A description used for songs in which the vocalist attempts to create a forceful climax in the progression of the song by shouting "Fire!" In many instances, the shouting of this word heralds some sort of bombastic melody or change in the song's tempo.
Perhaps the most famous instance of this occurrence is found in the AC/DC track, "For Those About To Rock (We Salute You)," in which vocalist Brian Johnson shouts "Fire!" to precipitate the sound of a cannon being fired.
