And it works for guys who have or like to pretend they have builds they can show 
off.

I can only think of folk songs--"Born beneath a shooting star" and "Sad 
experience teaches me" and such.  There must be other music, though.

"The Tale of the Student and His Son" mentions dancing to celebrate the victory 
over the Minotaur/Monitor, but says nothing about the music.

I vaguely remember reading that he does in fact listen to "headbanging heavy 
metal", but I can't find it on the Web.

Certainly the title /There are Doors/ is from the cover of the Doors' first 
album, not that that's exactly heavy metal.
