An Ancient Roman Secret

[InformationGeek]

You may not know, but gladiators also took part in karaoke contests as another part of the gladiator games.

Seeing as how there weren't many lions in "Gladiator", Maximus decides to karaoke the song "Wondering Where The Lions Are".

[joejoeherron]

"The lion sleeps tonight"

"My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next. And I'm challenging you to a karaoke contest."

My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard,
And they're like
It's better than yours,
Damn right it's better than yours,
I can teach you,
But I have to charge!

Everybody was gladiator fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

They were funky Roman men from funky Rome
They were chopping them up and they were chopping them down
It's an ancient Italian art and everybody knew their part
From a feint into a slip, and kicking from the hip

Everybody was gladiator fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they fought with expert timing

There was funky Maximus and little Commodus
He said here comes the big boss, lets get it on
We took a bow and made a stand, started swinging with the hand
The sudden motion made me skip now we're into a brand knew trip

Everybody was gladiator fighting
Those cats were fast as lightning
In fact it was a little bit frightning
But they did it with expert timing

(repeat)..make sure you have expert timing
gladiator fighting, had to be fast as lightning...
