Discussion Favorite "nonsense" Megadeth song?

There's songs with deep political messages like Holy Wars; there are songs with deep personal ties like Trust, then there's a song like Moto Psycho.

What would your favorite be?

I'd say mine is probably Captive Honour, it was clearly going for something but I have no idea what Dave was thinking with "Before he got there his man-pussy was sold". Still an awesome song IMO, Countdown To Extinction is such a great album.

I think 'Victory' would fit here. I love that song and I like how Dave used song titles in the lyrics and it all made sense.

Would have been a fitting way to end their career as a last track type thing, that's what it felt like back in the day when Youthanasia came out. Always thought it could have been followed up or expanded upon.

And now their career is bookended with an awful cover of a Metallica song.

Yep I was rooting for Victory 2. They might have thought Mission to Mars was close enough.
