Ten Masked Men is a British death metal cover band who specialize in covering pop songs. The band was formed in 1996 when Mark ("The Mauler") and Dave ("The Chef") Hutson did a cover of Oasis' "Wonderwall". The song was much the same as the original, except it was played with distorted guitars and death metal grunts. It was recorded on a 4-track in a bedroom and was soon followed by "Stayin' Alive", "Into the Groove" and "Beat It". These simple recordings were played to friends and in some clubs. There was still no band name at that time but the moniker Ten Masked Men was adopted after hearing a news broadcast about masked terrorists.
In 1999 the first CD, Ten Masked Men, was recorded and was given out free at a local club. A five-track EP was recorded later that year and Star Wars references came into play with the name The Ten Masked Men Strike Back, which was swiftly followed up with the second full-length CD Return of the Ten Masked Men in 2000.
It was three years until the next CD was recorded, entitled The PhanTen Masked Menace. A new full-length album came out in early 2008, entitled Attack Of The Ten Masked Men.
The band appeared on Channel 4 television in the UK on the late night show Born Sloppy, where special guest Jack Osbourne had to guess the name of the tune that Ten Masked Men had just played. Due to legal issues the band were only allowed to play 30 seconds of each song, which were "Livin' La Vida Loca", "...Baby One More Time" and "Push It". The band also played live on the XFM breakfast show.
Ten Masked Men have covered songs ranging from Frank Sinatra, to 1980s hits like Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer", and modern hits such as "Seven Days" by Craig David and "Something Kinda Ooooh" by Girls Aloud. Each album also features a song from the soundtrack to one of the James Bond movies.

Ten Masked Men Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
Backbeat the word was on the street
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how
Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now
And all the roads that lead to you were winding
And all the lights that light the way were blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall
Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
The song Wonderwall by Ten Masked Men is a cover of Oasis’s hit song, Wonderwall. The lyrics express a deep emotional connection between the singer and the subject of the song. It starts with a declaration that today is the day, that they are going to throw it back to the subject, meaning that they are going to return the emotions that they hold within. The singer hints that the subject should have realized what they need to do by now. Then, they confess that they share their emotions in a unique way and nobody feels the way they do about the subject. The first verse sets the mood and tone of the song.
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, where the singer asks if the subject could be the one to save them. The subject is their wonderwall, which means someone who gives them comfort and stability, a person they can rely on. The verse and chorus blend perfectly to express the depth of the singer's emotions for the subject, and how much they mean to them.
The second verse starts with a sad tone, indicating that the day when the subject could return the singer's feelings is over. The singer leaves a final message, asking the subject to realize what they should not do. Lastly, the chorus repeats again, highlighting the singer's hopes that the subject will be their wonderwall and save them.
Overall, this song represents a beautiful blend of lyrics and music that captures the audience's heart, especially those in love. It tells a story of hope, love, and the desire to find someone who can be a wonderwall and save them from the difficulties of life.
