On January 6, 2011<\/strong>, Brent Smith<\/strong> of Shinedown<\/strong> spoke to The Pulse of Radio<\/strong> about their newly released video for their song “Diamond Eyes (Boom-Lay Boom Lay Boom)<\/strong><\/em> which was used on The Expendables<\/strong><\/em> trailer.\u00a0 When asked why the song has “Boom-Lay Boom-Lay Boom”<\/strong><\/em> as a subtitle, Smith<\/strong> explained:<\/p>\n

“When we wrote the song, Sylvester Stallone<\/strong> said, ‘You have to repeat in some kind of a chant form or an anthemic form, I need it if you can to have it go ‘boom-lay boom-lay boom.” ‘Cause it’s based off of a poem called ‘The Congo’<\/strong> that he based a lot of the premise of ‘The Expendables’<\/strong> off of,” he said. “In that poem, between each paragraph, it goes ‘boom-lay boom-lay boom’ and then it goes to the next section of the poem.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
