Really what I think "Hammer meet Nail" means is that Horrible recognizes Hammer as his enemy, and that he's been beat up by him before. Thus, he is the Nail that Hammer beats. However he is now triumphing, so it's like "You beat me before, but look at me now!".
favorite song in the entire movie.. theres so much put into this song.. anger, power, frustration, sad-ness, and even love. you can really hear it in NPH's voice. :)
The term Hammer meet nail makes no sense,hammers,well...hammer nails in therefore its a metaphor of him knowing that he will probably lose this battle even though he is in his highest point of power
@shutupnavi99 I think that it’s more of that the hammer puts the nail in the place that it needs to be in to achieve what it needs to (holding up a picture, holding a porch together, murdering someone to join a club, for example)
@shutupnavi99 Actually, the lyric is "Hammer me Nail!" which is more of a taunt. He means "Hammer me" with the meaning of "Hit me," which Hammer really can't do frozen like that.
I think it isn't hammer meet nail, I think it is hammer ME nail. It makes sense considering Hammer is in a position with which he would be the "nail" in that exchange of blows. Hammer meet nail just doesn't make sense.
It's his way of saying "Take a look at who you've been messing with! I'm fighting back now," or something to that effect. He's been the "nail" the entire time, but now he's challenging the "hammer."
@SwordC2 i always noticed that line, because it kind of contradicts the position the Doctor thinks he's in at that moment: doesm't the hammer pound the nail?
I LOVE this song. It's graceful and melodic changes in key are lovely, and when it slips into a dramatic death march you can't help but get a little exited...
@bobbeta30 you know, now that I tried to hear it it does sound like lemons. It's freaky how we hear what we want to, isn't it? Sometimes I get lyrics wrong on purpose even when I find out otherwise because I want those to be the words or I think they're funny.
@SnowDemonAkuma Pretty much he means that there is no infrastructure, and he controls the masses through fear rather than actual political power. Much the same that a Mafia Don, or other Crime lord controls his domain.
It looks like Captain Hammer watched this... (1 dislike)

To be honest is a great taunt.

I think it's "Hammer meet Neil", and he's trying to scare the captain by saying he's NPH, that meaning he never fails.

@shutupnavi99 Even if it doesn't work, both Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer botch up metaphors throughout the whole show.
The phrase "Hammer, meet nail" sounds intimidating, even if the meaning falls on deaf ears. I'm guessing that's what Dr. Horrible was going for.

@baladonian that's the thing. He's turning the two positions upon each other, because he's been pounded so many times, so he's about to pound back.
