As you know, many songs go off of the testosterone driven society of men we have today. So, which are the manliest songs?

I nominate "Now You're A Man" by DVDA, and not just because 97% of what is said is the word man.

Here's the song, with "Final Fantasy" clips: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCt1Y5HBkRc

"I'll Cry Instead", "Yesterday", "I'm a Loser", "Something", "No Reply", and "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" by the Beatles. At least, regarding a real Man.

Otherwise, that Toby Keith song from a few years back. Red Face


"Naked Woman, Naked Man
Where did you get that nice sun tan?"

Just read the lyrics

I always thought "YMCA" by The Village People was the manliest song. Big Grin

I second the James Brown nomination.

"It's A Man's Man's Man's World"

"This is a man's world, this is a man's world
But it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman or a girl"

And I second the Beatles "Something". George was the man alright- he summed up life the universe and everything in that classic song.

I'd go Juicy J "North Memphis Pt.2", Any George Thorogood song, or Born To Be Wild.

Don't you worry about JB's manliness doing all those splits?

James Brown's crotch is so titanium hard that the human race will become extinct before it decomposes. You should check the stages for dents.

AC/DC....

.choose between Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap or It's A Long Way To The Top (if You wanna rock 'n' roll) , because surviving in the hells of Aussie pubs playing rock, or killing people for a few bucks are both very manly pursuits .. Wink


Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.

I'd nominate just about any Bon Scott-era AC/DC track. If that's not manly rock, I don't know what is.

My personal faves: "Rocker" & "Whole Lotta Rosie".

Well, wearing "hot pants" on stage is pretty damn manly. Cool

What about some Brian Johnson era? I always thought "Let me put my love into you" must be about the manliest love song possible. Or Led Zep's "Whole lotta love".

Mostly because they're singing about 'love' to the ladies, but actually love just means penis. Manly.

Funny you mention Led Zep. There's a pretty obvious homoerotic quality to Led Zep, particularly Robert Plant. I wouldn't call them manly, yet the manliest of men seem to love them. Freud would have a field day dissecting the love most guys have for Led Zep, Aerosmith, the Rolling Stones and others.
