You got that right. oh my god my daughter just said how bout Alien Ant Farm doing Micheal Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" that has to be the worst there is of course it wasn't very good to begin with.

 

[Joel-RZ]

I would rather listen to Smooth Criminal, either the original or the AAF version, than listen to anything by Manowar (or a remake of)...unless of course im drunk. Then , of course, it goes without saying that I would LOVE to ride that horse of steeeeeeel into battle with a metal cry!
