These crazy italians are very welcome to Scandinavia as honorary vikings for this 😎👍. We need a huge viking party soon. For all of Europe (and Canada 😊
Two fun fact: First - "Falegn-amen" is the union between two words: falegname and the classic "Amen". When Mike The Hammer sing "Just like Jesus, i'm a Carpenter" Carpenter is the right english translation of Falegname. Second - Trading Places here in Italy is broadcasting every Christmas night on TV. Greetings and thanks for the laughs ❤️
I love the Pippi Longstocking wig on the guitarist. Fun fact, they were on a IKEA tour, playing in stores. Without telling IKEA about it. 😁 They played until they got thrown out.
Best Ikea Commercial ever. Just random bits of info :) Yggdrasil is the Tree of Life in Northern Mythology, also most of the Words you (most likely don't understand) are Furnitures you can buy in IKEA like bedframes etc. The Horse meatballs, were a Scandal in Sweden were Meatballs were made from Horses (nothing wrong with that) but it was labeled as another kind of meat. Systembolaget is the only place in Sweden where you legally can buy alcohol over 3.5%.
Their songs "Norwegian reggaeton" and "Barbie MILF princess of the twilight" are both cool but their humour is based on many in-jokes, one needs to be familiar with black metal lore for the first one and Rhapsody of Fire for the second. Still, "And then I noticed that she was a Gargoyle" and "Uranus" are great and funny too, and no particular previous knowledge is needed.
Just so you know, the "Trading Places" reference at the end is because a private television in Italy has aired that movie on christmas eve for the last 15 years or so
I was the one who requested this ! :-) I enjoyed every minute of this reaction video and laughed together with you both... here's to your next one ! Best wishes : Gerry
Loved your reactions! This is one of the funniest songs I’ve ever heard, and i call these guys the “Weird Al” Yankovic of metal. You should give “Norwegian Reggaeton” a try.
A few side notes here. Systembolaget is a state-owned chain of stores here in Sweden and the only place where you can buy alcoholic drinks. Both Amon Amarth (melodic death metal with a heavy inspiration from the Viking era) and Hammerfall (heavy/power metal) are Swedish metal bands. The guy with the green armor is Thomas Winkler (called Angus McFife from when he was in the band Gloryhammer during this time) He is now in his own band called Angus McSIX
A very deep and very funny rabbit hole. They are currently doing deliberately dull Italian pop songs to troll the record company and fans. One of them has a P.H.D in Astrophysics !
The even deeper joke is that it IS actually a christmas song. The midwinter rituals go waaay back before christianity was a even a random thought in the head of some mideastern prophet. Odin is not a random choice here. So basically the christian church captured the midwinter festivities from the "heathens" and put their own rituals on top, then it got stolen by Coca Cola and now Nanowar of Steel stole it right back :-D
"Nothing rhymes with Nicaragua". How about "messhugah"? Which is not only a band, but the Yiddish word for crazy...which fits this marvelous video. I love connections :).
I suggest you another Italian metal band called Frozen Crown, they play power epic metal. They were founded in 2018 and they have released 2 albums by now with a third one on the way in a few days. If you want check out "Neverending", "Forever" or "I am the tyrant". All 3 songs have official videos :) They are a fantastic band with an excellent female vocalist called Giada :)
By the way.... "Falegname" means "Carpenter" in italian, so "falegnamen" is basically mixing "Falegname" and "Amen" words. Useless insight, but even still...
There are tons of Easter eggs throughout the video. Plays on words, the outfits and beards... I laugh every time I see it. Check out their songs Norwegian Reggaeton, Uranus, And then I noticed She was a Gargoyle, Barbie MILF Princess Of The Twilight... they are all fun. Unfortunately, Nanowar of Steel are having issues making money these days on just You Tube as a comedic metal band. They have been making parody videos of pop songs to show how ridiculous the music industry is. A few weeks ago, they did a video called 10 Hours Of Nanananananana, yes.... 10 hours of them singing Nanananananana. It is quite hilarious.
Great reaction by the you guys. Your smile was constant through the entire song. As a Swede, i find this song very funny and very catchy :) Also, that Ginger is a real beauty. But that was a sidenote :) Subscribing.
parody specifically about Swedish chrismas, which is actually mostly pagan/norse with some christian elements. It features some Swedish quirks like Systembolaget and when they ran out of viking themes they spent half the song randomly quoting the IKEA catalog.
I'm going back and watching last year's reactions to this amazing song, since not many have reacted to it this year yet. Somehow I'd missed yours until now. How did we get from A to B? Some have suggested that the first part, prior to the Hebrew lyrics, was the Old Testament of Odin, with the plunder, rape, and chopping of heads, while the second part, after Odin whips off the Santa beard, is the New Testament, with a gentle god, no more war just design of furniture. My favorite bit of obscure humor in this is the manual. The futhark runes on the front translate to the name of the famous Viking dragon longship, also pictured on the cover, so that's what you're buying from IKEA when you get that manual. And what tools does it say you need to build it? A standard screwdriver, a Phillips head screwdriver, a pencil, a Viking round shield, a double-headed battle axe, and a mug of mead/ale.
Somehow missed that you did this one! Great reaction, fun to see you laughing throughout. On a more modest and contrasting note, I also like "I Fear Ikea" by The Lancashire Hotpots. 😁 I love that you got the Sasha Grey joke - I had to have that explained to me..
So many more great songs from these guys but Uranus is my favourite. If you want more comedy metal take a look at Alestorm, tongue in cheek pirate songs! Love the 'anchor' song but it will probably get blocked!
😂 you made me laugh and I have seen this song a thousand times 😂 Great reaction Now my suggestion would be to check the new album Dislike to false Metal and the first three videos
Her: *"He's probably still worrying about what's gonna happen at the business meeting tomorrow morning..."* Him: *"Kisha Grey is better than Sasha Grey."*
*Or, like the much beloved young scientists in "The Big Bang Theory" stated, as they had to build up a wardrobe made by IKEA : "Now this explains, why Sweden has no space program...." * 🎵😁👍 *Greetings & Stay safe.* 🎵🔥🌟🎵✅

@@NicholasCorvin I took it as the joke is was meant to be. 😁 I just wanted to tell you that we do have a space agency and a rocket launch site that's been used several times a year to send scientific probe rockets and balloons to space and "near space" . We also have two astronauts, Christer Fuglesang and Jessica Meir (She has a Swedish citizenship, so even if she represents the US in space we claim her as ours) 😉😁. Stay safe and have a good day.
@@darkiee69 Well, north of Kiruna...and Jukkasjarvi. Interesting place ;). And I bet the guys in Nanowar know all about it, and were just making a joke.
@@MikeandGinger I want more reactions! In spite of this, I wish you a Merry Xmass! ( hei bro, be patient: if my english sound strange, well i'm italian!🤣🤣🤣)Buon Natale!!!!
These mad lads played this live in Italy and fully assembled an IKEA table on stage during the end of the song!
they also did an "unofficial" tour in IKEA stores 🤣🤣🤣 love them !
These crazy italians are very welcome to Scandinavia as honorary vikings for this 😎👍. We need a huge viking party soon. For all of Europe (and Canada 😊
the last Scandinavian party created Normandy XD
SKAL!
SKÅL!
There were permanent Viking ssttlements in Southern Italy so it's not that far-fetched
As a Minnesotan I'm personally inviting myself to this viking party
You know a song is really good, when the male gets the Sacha Grey joke immediately 😊
If Metal is family, these are the crazy cousins! Love it!

the main thing was also the treasure hunt for the fans... who ran everywhere messing everything to find cds, t-shirts and various merc... genius XD
Power metal might be the silliest genre. So embrace it for all it’s worth. This is art.
Make furniture great again!
Best Ikea Commercial ever.
Just random bits of info :)
Yggdrasil is the Tree of Life in Northern Mythology, also most of the Words you (most likely don't understand) are Furnitures you can buy in IKEA like bedframes etc.

la risata di lui su Sasha Grey è la vera perla.

Great reaction. They tried to do concerts inside of Ikea but they were kicked out 🤘😁🤘
Yeah, they didn't bother telling IKEA they were doing it🤣
Ikea owes them :).
And now they’re banned from ikea

Apt descriptor, I'd say. Though they're a bit more raunchy than Weird Al.
Not only is this funny, it's a really good song too. Extremely reminds me of Jack Black's band Tenacious D.

Good job having six kids! My grandma had six!
Can't wait their reaction to the Gargoyle and Barbie MILF Princess of the Twilight songs!
Vegan Velociraptor
Uranus
Now you know why I was so much suggesting it for your Christmas countdown 🎄 🤘
Uranus has to be next!
I think the bald bearded dude is meant to be Yannis Papadopoulous of Beast In Black. 🤣🤘😈💜
Now you have to do Norwegian Reggaeton
By the way.... "Falegname" means "Carpenter" in italian, so "falegnamen" is basically mixing "Falegname" and "Amen" words. Useless insight, but even still...

You're not gonna believe this... I ACTUALLY got an IKEA ad before this video!😂😂
Lol. They’re listening 🤣

Tell that to Sacred Reich 😂

Q, How did they get from A to B?
A. with bracket C
In Italian carpenter is called "falegname"..
Falegn_ amen!
Greetings from Italy❤
Never laugh at the Sasha Grey part when reacting with your wife ... questions will be asked...
Naw! Out of the two of us, I’m more of a porn connoisseur than he is 🤣 - G
@@MikeandGinger I love how you both reacted to it openly rather than just shooting embarrassed looks when hearing that line. 😁
Just get sink like that for Mike!😁
Now you must check out "Uranus" form this same group
Just here for Ginger ...and her big red hair
That would wake you up in the morning 🇬🇧💞🌹
We have 2 ikea foutons in our living room and an ikea table and benches in our dining room that we have had for about 12 to 15 years
It is a Christmas song--the same way that Die Hard and Lethal Weapon are Christmas movies....
Perfect! - G
At the end of the video you can see on the TV "Trading Places", a Christmas movie here in Italy.
Did you guys see the assembly instructions on the box? Screwdriver, shield, axe and beer.
I can follow those 🤣 - G
Don`t worry red ....Sasha Grey can never beat you!!!
Just so fun.
Great Reaction. How did i miss you two... i check out your other reactions.
Thank you! - G
Sooo.... now You need to react to Uranus and And Then I Noticed That She Was a Gargoyle with Nanowar

finally.... this will be fun :-)
jupp it was a x-mas song (now you can do Norwegian Reggeaton)
yesssss
Please react to Marcelito Pomoy again. 😢
Try his 'I Believe' its really astounding.
Her: *"He's probably still worrying about what's gonna happen at the business meeting tomorrow morning..."*
Him: *"Kisha Grey is better than Sasha Grey."*
Haha. I know my husband better than that 🤣 - G
i cound'nt do jack with this lot. i'd be too busy rolling around the floor. How do you keep yourself together recording this.
Chase Carneson laughed until he cried when he reacted to this. 😂
We grew up on Weird Al and Monty Python. We’re girded 🤣 - G
@@MikeandGinger yeah I a brit, python is a dna implant.

@@darkiee69 hiya seen you rock up few times vet channels with some wicked sabaton suggestions.
