I love TS, but this was the song/video that killed them. I still to this day don't understand the decision to do this cover. It was a great original, for sure, but if your motif is to be metal, this was not the cover to do.
Twisted Sister was always about being over the top. The whole image was hair band on steroids. This song actually fits well with what they were. Note the flying bodies just like in the "We're Not Gonna Take It" video...and the teen age rebellion against parents.
They were never meant to be serious metal. They were damn near a novelty act.
Twisted Sister is far from the only band to take a bubble gum song and dirty it up a bit-as a joke. Tongue in cheek Bri, tongue in cheek.
