"Heavy Metal" as written by Robert Halford, Kenneth Downing and Glenn Raymond Tipton....
When the power chords come crashing down
Go tearing through my senses
It's for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It's therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
And blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armor plated raging beast
That's born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Go tearing through my senses
It's for the strong, not for the weak
In light and dark dimension
It stimulates, regenerates
It's therapeutic healing
It lifts our feet up off the ground
And blasts us through the ceiling
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Ten thousands lights come blazing down
With razor sharp precision
The speakers pour out molten steel
The beat gives double vision
An armor plated raging beast
That's born of steel and leather
It will survive against all odds
Stampeding on forever
Between the eyes
I hear it screaming
And it electrifies
Your inner feelings
Hot shock waves charge the air
All heads are banging
Fists pumping everywhere
Guitars are cranking
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want
Heavy metal, heavy metal
What do you want

I my self like this song.
Heavy metal in all forms great. At home, at drinking, at concerts its totally best. Metal concerts are always freaking awesome.
That moment when a song starts, you may not like the band but you know the genre and a part of you feels the beat and fury.
For me I was 8 years old I listened to Adam & The Ants who had some pretty fierce songs themselves (loved the Burrundi drumming style) and then I heard it -
Motorhead's Motorhead and my music taste changed forever.
This song is in many way just as potent
