Metal Queeeeeen!

Gotta love YouTube — someone’s posted the video for Lee Aaron’s Metal Queen! For those of you who didn’t watch MuchMusic in the 1980’s, this video was a key element in my sweaty teenage fantasies. It featured the lovely Lee Aaron (nee Karen Lynn Greening, according to her Wikipedia article) as the Metal Queen, who wore a buckskin bikini and wielded a big sword. She’s captured by evil druids, who chain her and try to sacrifice her on a large pyre. She does a lot of sweaty thrashing about before being resuced by a giant laser robot spider, which I always thought was a bit too expeident in its rescue. You could let her thrash about just a little more, couldn’t you, Spider?!

Everybody sing!

She come like thunder.. risin’ from the ground

She’ll bring you under she moves without a sound

She holds a passion, like no other could

Now when she talks the word’s understood

Writin’, electric song

So get a ticket you jus’ got to get on

(Metal Queen…)

(Metal Queen…)

They come to see her move across the stage

One single motion, turns into a rage

She holds a power, like no other man

Now when she runs catch ‘er if you can

Writin’, electric song

So get a ticket you jus’ got to get on

(Metal Queen…) (rocks your soul)

(Metal Queen…) (takes control)

(Metal Queen…) (rocks your soul)

(Metal Queen…) (takes control)

Oh… oh… oh… oh…

Oh… oh… oh… oh….. oh!

She come like thunder risin’ from the ground

She takes you under she moves without a sound

She reeks of power, like no other man

Well now she’s runnin’.. catch ‘er if you can

Writin’ electric song

So get a ticket you jus’ got to get on

(Metal Queen…) (rocks your soul)

(Metal Queen…) (takes control)

(Metal Queen…) (rocks your soul)

(Metal Queen…) (takes control)

Yow!

“Yow”, indeed.
