Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooperand W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with less lyrics about sex, than glam rock. The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock".

I Wanna Rock Lyrics

Twisted Sister

I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)

Turn it down you say
But all I got to say to you is time and time again I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
Tell me not to play
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say, "no!"
No! No, no, no, no, no!
So, if you ask me why I like the way I play it
There's only one thing I can say to you

I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)

There's a feelin' that
I get from nothin' else and there ain't nothin' in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
Turn the power up
I've waited for so long so I could hear my favorite song so, let's go!
Go! Go, go, go, go, go!
When it's like this I feel the music shootin' through me
There's nothin' else that I would rather do

I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)

I wanna rock! (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
Rock (rock)
Rock (rock)
I wanna rock!

Solo - Eddie

I wanna rock! (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
I want to rock (rock)
I wanna rock! (rock)
