LYRICS
Grandma, welcome home
You have been gone far, far too long
Is this a dream, are you really back?
Let me help you out of the chair
Grandma
Let me touch you, let me feel
Grandma, take a look
What do you think of the house and the silvery moon?
We are going to repaint the front door soon
Let me help you out of the chair
Grandma
Let me touch you, let me feel
Wait till you see your room up in the attic
Prepared just like you said, without a bed
You will find your rocking chair and the tea pot that Missy found
Let me help you out of the chair
Grandma
There is someone waiting for you, now come along
Missy Mother, they are dying to meet you
How strange, she's spoken no word
I wonder grandma, are you all right?
Grandma' what was it like to be on that holiday site
Oh, it could have been worse but with them by my side
In the twilight they sang all the old lullabies
Grandma, who are they?
Never mind you dirty little brat
Let us go inside
Something's on their mind
They are still alive
Can you feel their eyes?
Can you feel their eyes?
Now that you are stuck with me
You better be my friend

When we used to visit my Grandma (RIP 😥), my younger brother and I would have a competition to see who could get the most lines from this song into casual conversation with her 🤣
This is oddly wholesome
🤣🤣🤣 that's hilarious
R.I.P.
Somehow saying to your Grandma "Let me touch you, let me feel you" is a bit weird ngl
@@Muffinman6687 more than a bit lol
This song is constantly playing in my head at the nursing home I work at
XD lol
+Greg Moberg LOL
Let me help yoouuuu... Out of the chaaaiiirrr
+Greg Moberg Let me help you, out of the shower!!! ugghhh so many wrinkles!!!
+Joe Manzella
g g g grandma
The best song to ever have the word “Grandma” in the chorus.
Sliver by Nirvana?
@@phillipstouder1290 no definitely welcome home
Agreed.
✨🎄🤘😁Totally, far better than Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer!
✨💀👵🦌✨
Ps-📨
I used to have a postcard with the Them album on it. Wish I saved it.
of all the grandma themed songs this is by far my favorite
thanks clerks for letting me discover this band.
My Grandmother loves this song. She's been dead for 30 years and still listens to it at least 3 times a day. She's a big fan of King, still.
Lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can you ask your grandma what was it like?
super underrated comment
@@Arcturian1111 did you lol at your own comment?
King Diamonds voice to me is like coffee: the first few times I tried it, I absolutely hated it but now I can’t live without it!
R-R-R-Rockso
YES!!!!!
@@jraddd3477 im dr rockso, the rock and roll clowyown, and I doo cocaaaiiinneee
@@trippyfishie2295 haha yessss!
Like IPA's...Acquired taste!
Thanks Clerks II for introducing me to this song
Grandma what was it like... to call me a p*rch m**key because I used to sit on my porch and stare at my neighbors
Yeah, same.
Only King can scream "GRANDMAAAAAAAAAA!!!!" at the top of his lungs and sound badass.
Scott Baldwin hahaha. and only he can have a wicked grandma
Fact!
Scott Baldwin no, no he can't
Grandmaaaaawwwwwwwwwww
You should listen to no presents for christmas. It's easily the weirdest King Diamond song I've ever heard.
I love how the rest of the band looks like normal heavy metal musicians and then you have King Diamond doing his thing.
🇩🇰🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🇱🇷☻ hilsen fra Danmark 🇩🇰👹🤘🇱🇷👿
Perhaps if they all dressed up, it’d just make everyone look like Kiss. X3
@@YoungLeosword Im fairley certain he got sued by Gene Simons BECAUSE his make up apprently looked to close to his so thats why he changed it to the inverted crosses which i kind of like more
@@SgtKaneGunlock
Is that also the reason for the hat in his modern appearance? :3
@@SgtKaneGunlocknope never happened.
Wanting to help Grandma out of the chair is enough proof for me that King is the consummate gentleman. Thank the dark lord that southern hospitality is still alive and kickin.
lmao 😂
+MrDarrinzocchi At 0:43 he does go bit overboard with the, uh, "hospitality" with ol' Granny... don't ya think?
Southern Northern European :D
except that he touched her inappropriately and some other things happened. lol
That's why King chose Dallas Texas.
My wife and I are going to be 1st time grandparents soon. I'm going to sing this song to her when she gets home from work....every......day.....forever.
Congratulations! LET ME HELP YOU OUT OF THE CHAIR GRANDMA!!
No you won't.
Divorce imminent.
@@elitetrader5468 you're a rude mean asshole. Why not use your time being a nice considerate person instead of being a miserable useless piece of human excrement.
@@RockSmithStudio LET ME TOUCH YOU, LET ME FEEL...... OOOOOOOHHHHHHH!
Andys solo is so insane. Out of this world guitar player.
So freaking underrated, it's insane! Dude is a shred master.
@@JudasSlays2426 im completely agree. His solos on individual thought patterns by death as well. Have never heard a bad solo from that man
@@HunteR-uc7nv you'd be surprised how many ppl who claim to love metal, and don't even know who he is! It's crazy dude.
@@JudasSlays2426 I agree. Like he almost seemed like a normal hair metal guitarist but then when you actually listen to what he’s doing it’s fuckin incredible. Easily some of the most unique solos in metal. I would easily put him up there with Marty Friedman
So underrated
easily the most brutal song about a senior citizen in a chair ever
I believe it's the only one that exists, haha, well I guess Neil Young "Old Man" is a senior citizen song that counts. But I'm sure this song proved to other musicians that you can't even compete with a grandma from HELL!!!
Johnny Arson I laughed so hard
Johnny Arson i know right sooooooo cool
I did too aha ha ha ha!!! 😂😂😂
sir you win at life!
One of the most iconic drum fills at the start of a song ever 🔥
Mickey Dee.
Yes, and a bit similar to the drum fill on Diary of a Madman
Right?!
I realize that many people are turned off by King Diamond's high falsetto/counter-tenor voice. The unique aspect, to me, about King Diamond is the lyrics and overall direction and story telling of their/his albums. Few bands make "concept" albums. Their albums actually tell a story, and that intrigues me. I hear so much inflection and emotion in his voice. A willingness to raise issues like child abuse in his albums, and the flirting with the occult, it speaks of a deeper message behind the music. And the band.... Andy and Mikkey (KD after Mikkey is also great)..... incredible......Their albums are some of my favorite to listen to in one sitting. Real works of art.
King Diamond is a truly unique artist. The composition and musicianship especially on Abigail and Them! are criminally under-appreciated. Not just the story lines, but the way the music progresses from the start of the album to the end is genuinely masterful. But it's not everyone's cup of tea (right, grandma?)
Bottom Io
King is one of the best singers in Metal, hands down
King Bugs I am bothered by his voice, yet appreciate the band. With everything you said, and how musically talented the whole band. I don't mind anything but the extremely high falsetto voice. When I was 16, I heard it live at a festival to see Slayer, I got a headache the whole time during Black Diamond's set. (In my profile picture, I'm 17, but currently 20.
+Cruz Majeno listen to him enough times and you will get used to the vocals. It takes immense skill to sing the way he does
King Diamond is dropping bars about painting the front door soon
And finding the rocking chair and the teapot
Metal af!
King Diamond: most caring and loving grandson there ever was
Not too many people can say their Grandma was in a King Diamond Video
considering the age of the video neither can her.
@@PhantomHostLive She may be gone physically, but she's immortalized on video now, immortal grandma!
@@PhantomHostLive neither can her? Nice grammar.
@@Phantasm2Cuda hahaha
Right!
Probably the best line up King ever had.
Yup, Abigial, Them and Conspiracy ... best albums
HangDeath
King Diamond album's from best to worst (Not counting by the story on the album's)
1. "Them"
2. Abigail
3. Conspiracy
4. Fatal Potrait
5. The Eye
6. The Spiders Lullabye
7. The Puppet Master
8. Voodoo
9. The Graveyard
10. Give me Your Soul
11. House of God
12. Abigal II
James Blobb You must've been high when you wrote that list Abigail 2 is a fricken good album, The Graveyard , The Puppet Master and Voodoo are way better than The Spider's Lullabye
DruinFeyfolk Litsening to the albums there are some chanches that i would make (For Example: I have leard to like "The Graveyard much more. Perhaps more than "The Spiders Lullabye" and definately more than "Voodoo") But by me, Abigail II remains at the bottom. Sorry.
All good, .. Personally my list would be 1. Abigail 2. Fatal Portrait 3. Them 4. The Eye 5. Puppet Master ( I love King's and Livia's vocal combos) 6. Abigail 2 ( The first 4 songs and Spirits are definitely my favorite songs on this one) 7. The Graveyard ( though this could change to a higher rank 8. Conspiracy 9. Voodoo 10. Give me your Soul 11. Spider's Lullaby 12. House of God... ,
REAL Metal Music. I Miss these 80's Days.
You know I don't like talking about dark forces, Randall!
+Jessica Octostar catched the reference with sucess bro
That film actually got me into King Diamond when I wanted to find out what song Randall was singing lol
So in a way Clerks 2 is like a gift from god
No sir. Clerks II is not a gift from God. It is an unholy curse from the beast we call the Desolate One.
+8bitkr0nik despoiler of virgins! master of abortions!
First metal band I've ever heard. My dad drove me back home from the hospital and had this playing. Had I had not listened to King diamond I would have never touched a guitar or even listened to metal.
I saw him play this live at a small club in California in the 80s. I was already in love with metal but this sealed the deal. Omg what a show.
A dozen of amazing riffs that could give a dozen songs, condensed into one. This is why this song is awesome.
Yeap!
Mickey Dee such a underrated drummer. Top ten best in the world.
Not even in TOP 100
Mikkey is a very good drummer
So underrated!
He's a great inspiration for Mastodon's drummer who uses the very same beat from the beginning in one of their songs.
He really is one of the best. His contributions to King and Motorhead can never be understated.
The last two minutes of this song could be the best in metal history.
Definitely one of the greatest metal albums
The guitar tone is amazing, and always chills me when the song begins. It's heavy and agressive, perfect for KD's grandmaaaaa screams
I've been a fan before this came out. King diamond still is my favorite vocalist. His voice, the way he uses it, the harmonizing, still blows me away. Can't wait for the new album.
Clearly one of the best drum intro of all time!
Within the first 15 seconds you have one of the top three best drum fill intros of all time, and one of the top 10 metal guitar riffs of all time.
Played this so loud on my walkman on the bus to school in the 90's, everyone got their mourning dose of King Diamond.
the drum intro is absolutely legendary
and the "GRANDMAAAAAAAAAA WELCOME HOME" always will give me shivers
a masterpiece. no doubt
That whole album gives me shivers, especially if listened to at night. Lol😅😅
One of the highlights of my concert-going lifetime was seeing King live at The Stone in San Francisco in the 1980s. This song was pure magic.
I'll be lucky enough to see them for the first time in October in San Antonio. Bought my tickets today
King Diamond has always had the very best musicians in his band.
For real. This line up shreds it. True pros.
His Majesty is to be praised. Bow down before the almighty King Diamond
his guitarist are actually brilliant
as a whole King had the best band of musicians during this period EVER!
Agreed, although Queensryche just entered the fray
The last 3 riffs are pure genius as the end to a song like this . Just vicious and mysterious af .
This song is so amazing that maybe I listened 2 million times, the guitar solos are insane but never ever in my life I heard a hell sound like 3:02, Andy LaRocque Pete Blakk, and all the band, what a talented people!!!
King Diamond is coming to Finland, such a shame I can't go, King Diamond is an Immortal Legend
King Diamond is like Frank Zappa. He is outstanding and the musicians around him are top shelf. Hail to the King!
Neil St oh fuck yeah I love Avenged Sevenphauld
This video illustrates that the spirit of King Diamond is in fact Amon.
One of the most underrated vocals ever. He easily fits the top 10 best vocalists of all time
DarkFoX750 true
DarkFoX750 oh goodness, no lol
Maybe even top 5
No!
His vocals are DEFINITELY something you grow accustomed to/develop a taste for. First time I listened to King, I was like THIS IS MEASLEY AS HELL!!! Then, committed to listening to the music and heavy riffage. Loved the music, and I learned to develop the taste over a few times of listening to him and THEN I fell in love
Just superb musicianship in the whole band, this blew my head off in 1987 when I bought the album on vinyl.
This is one of my very favorite KD songs, and that second lead break is incredible--Andy LaRocque is a brilliant player. This video is gloriously cheesy in the best way, too! Further, I give King tons of respect for not only carving out a long and storied career, but being able to maintain that inimitable falsetto wail over time. More power to him!
I liked Pete Blakk's ( 1st solo) best.....he nailed the feel of the song imo 🤘
@@andyhayes7828 Fair enough. I appreciate his playing more these days, in all honesty.
@@MaskedRiderChris Andy is a beast of a player and everyone knows it, but Pete is more obscure and I 'think' that people just lump his solo's in as being LaRocque's...... Pete has excellent dynamic feel and finds the 'notes' that work.
I recently found out that Blakk was offered the job as an original guitarist in King Diamond but turned it down. Imagine having Andy and Pete on all that stuff.....it would have been great !
I've met king diamond and he's legit the nicest guy I have ever met
Just getting into the KING.
What a eye opening introduction in the world of probably the most underrated artist of all time .
Shredding Guitar & Drums that kick you in the face.
Underrated and headlining big festivals is an interesting take
Man being a dude raised by his grandma whose health is now failing her… this shit speaks to me in a way that makes me incredibly sad and happy at once. The scene where his grandma becomes young again and he just hugs her… right in the heart dude. Hell yeah king diamond. Hell yeah.
She passed not too long after I posted this. I love you forever grandma. My best fucking friend man. RIP Wanda Sue
Lost my 95 year old Grandma today and had to come back to this song to remind myself of the time we were in the car together several years ago and I told her "hey grandma you know they wrote a song about you coming home from the hospital right?" She had no idea what I meant and then I played this and the loud "GRANDMAAAA!" scared her half to death hahaha. She wasn't too big a fan of the song but she always chuckled a bit when I would come over and the first thing i did was scream "GRANDMAAAA!" as high as I could to greet her
rip ur grandma
Wow, you suck so much.
wrong! it was about her being released from a mental ward in an asylum
@@krystalharwood6359 I'm aware of that. Hospitals care for mentally insane people too. It wasn't really a priority to sit down and explain the entire King Diamond discography lore to a 90 year old woman who was trying to watch the price is right
@@WEO57 I hope you're doing well and the memory of screaming Grandma is still a comfort to you.
this whole album gives off an eerie nostalgia from this track to phone call, even how Andy digs his guitar in the ground in his solo 👿🤟
Never could get into this vocal style, but King Diamond has earned his place!
Thats a shame man. It isnt for everyone tho. Kings voice is more akin to a theater singer which I also enjoy on the side so naturally it makes sense to me. My wife is an opera singer and she loves his voice
Jay and Silent Bob brought me here! I haven't heard this in awhile!
Oh that's nice...
He wrote a song, about his grandma.
Says my sister...
Such a nice person to help the elderly
I don’t think people understand how awesome the band is !!!!!
Dam the Bee Gees have got some skills in metal!
This may be the only song that promotes elder care and home redecorating projects in the same tune. Well played King.
This is why I love heavy metal, thrash metal and power metal!
Probably the finest heavy metal drummer out there! Brilliant song!
I feel sorry for people that can't appreciate the King!!! Absolute top tier music and performance for me.
2:29 literally the best thing ever
GRANDMAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
OddGonzo :) LOL
Read as it was first sung, loled
0:50
Hopefully to grandma
Voivod!🤘
My uncles used to play this song for my grandma when she was out in the yard gardening!! EPIC!!
He really loved his grandma
The uptempo break in the middle of the song with angry and crazy guitars-just love it
CLASSIC KING DIAMOND...Perhaps The First KING DIAMOND Track I've Ever Heard...If Memory Serves...
This remains a musical treasure. 'Grannnmaaa!'
I had to get older to appreciate this second day ( second day ever) of listening to king diamond and this track is holding me in
I'm in the same camp as you lol I started to appreciate certain bands ( same with games as well lol appreciate more genres etc ) when I got older. Was definitely creepy to me when I first saw em in Clerk's 2 lol was like 12 or 14 when I first heard them on RUclips, now I'm nearly 23 , I think I'm gonna start getting into King diamonds discography now to see if I'm missing any underated gems that I've been avoiding this entire time
The musicians in this band, this lineup in particular, was the best in the business!
Let me touch and feel my grandma. Ohhhhhhhh... I just remembered that I need to repaint my front door this weekend.
'Them' e 'Abigail' são os melhores de sua carreira solo. Diamond é um deus que deve ser respeitado. Parabéns pela voz e composições.
There really is nothing quite like the relationship between a young boy and his Grandma!
This song blows me away every time I hear it!
“How strange, she's spoken no word
I wonder Grandma!
Are You all right?!”
Released 31 years ago today! Classic.
This is an absolute masterpiece! I’ve never felt so much about grandma while also being about riffs and hair. This video does everything for me
Andy LaRocque's best solo.
💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🎸
They should play this at retirement homes! So polite and motivating!!!
After my grandma came home after heart surgery. I blasted this when she came in. She loved it.
I love how each album is a story and how in the end he's blamed for killing everybody.
I saw them on this tour. It was so spooky. The club felt evil. Loved it with the wheel chair on stage. The show was stellar.
One of if not the best album by the best metal artists of all time
2:49 was my favourite!!!! how he scared the boy with his awesome high pitch voice!!!!! im 14 by the way!!!!!
Omg i thought i was the only 14 year old here!
I've gotten slack all the time from my friends about his singing, but King has some of the best musicians in the band's, yeah, don't forget Mercyful Fate too. There is so many musical elements in every song, instead of focusing on King's voice...listen to the constant changes ( like having 5 songs in one )and the kick ass solos !
There's so much more than heavy metal in KD, the atmosphere noone ever achieved.
Been listening to this albums since student years.
Man the guitar players Andy Laraque and the other guitar player are savages!
Pure heavy metal from the 80s!!
What a beautiful video about a boy and his grandma. The boy loved the grandma so so much you can tell. We need more of that in todays society.
aaahhhh!!!! Just got my ticket!!! Seeing King Diamond Halloween night ... I`m so excited \m/
hell yeah !! \m/
Killer!!! Will also be there...should be a real Evil night. Ha ha....
fist1130 I`m so excited :')
My favorite metal band. All around 10/10
The King is the King
first time hearing this and I am overcome with joy 😭
I'm honest, it's the best King Diamond video!
I love when Pete black was in the line up…and that Hammer sceptor..one of the rarest guitars for metal to get your hands on
Denmark's greatest export, next to the vikings.
i guess the worst export is Lars Ulrich
followed by Artillery
09mrhardabs
Oh, without a doubt! Too bad this export got kinda rotten after 1999.
Followed by Hamlet. lol.
Followed by Volbeat...
Thumbs up for that drum intro, Alone.
Home *ALOOOOONE*
If Jay and Randal brought you here, then you my friend are one of the good ones.
Amazing album !!!!!!!!
*NOW THAT YOU ARE STUCK WITH ME, YOU BETTER BE MY FRIEND!*
I just want to randomly run into this man one day and thank him for his awesome contribution in Metal. He's lived in North Tx in the DFW area for yrs. Kind of funny, if the neighbors only knew that a legend lived next to them. They likely do by now, he's smack in the Suburbs full of soccer mom's and rich snobs. Then there's King Diamond amongst them. I never go to the suburbs though. Heard he does venture out in his neighborhood though. I likely wouldn't even bother him. When I happened to run into Dimebag, I couldn't bring myself to say anything to him. If it wasn't for my friend who approached him, I'd never of gotten his autograph. He was super cool about it, even busted out a sharpie. So he was very approachable and on the ready to sign autographs at all times. Even he was once a kid who idolized his musical hero's. He was drunk as hell, but very cool. Took the time to bullshit with us teenagers at the time. Now I just need to meet the King, one day, who knows.
Top band!!!
