A bit of a challenge, in ISO 8859-1 :-/
I find it amusing that Motörhead sorta kinda works ... Germans
please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "ö" make a sound
somewhat like schwa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa)? Not
exactly the same sound, and length and stress are all wrong, but
still...

It must be said that they would have sounded better if the singer
wouldn't throw his fellow band members to the ground and toss the
drum kit around during songs.
