| Alot of people take twisted sister as a hair band of the 80's who never really stood for anything. They could not be anymore wrong. Think about what it was like to be a kid in the 80's when this song and all other hair bands were around. The politicians were trying to brainwash everyone, and they tried too hard to censor music, therefore twisted sister was about rebellion. For instance, this song, they said, "turn it down...turn it off." They said, "no." See, it was all about resistance. | |

| I don't know if anyone here has seen it, but there's been that documentary on rock music on vh1 about 10 times in the past year, and twisted sister was one of the bands targetted by parents of the 80's as being "satanic" or otherwise just a bad influence etc...so I dunno, I do see this song as an up yours to those little groups | |
