And was tipper gore who was trying to cancel music that said things she didn't like. Who would have thought 40 years later this is more a conservative topic 😊

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!!!🎵🎼🎶🥁🎸🎧🎹🎙🤘🤘🤘

School bus drivers were not that crazy about it either. Twisted Sister and Van Halen were school bus priorities.

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."

It's also his speech from the movie almost word for word. Also Dee Snider was a big fan of animal house, so something from that movie is in nearly every song TS made.

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

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

Remember...MUSIC is the Weapon!

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.

And even got snother actor from Animal House("Flounder") to cameo in I Wanna Rock.😉😁

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 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.

You can’t go wrong with Twisted Sister!

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

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

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

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

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

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 ❤

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. 😂

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

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

LOVE THIS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

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.

They need to play this more often today!

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! 😉🙃🥰

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!!!!

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

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.👍

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

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.

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

This song and video. Never gets old!!!

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

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

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!!

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

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 KZread somewhere.

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.

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..

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

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"

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

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

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

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..

@@darealadogg Twisted Sister was a Glam Rock Band popular from the early to mid 1980's. Twisted Sister was inspired by a Glam Rock Band of the 1970's called the Brooklyn Dolls who's lead singer David Johansen went on to popularity in the 1980's as a solo artist under the stage name of Buster Poindexter modeled after Desi Arnes a.k.a. "Ricky Ricardo" of the TV Show "I Love Lucy".

This was the 80's and they were silly.

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.

one of my favorite videos! have everything!

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

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

Such a great teenager rebellion song back in the day!

The 80s music 😂❤

Dee Schnider 🤣👍geez it's been awhile hahaha

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.

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

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

Such a banger. I had this on cassette 😂

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

it rides true with many things.

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

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.

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.

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

Hey there Rambro. Rams fan since ‘75 here. But anyway, Twisted Sister was incredible. This song, I Wanna Rock, Come Out And Play, their version of Leader Of The Pack. Anything off of Stay Hungry and Come Out And Play is awesome as is their older stuff. Would’ve loved to have seen them. They played 50 miles away in 1984 and I had $ for a ticket but couldn’t find a ride unfortunately

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

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

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

This was so much fun. Thanks for reacting and I glad you liked it. So now you know who Twisted Sister is...

I love this song

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

this video proves that Niedermyer was not fragged by his men in Vietnam, as theorized by Animal House.

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

Dee did a acoustic version of this song that is really good.

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!

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

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

1984 was a great year

check out the video how twisted sister outclassed congress
