Metallica didn't play the prom. They WENT to the prom!

Dorky picture notwithstanding, Metallica is a pretty good band.  And since this is October, I think it’s fitting that all the Friday 90’s songs and videos be as creepy as possible.  These boobs and their video fit the bill!

  • Creepy Old Man?  Check
  • Kid?  Check
  • Giant 18 Wheeler smashing into a bed in the desert?  Check…wait, what?

Yep, the video was creepy and the song was, too.  I can’t remember if this song was them finally making it big or them selling out.  I’m sure there were two sides who waged some sort of war about it.  I was not one of them.

Metallica is a band that sort of sounds like it could be the name of a state.  “Welcome to Metallica!  Buckle Up!”  “Metallica – the Land of Lars!”  “We chased him until he crossed the Metallica border!”

THE DELEGATES FROM THE GREAT STATE OF METALLICA PLEDGE THEIR DELEGATES TO RANDY RHOADS!  WHAT?  DEAD?  FUCK IT, THEN!  WE ABSTAIN!

Video and Lyrics after the jump!

Metallica – Enter Sandman:

Say your prayers little one
Don`t forget my son
To include everyone
I tuck you in
walk within
Keep you free from sin
’til the sandman he comes

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
Take my hand
We’re off to never never-land

Something’s wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren’t of Snow White
Dreams of war
Dreams of liars
Dreams of dragons fire
And of things that will bite, yeah

Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight

Exit light
Enter night
take my hand
We’re off to never never-land

(whisper)
Now I lay me down to sleep (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to keep (x2)
If I die before I wake (x2)
Pray the lord my soul to take (x2)

Hush little baby don’t say a word
And never mind that noise you heard
It’s just the beasts under your bed
In your closet and in your head

Exit light
Enter night
Grain of sand

Exit light
Enter Night
Take my hand!
We’re off to never never-land

Yeah, ha ha ha

Boom

Yeah, yeah
oh, whoa

We’re off to never never-land

Take my hand
We’re off to never never-land
Take my hand
We’re off to never never-land

We’re off to never never-land
