Keep The Dogs Away - Thor

[@maxbrandt6]

So this is what He-Man did before he got that cartoon and action figure deal in the early 80s.

[@brucemcneill6224]

Ok, that was funny.

[@russphilbrook9719]

Yes!

Being called He-Man is a serious complement

[@dreamlandnightmare]

Wow, he actually has the physique of Thor. Rarely seen a music performer this jacked.

[@Gingerbread22]

He was a champion body builder in Canada and the USA before becoming a musician. He's the real deal and would bend bars during concerts.

Makes me proud to be Canadian! When I was a stationed in Yugoslavia my section painted " Gotta keep the dogs away " on the side of our M113 cos some guy bought a bootleg tape of this in a near by town we thought it was funny here we came all this way and here was this quirky Canadian band a little taste of home and much needed humour in a rather humour less place Thank you THOR!!!!

[@distortiontildeafness]

What were u doing in Yugoslavia 🧐

[@varanid9]

@@distortiontildeafness What's it to ya?

[@distortiontildeafness]

@varanid9 the country was sabotaged and betrayed I was wondering what you meant by "stationed" there.. are they American

[@varanid9]

@@distortiontildeafness I thought he was Canadian, but, he may be American. I know there were Americans as part of the NATO "Peace Keeping" forces, don't know about Canadians, though. How was Yugoslavia sabotaged, and by who? I thought the various people wanted to divide into their own countries when the Iron Curtain fell?

[@distortiontildeafness]

@varanid9 there was outside influence in the conflict. NATO presence itself affirms there. Americans and canadian were involved wanting to see Yugoslavia split. Canadians provided war materials and Americans were a lot direct. They stoked the flames of culture war between the nations so they could see another socialist country fall and also as an opportunity to sell artillery and ammunition like in a lot of regional conflicts. Let's not forget America is top dog in war industry

[@ItsScottJones]

This is terrific. Thanks for keeping the dogs at bay for all of us, Thor. You are a champion of Asgard.

[@peterkrug4124]

Thanks to Thor the dreaded dog invasion of Asgard was heroically prevented.

[@varanid9]

I can see why people laugh at the guy, but, still, I actually like this song. Frankly, he wasn't any more ridiculous than many other bands of that time.

[@NeonDruid13]

very catchy

[@gameboycat05]

He got more serious/metal once the 80s arrived, thank God. This song is a banger tho. The album ain't bad either.

[@poindextertunes]

bro this is like a real version Spinal Tap 😂 of course ppl are laughing at it 🤣

[@R.Lennartz]

Right, this was the heyday of KISS, and I'd say Thor isn't any more ridiculous than them

[@frankm496]

I never get tired of this video. Great record too. I love in the middle of this video when Thor is battling and throwing stuff. He manages to get in one last fireball before he sings again. Great stuff. Nice post

Did he fight the Marvel Comics Loki? LOL

From 1977 when this masterpiece was filmed to 2008 THOR Proves time and time again that he is the GREATEST PERFORMER in the WORLD!!! HAIL HIS MIGHT!!!!! HAIL THOR!!!! HAIL THOR!!!! HAIL THORRRR!!!!!!

[@jasonsantos3037]

Brandon tenoId used this song in his movie reviews.

[@lunichamp]

Yes THOR is truly amazing. I just saw THOR at the Commodore Ballroom with DOA. It was fantastic. He broke a hockey stick in two and then threw the pieces into the crowd. The next show is a special party everyone will be attending at the Media Club in Vancouver. I will be there with a group of us from SF and Seattle. THOR will be headlining the Valley Stream Theater in New York.

[@fredparker1734]

There is deep hidden meaning in these lyrics.I'm thinking buddy was a mailman before this gig.

[@johnm2558]

After this song he never had a problem with dogs shitting in his garden again.

[@MeAndTheBoys_]

The song is about unattractive women making passes on mighty Thor. They all wanted to touch Thor's mighty hammer.

[@Neptuneman07]

Keep watching this on repeat. My new guilty pleasure.

This is a very interesting piece of Canadiana. People laugh but really, how different is this from, say, KISS ? Especially in 1977. Metal, glam, and disco blended...

[@ravenflightmusic]

The greatest dance routine ever. Period. Thor will smite any nay-sayers if I speaketh not the truth.

[@StillinEden]

There needs to be another singer like Thor, the muscle body, the face, the hair, the costumes - no one is doing that right now. He's the only one that did it like that. It's eye-candy and music.

[@johnoneil3737]

This guy is still around

[@cronovonbankin]

Misfits, Danzig

[@johnoneil3737]

I think the Misfits and Danzig have a similar style, but do they have the style and stage cheesiness. Manowar might come close.

[@cronovonbankin]

Well she was asking about Muscle metal lol. But yea definitely Manowar, Thor has almost a decade on them. So he's definitely the originator. I've been a fan since the 80s as a kid. I am Thor was amazing. Not sure if you've seen it.

[@johnoneil3737]

I was talking similarity in look and sound, not influence. It's subjective, but all in all, I think Manowar is more similar to Thor in look and sound than are The Misfits and Danzig. The chronology is Thor 1973-1987 1997-now. Misfits forms 1977. Manowar forms 1980. Danzig forms 1987. Manowar is one of the first American bands with a strong NWOBHM influence--that same NWOBHM influence would also shape Thor's sound in The Unchained and Only The Strong albums. I would note that Thor's look evolved in the 80s in ways that make them more similar to Manowar's look, but there is no evidence of influence.

[@lunichamp]

THOR is very tall and gigantic man. His arms measure over 20". There were only 3 major bodybuilding champions in history that made it BIG in the entertainment world. 1. THOR-Mr. Universe, Mr. USA, Mr.Canada went on to become a ROCK STAR and MOVIE STAR 2. Arnold Schwarzenegger-Mr. Olympia a MOVIE STAR 3.Steeve Reeves-Mr.America,Mr.Universe a MOVIE STAR

First off, I can't believe I searched for this, but more importantly, I can't believe I actually found it. --- Anyone else remember those rumours back in the 90s that Thor had died onstage while doing his hot water bottle trick? A bunch of us believed it until we saw that he was still playing at some dive on the Danforth in Toronto.

[@rufus566]

Just by going with the year of formation, Thor does predate Manowar by 7 years. Thor formed his original band in 1973 with pretty much the same concept, Manowar formed in 1980. This album came out in 1977, which is 5 years before the 1982 date you quoted. I think Manowar came together pretty much independently of Thor, but they no doubt heard about him.

[@daveidmarx8296]

So you're saying that Thor sucked ass long before Manowar sucked ass. Duly noted.

I know this was pre-affordable handy cam but a mirror would have worked wonders to improve upon this nightmarish spectacle.

Total Classic.
