“
I am a big fan of BABYMETAL, a band that is both power rocking and constantly surprising with dizzying musical twists and turns. I’ve been trying to work with them for some time and when they sent me the demo of METALI!! I knew I could rock that shit like crazy!
It’s the metal-village festival metal song
A festival, a festival, come together
Make a ring, make a ring
Let the party horns dance!
Brothers and sisters of metal-village too
A festival, a festival, come together
Make a ring, make a ring
Sing together!
Like that, like that, let's go! Let's go!
A fool who dances is a fool who sees
Let's dance like fools
Like that, like that, let's go! Let's go!
You have to dance and sing
You have to sing and dance
Everyone has to dance, dance dance
We don’t go home!
Dance, dance!
Dance! Like that, like that, let's go!
Shake it! Shake it!
Like that! Like that!
Sing! Sing!
Sing! Like that, like that, let's go!
Shout! Shout!
Like that! Like that!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
The people asleep wake up and let's go
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi! Wasshoi!
Everyone and anyone let's go
~ Like fools who dance, fools who watch If we're all fools, we'll dance If we don't dance now, when will we dance? Do the metal, do the metal ~
