Some of the stuff they have in there just has me scratching my head. I mean, I'll admit to being something of a closet metalhead, but who on earth does Iron Maiden or Stratovarius at a noraebang?

I for one regularly belt out "stray cat strut" (only found that one in a weird "box" noraebang at an arcade), "you got another thing comin'," and "what a wonderful world"

I'm surprised by the random Radiohead and Nirvana songs they have... some of the Nirvana songs I don't even know.

The Korean "Mummy Bear, Daddy bear' song always throws me.


Especially the fact that someone always sings it without fail.

I could understand "You've Got Another Thing Coming" by 'Priest. That was a radio hit. But I've seen a lot of obscure songs from obscure bands in some of the books. Songs by Dream Theatre, Ygnwie Malmsteen, Helloween, Accept, Krokus, Angra, really obscure Judas Priest, etc.

My friend, who's a singer, did a kick-a$$ version of "Aces High" by 'Maiden.

Dream Theater has played in Korea at least twice. I love the RATM songs and get a kick out of doing drunken Slipknot and Disturbed songs. I can't keep up and just start babbling in my own sweat.

RATM songs? What's that?

If you're familiar with Dream Theatre, you should check ou that John Petrucci Psycho Guitar Exercises clip by Adam02. Very funny.

RATM = Rage Against The Machine

They usually have Bombtrack, Freedom and Take The Power Back

I've been known to belt out "Run to the Hills" when sufficiently lagered up. Number of the Beast was an awesome album
