MAKE SURE YALL SUBSCRIBE TO MY WIFE CHANNEL AND LET HER KNOW THAT I SENT U kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p6tmYNGZt9q5aYE.html

The lead singer was called before congress about free speech. It's on KZfaq.

Twisted Sister has allowed Ukraine to use this song for their soldiers morale.

Back when MTV played music videos, artists would do elaborate videos like this because a good video got more airtime so people heard the song more. The actor in this video (the Dad) played a similar character in the movie Animal House.

This song was screaming out of every radio when it was released!!! Every parents nightmare!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎸🎧🎹🎙🤘🤘🤘

The actor playing the hard-nosed father played a similar role in 'Animal House' as military cadet commander Neidermeier. At the end of the movie, his character outline was 'Killed In Viet Nam by his own troops. And to add another link, the movie 'House' includes a group of GI's who've gotten hopelessly lost in the jungles of Viet Nam. As they trudge past, one of them says "I told ya we shouldn't have fragged Lieutenant Neidermeier."

I love, love, love this song!! Dee and the crew did a phenomenal job!! ❤️🎶

If you ever see the movie ANIMAL HOUSE the father played the ROTC leader who was extremely gung ho. Dee Snyder, the lead singer is a huge fan of the movie and got him to play the same character 20 years after the movie for this song and their other hit I WANNA ROCK music videos.

Hey A, hahaha, this should be fun...These guys were awesome, their fight for musicians anaginst the Parents Music Resource Center and vice pres wife Tipper Gore was epic. So many parents wanted Rock music banned cause they said it was devils music, made u lazy, etc. 80s Glam rock days. Thanx for the memories, Peace

I got to see Twisted Sister in concert in the '80's. They were loads of fun, and they are really incredible musicians.

Another priceless reaction from you....your like a kid on Christmas morning.....right on!!!!!!

At 58 yrs. I still rock out to this one! Rock on!!

I suppose this was their most popular song, but I was always partial to "I wanna Rock!" Of course the most complete realization of any Twisted Sister song and, just possibly, the best cover of any song, ever, would be of course "I'm a Goofy Goober". If you've heard that, you know.

There is a video of Dee Snyder singing the song in a gentle way with a boy dealing with cancer. It is beautiful.

You can’t go wrong with Twisted Sister!

Check out the "sequel", "I Wanna Rock" this was 1983. Theyd been together for ten years but this was their breakthrough hit.

The father in this video is the actor that played Neidermeyer in the movie Animal House. His role here is a direct take on the Neidermeyer character

Omg!!! This came out when I was in high school. & maaaaan it was outrageous outta control! 😳 🤣🤣🤣 most of our parents were low key like that. Yes, 80's. Best music EVER! 😉🙃🥰

This dude is an amazing guy 😮 this band was huge. I saw someone recommended Dee Snyder singing the slowed down version of this song I really hope you react to it ❤

Dee Snyder the lead singer did another version of this for childhood cancer. It is absolutely beautiful. It's just Dee Snyder and a piano

I’m showing my age but this song came out when I was in 6th grade. My English teacher made everyone lip sync a song in front of the class. This is the song I did. 😂

There’s actually a movie about the congressional committee hearings that led to the Parental Advisory labels, that the singer Dee Snider gave great testimony, it’s called Warning:Parental Advisory released in 2002 on VH1

This song and video. Never gets old!!!

Listen to anything by them. Kickass rock and roll supreme !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🤪

They need to play this more often today!

Dee Snyder did a slowed down version worth checking out. These guys are the reason warnings were added added to music because to spite never cussing in music they were censored so Dee went to the Senate floor to fight for every musicians right to express themselves through their art. Now censorship steps in, before that music was pulled from shelves and radio.

There is an entire generation grew up on metal/ heavy metal /hard rock,,,,, and this is a song we all know every word🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Check out Horror-Teria (The Beginning) A)Captain Howdy B) Street Justice Stay Hungry The Price S.M.F.

Yeh that band is from the 80s. That lead singers name Is Dee Snyder and contrary to most bands of that era he did no drugs and is happily married family man.👍

This was a great video, the song came out in 1984, I was either 12 or 13, great times.

To truly understand the character of “Dad” Douglas C. You must watch Animal House. The same actor played Douglas C Niedermeyer. The ROTC guy that tormented Flounder.

huge back story from the 80s involved many bands but Prince -Darling Nikki got Tipper Gore's panties in a bunch, it led to congressional hearings, the PMRC & the "FILTHY 15" ..(mentioned in Cinderella - "Shelter Me"

The video for their song I Wanna Rock has the same dad in it. He is a mean school teacher by day. So funny. Great reaction!!

The father is Douglas Neidermeyer from the movie Animal House. Great movie from 1978. You should check it out. It's about a drunken party frat house, starring John Belushi.

I think this song was the anthem of its time..

Twisted Sister so much fun

You're a Kupp fan from the Northwest(Central Washington) so you should know this song was based off Neidemier from the movie Animal House filmed on the University of Oregon in the 70's. His famous line is "Is that a pledge pin on your uniform?"!!! Before Jim Belushi blew up the town!!!!

Miss music videos so much! Back when MTV played music videos 24 hours a day

The lead singer Dee Snider later became a radio DJ and it was his radio show that told me that the first plane hit the twin towers when I was living in New York just outside of New York City on Long Island. I put on my morning show Dee Snider every morning and it was the most surreal moment of my life.

I grew up on this,and the lead singer Dee Snider actually testified before a congressional hearing that ultimately led to the parental advisory labels on albums but he gave an intelligent testimony that shocked them

You definitely can’t appreciate this song or video to its potential without seeing the movie “Animal House“

the "I Wanna Rock" video is also a must watch 🤘

Back in my day I blew my speakers out with this! 😂

LOVE THIS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

This was the 80's and they were silly.

Adogg this is one of the best music videos of all time (Douglas c me is a teacher put his kids through school forgetting many details here) one of best music vids. Exceptional teen angst. This song still relevant. Nice job.

This song came out in 1984!!

TS is definitely one of the iconic bands of the 80s. Love them or hate them, everybody knew them.

The Main Event in Jersey This is tied into the movie Animal House. A great comedy. That’s Douglas Niedemier

They were trying to sensor and rate music. Dee Snyder went before Congress and made them look like fools. Completely out classed them! It’s incredible

I loved watching Dee Snider tear up that ass when he was brought before congress to speak on behalf of free speech. It's on KZfaq somewhere.

Such a great teenager rebellion song back in the day!

it rides true with many things.

We're not gonna take it came out in 1984

Since you're going down the rabbit hole check out their song and video to you can't stop rock and roll or I want to rock they had a bunch of good songs when they were out

If you like this song, and want to hear a lot more from this style, watch the movie Rock Of Ages. So much great music , great homage to a great era of music. I think you will love it.

J.J. French (in the sunglasses) is rocking the guitar.

That actoor played a character on Animal House in the 80s. This is the same character, complete with spitting while he talks.

The 80s music 😂❤

this was my high school graduation class song...class of 1985...

As for the Carpenters, listen to Yesterday once More, Close to You, We've only just Begun. Also try Michael Jackson's One day in your Life, it reminds you of their songs

The allusions like “pin on your uniform” will make sense if you watch “Animal House,” one of the funniest comedies ever made.

This song was for the teens in the 80's i was a member

I love this song

Love your content!!! 🎉

To get a better grasp on what the Father is about you have to check out " National Lampoon's Animal House". That's where this character came from.

Dee Schnider 🤣👍geez it's been awhile hahaha

Check out I wanna rock also by twisted sister it is funny too. Same mean guy too. I believe what he is saying in both music videos is from a movie called animal house. The same mean guy is in Animal House as well. I love this song.

You have to see the movie Animal House to understand the father’s character.

Watch Dee Snyder, the lead singer, address a congressional hearing about musical content and put them in their place.

one of my favorite videos! have everything!

This was from the 80s, and from their album Stay Hungry. That was a great album.

These guys were my favorite band back 40 years ago when this song was released as a single. Saw them with Iron Maiden and W. A S. P. back then and again from the "40 & F@ck It " tour.

1984 was a great year

Badass band that should have been way bigger. The video starts with the guy from animal house that played Neidemire .

The lead singer Dee Snyder testified in front of congress regarding censorship of music lyrics. He turned out to be the smartest person in the room..

Fun fact: In Yiddish, Twisted Sister are known as 'Geflochtene Schwester'.

I used sing this to my mother , with a wall or Three between us😂😂😂

Can't listen to I Wanna Rock anymore without thinking about Cobra Kai and Miguel's tapping foot.

They put that man through hell, I'm dying of laughter

This song is about how all the outcasts and misfits have been treated by uptight parents and the mainstream society and us fighting back which is why conservative politicians had a problem with this music because it went against everything they stood for because the 80’s was the time of the Moral Majority of Conservative Christians that had a problem with Heavy Metal and Hip Hop/Rap because the music was speaking the dark truth

YES! I was in 7th grade when I first heard this song, and I was like YOU CAN SAY THAT?! Loved metal ever since.

The "father" is an actor that appeared in the movie "Animal House".... and one of his lines in the movie was about a pledge pin on another guys uniform. Check out the movie some time.

Dee snider directed a movie called strangeland and in once there was a mob of people and someone had a protest sign that said we're not going to take it lol

If you watch the movie pee wees big adventure they have a little cameo like they're filming a video. These guys are fun. Dee is awesome. His wife had the first trike (however its spelled) motorcycle that I've ever seen. Fell in love with that immediately. They have a beautiful family. He also makes a cameo in cobra kai season 3

Welcome to the 1980's my friend, and really wild time in musical history.

Dee has a son who's 40, and as you can see, Dee is probably in his 30s when he did this song. He's now 67, you do the math!! LOL

If you liked this then listen to the prequel " I want to rock "

Oh, no, not Twisted Sister!! We dint know what to make of them in the 80s!

check out the video how twisted sister outclassed congress

It that a pledge pin on your uniform!!!!!!

Not from a movie. In the 80's we had longer attention spans. A lot of early videos told whole stories. Case in point - Michael Jacksons video for Thriller!

check out the band Kiss! if u like this you will love Kiss!

That is the lead singer Dee Synder's real hair! No extensions or wig.

Welcome to one of the most hardest working underrated bands of all time, the lead singer dee Snider is a lawyer and fought in congress for free speech.

Such a banger. I had this on cassette 😂

80’s

Right up my alley of great classic 80;s METAL> Want to see what TS is about watch the final concert in honor of A.J. they;re drummer . Live from Jersey . You Can;t stop Rock n Roll full albium my favorite . Under the Blade . Early 80;s it came out . stay Hungry Album

This song was on the Stay Hungry Album, I believe in 1984. Probably their biggest album. If you want a better feel for TWISTED SISTER" the first 2 albums, can't kill rock and roll and under the blade are a little more raw. The second single (video) from this album " I wanna Rock" (which is what the kid says to the father before the guitar chord blows him out the window) was also a funny video. Twisted Sister is often referred to as an 80's band, which is probably because this song being their first major label hit. But on Long Island and the rest of the NY tristate suburban area. Twisted was huge since the 70s, they were the biggest club band, had concerts played live on local radio. They actually had also built up a following overseas, their first album was from England. People who only know them from the 80s lump them in with the hair metal genre. But they actually predate hair metal, they were more like a mixture of garage/biker band/glam /theatrical rock. They were more like KISS, Alice Cooper and the NY Dolls. Infect the founder and guitarist JJ French had auditioned for the KISS predecessor Wicked Lester. As others have commented the "Father " in the video is based on a character in the movie Animal House and played by the same actor. Twisted Sister obviously has a few Movie influences in some of their songs. The clinking Glass Bottles and chant on the song "Come Out and Play" is based on a scene in the 70s gang film the warriors. on the "Stay Hungry Album " is another multi song piece called the "Horror-Teria (The Beginning)' it has 2 sub parts " Captain Howdy" and "Street Justice" which bears a lot of resemblance to the plot of How the Freddy Kruger Character in "Nightmare on Elm Street " came to be. As hard as Twisted Rocks, they also have some really cool ballads; "Your Not Alone" is a love song Dee Snider wrote about his wife, but what is cool is that the other ballads are more about personal feelings when striving for goals , in "the Price" or I believe in You". Obviously Twisted Sister is probably one of my favorite bands , I find that a lot of their songs are about believing in yourself when trying to reach goals. ("Were Gonna make it", The Price" I Believe in you, " I am I'm Me" Stay Hungry) Also their music is great workout music , especially weight training, the rhythm of were not gonna take it is perfect for doing Clean and presses.

This is an extension of the movie Animal House.. He played a character named Douglas C Needlemeyer lol... he was just like this in that movie.. In this video he is now older and married.. it's hilarious... Great reaction.
