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".

Tonight Lyrics

Twisted Sister

Are you ready for the hard time?
Are you ready for the ball to top them all?
Are you ready for the long ride?
Are you ready for the rise before the fall?
Are you ready for the big game?
Are you ready for the 'coup de tat, et al'?
Are you ready for the long train?
Are you ready for the final curtain call?
Well, we're gonna kill 'em, gonna stomp 'em tonight
Yeah, we're gonna thrill 'em, gonna do 'em up right
Oh, we're gonna take 'em, gonna give 'em a fright
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight (tonight) we're gonna lose control
Tonight (tonight) we're gonna have you all
Tonight (tonight) you're gonna beg for more
Tonight, tonight (tonight)
Did you come to see the bad boys?
Did you come to watch us shake, rattle and roll?
Did you come to hear us make noise?
Did you come to see us put it in the hole?
Do you know that it's the right time?
Do you know that it's the time to lose your mind?
Do you know that it's not a crime
If you're bending all the rules that you can find?
Well, we're gonna break 'em, gonna make 'em tonight
Yeah, we're gonna push 'em, gonna go for the light
Oh, we're gonna stroke 'em, gonna do it all night
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight (tonight), we're gonna lose control
Tonight (tonight), we're gonna have you all
Tonight (tonight), you're gonna beg for more
Tonight, tonight (tonight, tonight)
Well, we're gonna kill 'em, gonna stomp 'em tonight
Yeah, we're gonna thrill 'em, gonna do 'em up right
Oh, we're gonna take 'em, gonna give 'em a fright
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight (tonight), we're gonna lose control
Tonight (tonight), we're gonna have you all
Tonight (tonight), you're gonna beg for more
Tonight, tonight (tonight)
Did you come to see the bad boys
