I just love it how EVERY reaction video of this song is same in one regard. When the Sasha Grey reference comes, everyone clearly gets it but then just as clearly decides "Ok, I'll pretend I didn't get that."
Fun Fact: The Band Gloryhammer (who's (now former) lead singer Thomas Winkler aka Angus McFife sang Odin) confirmed that this Video is in fact canonical part of the Gloryhammer Lore after their third album For those that don't know: Gloryhammers music is pretty much one large Story. This would be the relevant part for this cameo: Angus McFife XIII was the king of the Galactic Empire of Fife (a fictious kindom from scotland that conquered the universe) and battled the evil wizard Zargothrax. After the destruction of earth in order to stop Zargothrax, both he and Angus fell through a interdimensional rift and ended up in an alternate universe, where Zargothrax conquered the whole Galaxy and Angus helped a resistence take him down. During the final fight, Angus gets stabbed with an enchanted knive that would turn him evil. To stop that, he decides to throw himself in a vulcano And than (according to the Band) he becomes Angus McOdin, the one and only Master of Ikea in the Nanowar of Steel universe
As of now, I've seen half a dozen of reactions to this song. What is great, is no two commentators react on the same things. For instance, you're the 1st to react to the Pippi Långstrump guitarist, which I completely overlooked. In fact, after watching 20+ reaction videos, I MAY get all the jokes/wordplays/references in the song...
YESSS! Your really the first that notice the Pippi references. I've waited a long time. Kudos. And keep it up, i'm really enjoying your Videos. New Subscriber here. Greetings from Hannover Germany.
Quick explanation. They are Italian and in the last part of the song they sing "Falegn-Amen". In italian "falegname" means carpenter, so they took "falegname" and combined it with amen, as a word play on jesus and odin (master of IKEA).
I don't have any issues with horse meat either, but I think the issue was that it wasn't "declared" as such (or whatever the term is). Hell, I wouldn't have any issues eating dog or cat meat (and I really like dogs and _love_ cats) - as long as I knew beforehand that that's what it was. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Wolf-ln1ml The problem was also that since it wasn't declared you also didn't know where it came from. Race horses get a lot of antibiotics etc and would maybe not be suitable for food (since you don't want traces of it in the meat as it could cause resistance). So both that it didn't say horse meat on it and also that you could not trace the meat to its source since it wasn't really suppose to be there in the first place.
As a Swede living in the UK, I tend to go to the nearest IKEA mainly for the food, although since brex-shit, they sell less and less and when they do get something in, it sells out quickly. I used to work at Gillebagarn in Orkelljunga, making biscuits for IKEA for many years and at least they still seem to sell those so I stock up on a box or two for nostalgic reasons mainly, when I get a chance. It always feels like 'home' going to IKEA, their meatballs and mash with lingon is a must have meal in the restaurant.
Idc this video is 4 months old I gotta share this story. When I was a teen in Florida we did a road trip to Orlando and the middle of the state is all horse and cow ranches. So me and my buddies stopped at some small town to get gas and eat. We went to a burger king and I kid you not there was a horse ranch right behind it and when we were pulling in a guy on a horse at the drive thru window lol. Ok that was all lead up to this. Me and my friends are sitting down eating and I jokingly said these horse burgers are great. My friend Alex without missing a beat said ya they are. And we kept up this dumb conversation till everyone left the place lol. Was like 20ppl which for such a small town had to be a solid percentage.
same here here in germany, with the horse scandal-thing, my mom just raided them markets, whiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeerr PRRRRRRRRRRR, you think some got left behind? ;D
Everytime someone doesn't get the joke of Odin being the guitar tech of Amon Amarth my heart breaks a little 💔 Or you got It but didn't find It funny? I had to stop the video because I was laughing to tears. You know Amon Amarth, right? I'm glad you liked it though💕
1:28 Just a shame cigarettes aren't treated in the same way. 6:55 The reason people were angry (as far as I remember it) is that it was mystery meat - As in it was meat that wasn't made for eating (I.E. animals that are used for sports, companionship etc.). Which means that it can be treated with things we don't want to get into us (E.G. drugs like Phenylbutazone), so it's illegal to treat livestock with. Horse meat in itself, as far as I can remember, is pretty tasty and can (could?) be bought as a sandwich-spread. 9:50 Some IKEA stuff is great, other stuff is less so, or at least was. 12:50 What'd you expect of a Smålänning? o.O
Check out Norwegian Reggeaton from the same band! Also, please note that the band is Italian :-P Metal has a long, long history of just being fun. There's lots of great fun metal bands just joking around, while still being freaking incredibly talented and awesome. This is just the surface.
Funny to hear you describe the founder of IKEA that way.... because the founder of Walmart, Sam Walton, was famous in part for driving a beat-up old pickup, even tho he was literally the richest man in the world for a time.
My main chair is _still_ one I got about 25 ago from IKEA. Faux leather office chair, even one that was on display, so not "entirely" new. The upholstery needs some work, but other than that, it's holding up just fine. Loved that chair since I got it 🥰
happy new year, viking dude! if i could humbly request you check out one of the three following songs, depending on what you're already familiar with. In Flames - "Metaphor", a great, almost country music song by a Swedish melodic death metal band, Insomnium - "The Day it All Came Down" by a heavy and depressing Finnish melodish death metal band, or "Never Forgive, Never Forget" by Swedish melodi death metal band Arch Enemy (alternatively, the song "Nemesis" by the same band)
If you want some more IKEA music there is Mitch Benn's IKEA Song Mitch Benn was on a weekly topical comedy show on BBC Radio 4 and each week wrote a topical song and this one was from when Ingvar Kamprad became the richest man in the world Here is the original radio version: th-cam.com/video/L7-D2pPP-u0/w-d-xo.html I think he turned it into a track on his album.
Interestingly Beowulf the oldest hero in Anglo-Saxon literature was a Geat (in modern Swedish Götar) and the whole of Beowulf was set around what is now Southern Sweden and East Denmark. BTW I was until I retired early to care for my partner a teacher of Mathematics and English
seeing as you are a teacher, the next time you choose a sabaton song, add the same song from the history channel to get more detail. you will learn a lot to teach. Dave south africa
I would like to note that IKEA is great. Except lamps! For some reason they can't make nice lamps. But maybe that's only the case in Germany and the beautiful lamps are exclusively available in Sweden^^
Of course vikings didn't have horns on their helmets, that'd be redundant, but as was asked in Hägar the Terrible already - how did they get their helmets _over_ their horns? 🤣
You're a good commenter, but a bit too many interruptions here. Maybe listen to more of the song and comment later, or make longer but fewer comments as you break (just suggestions).
Do you really need to pause it every half-a-second? Do you really have somewhat so important to say instead of enjoying the song? "Oh, btw I have a tea-pots in my kitchen". We're glad, yeah. Kinda.
for non italian speaking. "Falegn - amen" joke. Falegname is the italian word for carpenter , and they changed an hebrew prayer from "shema israel, Adonai elohenu , Adonai ehad" meaning more or less "listen israel, god is one , god is great" to "shema yggdrasill , Odinai elohenu , Odinai ehad" . I suggest to watchfrom Nanowar also Uranus, And the he noticed that she was a gargoyle, norwegian reggaeton and Polenta taragnarock .
@@simpleviking I think in Nanowar of Steel songs there are a lot of different language-jokes, as their bassplayer, a phd Astrophysicist, speaks 10 different languages fluently.
Nanowar of Steel are an Italian band and they are known for making fun metal songs and to take nothing and no one serious. But beside having ridicules songs and videos, they are great musicians. Greetz from Germany
as a side note here, both Hammerfall (heavy/power metal) and Amon amarth (melodic death metal with a heavy influence from the Viking era) are Swedish metal bands in case you did not know (from a fellow Swede)
Enjoyed your "insider remarks". :))) Good to have this band, their sense of humor leaves nothing sacred - but it pays major homage to our cultural idols AND musical gods. And these Italians can certainly play! All hail NANOWAR (OF STEEL)! P. S.: If curious who they "stole" their name from, listen to MANOWAR and RHAPSODY (OF FIRE). :)) The humorous guys give the "serious" over-the-top stuff of their godfathers a run for the money. \m/
They said once thar they werw kicked out from a couple of Ikea stores here in Italy because they had hidden CDs amd gadgets in the cabinets amd stuff and customers were making a mess loiking for it all😂 Anywah you should try and listen to more of their stuff... they're super
I like your Reactions about different Songs, could you maybe listen to Saltatio Mortis - My mother told me (Official Music Video) and make your React about it?
Yeah, he looks like Pipi Langstrumpf ^^ Other awesome Nanowar songs: Barbie, Milf Princess of the Twilight Norwegian Reggeaton And then i noticed that she was a gargoyle
10:11 there is a fun word joke, they say "FALEGN-AMEN" that is a mix of the Italian word "falegname" that means "carpenter" and "amen". Nanowar of steel are indeed from Italy, they make a lot of funny videos, like "Uranus", "Barbie milf" or "Ironmonger"... just to mention some of those sung in Englich. You could check them too
I love your reactions and upbeat personality! After the "Deutschland" video, I subscribed very quickly. And THIS video was so much fun. 😁 Would love to see your reaction to Dimmu Borgir's "Sorgens Kammer." It's an interesting piece of music and the video is...unique.

they still have the pencils in Ikea in France ^^
About the hair, in English it would be Pippi Longstocking and in Dutch (which I am) Pippi Langkous.
Edit: In German it is Pippi Langstrumpf
In Spain "Pipi Calzaslargas"
In Italy it's Pippi Calzelunghe
in France it's Fifi Brindacier
