Mental As Anything - Berserk Warriors Lyrics

I've always loved the songs of this band but this one without a doubt is their best. Shame they don't write music like this anymore.

Love this song , love this band.

What a shame it's so lo-def. We can't tell which of the naked "vikings" is Greedy.

One of Greedy's favourite MAA songs

My favourite Mentals song. Such a fun & unique band. Vale Greedy....

RIP Greedy.

Goodbye Greedy. 3/12/19 ------------

Goodbye Greedy. You had a couple of good songs. This one stands out in my faded memory

Vale Greedy

RIP Greedy Smith ...loved this song.

RIP GREEDY

Rest in Peace Greedy Smith ❤

RIP Greedy

My favorite Mentals song
Farewell Greedy you champ

RIP Greedy Smith. Thanks for the music.

RIP Andrew "Greedy" Smith... (From a little kid who loved you guys on Countdown)

No animals were harmed in the making of this Video!

i saw the M many times and at one gig theses guys were wearing viking hat stuff they were true besserk warriors funny guys !

No matter how many times I hear this, it just keeps getting better and better.

Animal Kingdom brought me here.

What sort of flog would thumbs-down this vid?

The sort of flog who listens to Justin Bieber.

They were clearly taking the piss making this, yet it still beats 95% of the crap that passes for music videos nowadays

That's it, I'm putting a Viking shield on my longboat, okay Ford ute..

Lyrics
Bjorn is just a viking
He is very a handy with a sword
He loves nothing better
Than to cut and slash right through a horde
Mutilation, jubilation
Friendly muscles, in a tussle

Anna's a girl viking
She is very handy with a spear
She won't wear silk stockings
Armour-plated garments are her sphere
In the fjords, you can hear them
Eerie horns blow, viking love show
Bjorn and Anna earn their leisure
They have each other for their pleasure

Bjorn is on his long ship
He and Anna fought it out today
He says it is their Waterloo
Vikings shouldn't mix their work and play
All that blonde hair for them to share
So much plunder, Cut asunder
Now when Bjorn and Anna see each other
It's on the battlefield, not as lovers

Those vikings love to fight and play
Fighting berserk warriors hey hey!
Those vikings love to fight and play
Fighting berserk warriors hey hey!
Those vikings love to fight and play
Fighting berserk warriors hey hey!

My fave

Bought their 30th @nniversary album... magic! Thanks for posting... Z L1BT/M0ZLI

he is very handy with the sword

the greatest human gene pool to ever impact on planet earth, the nordic race

Via Australia!

The women are babes. The blokes are twinks.

hahaha gronk

Great song, great memories. Thanks for posting. By the way, who was the lady playing Anna, she looked hot.

guts life in a nutshell before the golden age arc!

The fuck...

how did i get here

Do you mean existentially or webbly?

Who was Anna?

song is about the breakup of Abba

Lip readers, what does "Anna" say at the 2 minute mark? I can discern, "Fuck you! *something something* Piss off!" Any thoughts? :)

+Scott Boydle That's definitely a 'fuck you'...not sure what the rest is though!

what comes to mind, are they singing about ABBA.

Sure are

I like the funny part at 1:28 where he appears to be ogling her, but is dropping a nugget.  Typical of the Mentals sense of humour .Love it.

*Mental As Anything*  **Aussie A1 Band**

went and saw them at Heywood last night, this was the second they played. great stuff.

What movie are those extra scenes from?

MerJa Media Hollywood movie called the Vikings with Tony curtis, Ernest Borgnine

Always thought Reg Mombasa had a genuinely original, world class guitar style.

he is a true artist.... I bought a skull mambo watch not realising he designed it..... it was the first "luxury" item i bought in my first job out of schooll.... wish it still had it!!1

Greedy Smiths dick is massive...Lucky for the SAS style black outs. My missus told me. OK

Written for ABBA fans...TRUE

Reg doing a big Viking shit at 1.28, had this one on VHS for years

That looks like Craig Reucassel at 0:12

Dafuq did I just see at 1:27?

yes we did

That was a lot of money in those days...

Good comment! You need some sort of campaign early to tune kids to old stuff - before they realise it might be uncool to like what the olds like. Or just tell them 80s are cool now.

yeah,,,they don't make em like this anymore do they? Good songs supporting crap vids,, now it's multi million dollar vids propping crap songs,,,, I pity my children,,,,,

I enjoyed that. The $1.98 budget was well spent.

Went to several of their concerts in Sydney in the early '80's...talk about a good time lol!!

His brother was killed by a berserk viking warrior, he's still bitter.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! Thanks for posting this vid. Just one question - who is the (one) person who gave it a thumbs down and what is wrong with them?

One of the finest Aussie bands of all time.

The finest moment of their career in my opinion. Love this track. I'm 14 again.

I'm 4 years old hearing this song..... and it's so comforting.... and awesome... AUSSIE/NEW ZEALAND MUSIC ROCKS!!!!!

Nice little bass riff at 2.01.

one question.... How good is this song???? Love it

Bondi, ABBA and Reg pooping!

They were poking fun at ABBA in this one if my memory serves me right...

One of my all time favorite songs, never seen this video before. Thanks for posting!

they always look like they are having so much fun with the vids. thanks for the upload.

well done mate ...thanx.

This is my absolute favorite Mental As Anything song. Thanks for posting it.
