses, Motley Crue
When Def Leppard rocked and Skid Row ruled
Yeah, Ratt went round n' round
Rocking out in Boston, get loud in Chi-town
Vandenberg, Priest, Dokken, Kix
Throwing Faster Pussycat in the mix (P-P-P-P-P-Pussycat)
Give me L.A. Guns & The Dangerous Toys
Quiet Riot, Bang Tango & Bullet Boys
Love Johnny Crash, grunge bands are trash
I like C.C. DeVille, Mick Mars, and Slash

(Chorus)

Yeah, I saw your grunge band, staring at your shoes on stage, wearing that dirty flannel shirt,
when you gonna learn dirtball, you just can't fuck with Twisted Sister.
"What are you going to do with your life"?

I'm an American hairband
Watch me rock
You can raise your hands
Or you can suck my cock
Heavy Metal God
I'm a Pin-up boy
I'm the singer from Tuff not Pretty Boy Floyd
Super loud and Super wild
Sebastian Bach is youth gone wild
Diamond Dave and Nikki Sixx
I wanna see Tommy Lee back spinning those sticks
Up all night, gonna sleep all day
I love girls; girls, girls and I love L.A.
I won't waste my breath, but here's a clue
Give Pearl Jam & Eddie a big fuck you
Who cares about Weezer and the Screeming Trees
When we got White Lion
And of course the Sleeze Beez
If you wanna rock n' roll then read my lips
Let's shout it out loud
For a band named KISS

(Chorus)

I'm a hairband wanted dead or alive
Singing (Shout, Shout, Shout, Shout)
I wanna rock n' roll in the still of the night
Say (Shout, Shout, Shout, Shout)
Gonna take you down to the Paradise city
And (Shout, Shout, Shout, Shout)
Everybody let's sing talk dirty to me
 
:lol: :lol:

I haven't heard Sleeze Beez yet, read heaps about them though and been meaning to check them out! Apparently their 1987 debut is AWFUL but the 2 albums they did in the early '90s are brilliant.
 
I just heard some clips from the '87 album "Look Like Hell". Has to be some of the most mediocre, boring, badly produced and played hard rock I've heard.

However the other 2 albums Powertool and the one with Tattooed in the title are meant to be great. I wanna hear some.
 
Yeah Screwed Blued and Tattooed that's what I was thinking of! That's what I've been trying to come across at Radical Records or something. Hopefully I'll find it soon.
 
Trent, what you need to find is anything by Tiger Tailz, these guys are most glam thing I have ever heard, " Got a lady your a love bomb baby, Love bomb baby, cmon blow me away, Can't get enough of your sweet love baby etc"

they are quite gay really, thus I think you'd like them, and I have a Faster Pussycat vinyl, and you don't. :)
 
Hahahaha yep I'm yet to own any Faster Pussycat :) The first album rocks though I have to get it. I've only heard one track from "Wake Me When It's Over", I didn't like it, so I don't know if that album is good or not.

I'm actually picking up the "Bezerk" album by Tigertailz soon coz I know where to get it cheap on vinyl now, it's been on my "must get" list for a while lol. Love Bomb Baby ROCKS! Wanna get "Young & Crazy" too.

I think it's their 3rd album... actually has glam covers of Creeping Death and Peace Sells But Who's Buying haha! :headbang:
