My favorite performance ever by Dee Snider the lead singer was when he testified in Congress against censorship of music. And absolutely tore them apart.
This song is a complete ANTHEM! It's a fun song that gets everyone in a better mood. Doesn't matter what you aren't gonna take anymore, it fits everything. The dad was in a few of their videos and his narrative in this one is based from the movie National Lampoon's Animal House that he was in. You REALLY NEED to watch the movie. It is a cult classic 🤘🏻🇬🇧🖤
I second that! Biss, you HAVE to react to Animal House. It's from 1978 and is a classic! The actor in this video plays a similar character in the movie.
This Song Is TOTALLY ANTHEM and Dee SNIDER IS A POWERFUL REPRESENTATIVE in POLITICALLY Defending Metal Music from a Lot of Negative Scrutiny or (Mistreatment)
In Chile we sing "huevos con aceite y limón " (eggs with oíl and lemon) in the chorus part and this phrase is so famous in my country that it was Sang by the vocalist in one of twisted sisters presentation in Chile.
This is their signature song, along with "I Wanna Rock". Released in 1984. They had a hard-core following even before they had a record deal. The father is played by an actor who is famous for being in the movie Animal House.
This was in the heyday of MTV when bands were getting really creative and making little movies with story lines. And this has one of the best drum intros ever.
A few years ago, Dee Snyder did an acoustic remake of this song solo. He toned it way down and used it to bring awareness to childhood cancer. It was moving to say the least.
Thanks for your reaction. You're right--big fluffy hair like that definitely comes from the 80's--many memories for me when I was still in high school. TS also did stay hungry around the same time, that was also very popular in the mid-80's. Have a nice day, Bisscute.
Twisted Sister broke big on MTV in 1984 w/ this music video from their 3rd album 'Stay hungry'... Dee Snider (lead vocals) said the music video was based on his own father, who was tough on him as a kid... Actor Mark Metcalf (from the 1978 comedy movie 'Animal House') was cast as the 'dad' who gets tossed around like Wile E. Coyote from the 'Roadrunner' cartoons... Metcalf also played a teacher in the 2nd Twisted Sister video for 'I wanna rock'... Unfortunately, the band didn't last past 1987 and broke up... Twisted Sister did reform in 2001 and toured every year until the death of their drummer A.J. Pero in 2015... They did a farewell tour before ending the band for good in 2016. The band was formed in New York in the 70's and were part of the glam rock scene... but no one would sign them. They dressed in drag, performed hard rock music and built a huge local following by the late 70's... but went through a few members. Dee Snider (vocals) joined in 1976 and was an instantly recognizable frontman... Jay Jay French (guitar) was the band's founding member since 1973... By 1982, the band featured Mark Mendoza (bass), Eddie Ojeda (guitar) & A.J. Pero (drums). Twisted Sister was given an opportunity to record and tour the UK in 1982... they recorded their debut album 'Under the blade', but the label shut down soon after. They signed w/ Atlantic records in 1983 and released "You can't stop rock n' roll" and built a following in Europe... MTV broke them big in 1984 w/ the album 'Stay hungry'... but their fame attracted a new audience that made Twisted Sister a 'pop' phenomenon... Their 1985 album 'Come out and play' was a commercial failure w/ their hardcore fans disillusioned... They released their last studio album 'Love is for suckers' in 1987 before Dee Snider quit the band and ended Twisted Sister. Dee Snider tried to start a new band Widowmaker, but no one was interested in the 90's... Thankfully, he was able to start a career as a radio DJ and built himself up as a solo performer. More Twisted Sister songs - 'The Price' ... 'I wanna rock' ... "You can't stop rock n' roll" ... 'The kids are back'... 'Stay hungry'... 'Hot love' 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Come out and play still had quite a few great songs, but Love is for suckers was rather weak. But I never understood why the Widowmaker albums failed. Blood & bullets is an amazing album.
@@strogaa Widowmaker came out in the 90's when 80's rock was universally hated and ridiculed... Nobody wanted to hear new records by Dee Snider... or Stephen Pearcy's (Ratt) new band Arcade... New albums by Skid Row, Cinderella, Scorpions, L.A. Guns, Dio, Kix... all went into the recycle bins in the 90's.
@@sumonjamal1653 Yeah, that's the problem with the hypes. Labels only care about the promotion of the bands, who fit into the hype... and also people forget about those, who are still here and produce good stuff.
@@strogaa Labels, radio and MTV did have a hand in ceasing promotions of 80's bands, but Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, and Rush did exceptionally well in the 90's... as did Metallica and Megadeth... In all honesty, the 90's did bring about a change by the newer rock fans, and u couldn't sell them a new record by Def Leppard or Poison because they despised that sound (They were like, "Hell no! We want Nirvana and Pearl Jam, not that 80's crap...") ... I remember that attitude from people in 1995, and labels were not willing to change that stigma, and I don't think they could... Bands like Great White released some great records in the 90's, and they were all ignored... That was tragic to see.
Twisted Sister was based on Long Island which is just east of New York City. I lived on Long Island so I got to see Twisted Sister when they played a large local rock club in Queens back in the early 1980s. During intermission I actually played pinball with Dee Snider, the singer/writer, and - he won. He was a friendly regular guy. I now follow him on Twitter and once and a while we tweet and respond to each other. Small world.
I saw them back on Long Island, just after high school. They were a local band and played some nice clubs in the mid- late1970's--and a helluva great show. It was just before they became famous.
The dad played the head of the ROTC (reserved officer training corp), a college program, in the movie Animal House. His lines here were paraphrased from the movie as he berated one of the kids. "Is that a (fraternity) pledge pin on your uniform??!!" 😂 Him playing the dad here was classic!
In this video, the wife calls the father “Douglas C.” - who played the character “Douglas C. Niedermeyer” in “Animal House”. The father even talks about carrying an M16, but as we all know, Niedermeyer was killed by his own troops in Vietnam. The knob is definitely there however. 😂😂
The dad in the video is Mark Metcalf, who is basically doing a variation of his character used in the movie Animal House (where he played Doug Neidermeyer, an ROTC member).
The actor chosen to play the father character in these videos by Twisted Sister was also in the movie Animal House. He plays a total D*ck in the videos & the movie, but in the real world he was a real nice and grounded fellow, he passed away some years back and the world seems a little smaller for his absence.
Twisted Sister is one of my all time favourite bands, and even my screen name on here is inspired by one of their songs. Dee is an absolute legend, and fought against censorship in the 80s. Just for the record, the guy playing the father in this and the teacher in the "I wanna rock" music video, is basically playing the same character he played in the film National Lampoons Animal house, and even uses a few lines from the flim in his rants.
The dad in this was playing a riff on his character from the movie “Animal House.” Lead vocalist Dee Snyder testified before Congress on “violence and satanism in music.” It’s available on UA-cam.
That rant is taken from a character he portrayed on Animal House. It included the "(pledge) pin on your uniform!?", modified to Twisted Sister. You can hear the ad-libs toward the end of the song where they actually say the Animal House quotes, "Now drop and give me 20!" and "A pledge pin?? On your uniform??"
The dad in this video is played by Mark Metcalf. This is pretty much the same character, Neidermeyer, (and dialogue) he played in National Lampoon's Animal House. (He also would play a vampire called the Master in Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel while playing a orchestra conductor who preferred to be called Maestro on Seinfeld)
This was my first rock band back in the 80's... My favorite is "Love is for Suckers" This band has so many great songs... they are also very good live on stage... Thank you for this great reaction, and for bringing me back to when I was an annoying little teen haha
The dad, in the beginning, is the actor who played the character Lieutenant Neidemier in the movie Animal House. He's playing Neidemier again here as an alternate reality thing b/c Neidemier got fragged(killed) by his own men in Vietnam. One of the classic lines in Animal House from Neidemier was "A pledge pin, on your UNIFORM!! You have to watch Animal House to get it, but this video was released in the 80's after, literally, every kid in the States has seen Animal House. Fun Stuff, good movie too.
The character of the father is a reprise of the the younger version in a movie called Animal House. Its inclusion was an Easter eggs for those remembered the movie...same actor as well
Douglas C Niedermayer is a character that same actor played in Animal House. His rant is a direct reference to his characters rant at one of thar movies protagonists trying to join ROTC.
😂😂😂 I love you so much, ur so adorable. This song was funny back in the day lol. Beastie Boys are awesome too. " No sleep till Brooklyn". Or " you gotta fight for your right to party".
The Father ("Douglas C.") is a reprising role of "Douglas C. Neidermeyer" from a Great 80's Comedy called "Animal House".. you should react to it someday! They even use many of his tag lines from the Movie!
If you look at history, congress was trying to put restrictions on rock music. There is a video on UA-cam of this lead singer going to congress and answering questions. This song was about that time period.
Twisted Sister was an American heavy metal band formed in 1972, originally from Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey, and later based on Long Island, New York. Their best-known songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock", both of which were associated with music videos noted for their sense of slapstick humor
According to the lead singer Dee Snider the inspiration for the video was loony tunes cartoons. The actor that played the dad was playing a version of the character he played in the movie “animal house”.
I was eleven when this came out, and I can still recite the Dad's rant verbatim. Such an 80's Metal Classic, and an anthem for the ages. 🤘✊ Fun Fact: The Dad is played by Mark Metcalf, who also played The Master on Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
I met Dee Snider in 2006 at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when he was picking up his custom chopper at Black Hills H-D. It was a fun rally (aside from a flare up between the Hells Angels and Outlaws). I met a lot of interesting people there in addition Dee, including G. Gordon Liddy (of Watergate infamy), Jessi Combs (RIP), and the serving Postmaster General of the US.
ESTE TEMA ..... ES UN CLASICO DE LOS 80s ...... ES COMO EL DESPERTAR DE QUIENES ESTAVAMOS DORMIDOS ...... POR EL PODER DE LOS PADRES ..... " SOLO QUEREMOS ROCK Y NUESTRA VIDA "
I was on a plane a few years ago coming home from Las Vegas and lead singer Dee Snider was on my plane. I spoke to him at baggage claim. He was extremely friendly and told me about some new projects he was working on.
This was their biggest song. I Wanna Rock (the song the kid was playing in his room) would be their next big hit, but it didn't quite have the same chart success. We're Not Gonna Take It peaked at #21 on the Hot 100 and #7 on the US Rock Charts, while I Wanna Rock peaked at #68/#35...both singles came out in 1984.
The dad is played by the same guy that played Doug Neidermeyer in National Lampoon's Animal House and he also plays a teacher in their video for I Wanna Rock.
We all loved this one and it was a jam, back in the day. Still watchin and loving you, Bisscute. Take it easy. Shoutout from your guy in the States. Much peace and lots of love. Later, doll.
I saw these guys in concert with The Mammas Boys. It was one of those shows that I just kind of ended up at and it ended up being great. They took the roof off for sure.
This was their breakout hit that put them on the map. Their follow up hit was a banger. I was the song that “The Kid” was listening to when his father burst into the room! It’s called (aptly enough)” I Wanna Rock”😆😜🤟🎸✌️🫶
Thank you so much for your vedios for sure God did bless you for making people smile and brightening up a room your to precious the expressions you make on your face are so cute and I love your accent
A couple things about the video. Dee Snyder is the lead singer of Twisted Sister and is different from the actor playing the father. The actor playing the father was playing an older version of a character he played in the movie Animal House, which you might want to react to. Also, Twisted Sister made a cameo in Pee Week’s Big Adventure.
I saw them in 1983. It was on a school night so there were only about 2500 people there but they played anyways. BTW they were opening up for Iron Maiden. It was needless to say an awesome concert
Good Luck getting "We're Not Going to Take It" out of your head!!!!!! My friends and I went to a local bar and these guys happened to be there (around 1980 I think, give or take a year or two) they were dressed in pink and we left after a beer or two. (not our type of music then) I did love there later stuff when signed to a major label.
There were too many parents of the 60's that were like this!!! Rock n' Roll, long hair, fashion, civil unrest, Anti Vietnam War protesting was considered teen and young adult rebellion!!! The Beatles were at the forefront of everything I mentioned and were dominating influences throughout the 60's!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😃😃
The father is a character from an American comedy classic. "Douglas C. Neidermier" was such a humongous pr!ck in "Animal House", and he gets his come comeuppance all the time. I've seen this video a million times, I've seen Animal House a million times. That said, wow he's abusive. I'm 55, that kind of abuse was just kind of Tuesday for so many of us back then. My Parents lived through "The Great Depression" and WW2, I'm sure they had their share of trauma that was just suppressed. Sorry to take it there, but the look on your face while I was having happy memories kind of kind of punched me right in the guts. It's all good, that character is a real sonofab* no doubt about it, but he just gets abused in the movie as well. It's pretty hardcore slapstick comedy, "Animal House" may be triggering in 2023, let me count the ways: - statutory grape - University President's Wife is a drunken mess who hooks up with University students - Criminal voyeurism - Racism - Alcohol & drug abuse - Rampant misogyny - The wrong f'ing way to go to College - Virtually everyone in the everyone in the movie is some kind of a-hole But at the time it was made, and the time in which it takes place it worked. The Students of Delta House were all avoiding Vietnam and living like their lives could be over soon. This was really part of a new movement in American comedy that had slowly started in the 1950's or so. Comedians were being arrested for using foul language. By the time "Animal House" came out, the counter-culture that had protested the Vietnam War and fought for Civil Rights (at a time you might die doing so) were in control of a lot of big companies (Apple for one). Their "gallows humor" was pretty widely accepted, as the the U.S. had recently left Vietnam. A lot of hurt people back then. That generation wasn't buying a lot of the propaganda we learn in school, because they were having more and varying experiences providing them with an alternative viewpoint on some issues. Sorry for blathering, context was needed.
One of the top 3 live bands I've ever seen. Because of the 'image' they didn't get the credit they deserved for the actual musicianship. Remember seeing them in Edinburgh in 1986 and they were absolutely brilliant. Spent 10 years playing the bar circuit in NY and NJ before they were 'discovered' and were tight as hell. Worth catching some of Mark Mendoza, the bass player's, stuff with the Dictators as well.
Hello again Biss! Glad you listened to Twisted Sisters, I was in my twenties when that song became a hit. A suggestion for another Twisted Sisters song is, "You Can´t Stop Rock 'N´Roll" from 1983. Check it out. Have a nice day. 🙂
This is such a cool anthem! I am glad that you got to react to Twisted Sister! I would like to recommend their song "The Price" to you - official video (for the fun of it) again! Greetings from somewhere in Germany to somewhere in Germany! ;-)
P.S. -The "father in this is doing a parody of his famous part in the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House". Madalina, you must watch it. I think you will love it if you do. Thanks for this little memory of one of my yesterdays. Much peace, love, and happiness to you and your mom. Loving you, lots. Later, Bisscute.
Thank you for watching the video, It means a lot to me .

Not only tore them apart, but did so eloquently and sharply.
The look on Al Gore's face when Dee called out Tipper was priceless..

huevos con aceite y limón es la receta de la mayonesa
lol
Not only in Chile. That is done in a lot of spanish speaking countries.
lol yeah he did it it Mexico too, had the whole stadium shouting huevos con aceite, it was epic.
"I Wanna Rock!" Is another rocking song from Twisted Sister! 🎸 🎶
I'm glad you picked the extended version. This is such an iconic video and loved this version whenever it came on MTV back in the 80's. 🤘🤘

“A pledge pin on your uniform!?!?” Of of the Best lines from animal house
Neidermeyer? DEAD!
To understand the father's character you have to watch the movie Animal House. That's where the father persona comes from

The actor who plays the part of the father here , was also in the John Landis movie " Animal House " with John Belushi .
I saw them open up for Iron Maiden in December, 1984. Great show!
Yes this was 80's. This was one of my anthems as a young teen!
still is....
This was the anthem of my childhood.

ESTE TEMA ..... ES UN CLASICO DE LOS 80s ...... ES COMO EL DESPERTAR DE QUIENES ESTAVAMOS DORMIDOS ...... POR EL PODER DE LOS PADRES ..... " SOLO QUEREMOS ROCK Y NUESTRA VIDA "
I was on a plane a few years ago coming home from Las Vegas and lead singer Dee Snider was on my plane. I spoke to him at baggage claim. He was extremely friendly and told me about some new projects he was working on.
Great reaction. I had never seen the extended version before. Thanks for that.
This was their biggest song. I Wanna Rock (the song the kid was playing in his room) would be their next big hit, but it didn't quite have the same chart success. We're Not Gonna Take It peaked at #21 on the Hot 100 and #7 on the US Rock Charts, while I Wanna Rock peaked at #68/#35...both singles came out in 1984.
The dad is played by the same guy that played Doug Neidermeyer in National Lampoon's Animal House and he also plays a teacher in their video for I Wanna Rock.
The song at the beginning id " I Want to Rock" !!!! also an incredible banger!!!!
Great song ..great 80s band
This is the song you listen to when you are P.O’d! Always makes you feel better!
The price is a great one.
little bit of facts about the actor, he was in the movie "animal house" that's where some of these lines in the video came from.
I carried an M16, you carry that electric twanger!
Good times !!! This song was a favorite of mine when I was a kid. 80s kid
Definitely I Wanna Rock! And Korn Clown.
"No son of mine is going to be a Goofy Goober!!!", I imagine the dad saying. 😆
Back in the day when MTV was king....I wanna rock is another great TS song/video....this is the anthem to my generation (Gen X)
There is a video of Dee Snyder singing this song slow and gentle about a boy dealing with cancer. It is beautiful.
We all loved this one and it was a jam, back in the day. Still watchin and loving you, Bisscute. Take it easy. Shoutout from your guy in the States. Much peace and lots of love. Later, doll.
The unforgettable 80's, I miss you. The Twisted Sister in the alge, the boiling o
I saw these guys in concert with The Mammas Boys. It was one of those shows that I just kind of ended up at and it ended up being great. They took the roof off for sure.
😂😂she gonna rock out on this one😂😂❤❤
Great Song Miss Bisscute !!!(. You will have Great fun with this one !!!! As Always the Like Button 🔘 has been Illuminated 😁👍👍😎🌞🤗
Did anyone else giggle when she said "when in doubt, go for the extended version"? Im sorry it was just funny to me. Love ya Bis!
This was their breakout hit that put them on the map. Their follow up hit was a banger. I was the song that “The Kid” was listening to when his father burst into the room! It’s called (aptly enough)” I Wanna Rock”😆😜🤟🎸✌️🫶
The actor who plays the father also plays the master in buffy the vampire slayer tv series
Now you should their other iconic song they were talking about in the video: "I wanna rock"
Thank you so much for your vedios for sure God did bless you for making people smile and brightening up a room your to precious the expressions you make on your face are so cute and I love your accent
Takes me back to my childhood days. "Under the Blade" is still a great album
A couple things about the video. Dee Snyder is the lead singer of Twisted Sister and is different from the actor playing the father. The actor playing the father was playing an older version of a character he played in the movie Animal House, which you might want to react to. Also, Twisted Sister made a cameo in Pee Week’s Big Adventure.
I saw them in 1983. It was on a school night so there were only about 2500 people there but they played anyways. BTW they were opening up for Iron Maiden. It was needless to say an awesome concert
Good Luck getting "We're Not Going to Take It" out of your head!!!!!! My friends and I went to a local bar and these guys happened to be there (around 1980 I think, give or take a year or two) they were dressed in pink and we left after a beer or two. (not our type of music then) I did love there later stuff when signed to a major label.
Their other big hit, from the same album, was "I Wanna Rock."
Absolutely love hearing this song at sporting events. I definitely recommend I Wanna Rock. Great reaction Biss ❤🤘🎸
the father in the video is from the film ' national lampoons. ''animal house' ', where he is a soldier,
There were too many parents of the 60's that were like this!!!
Rock n' Roll, long hair, fashion, civil unrest, Anti Vietnam War protesting was
considered teen and young adult rebellion!!!
The Beatles were at the forefront of everything I mentioned and were dominating influences throughout the 60's!!!👍👍👌👌✌✌😃😃
the father in the video is Mark Metcalf... he played The Master in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
He played the Master and he played THE MAESTRO in Seinfeld.
hi here from Brazil. this band is very good, I heard a lot
this is one of the sources, Jack Black got his ideas for the movie from...
and it´s one of the most iconic positive protest songs ever made..
The father is a character from an American comedy classic. "Douglas C. Neidermier" was such a humongous pr!ck in "Animal House", and he gets his come comeuppance all the time. I've seen this video a million times, I've seen Animal House a million times. That said, wow he's abusive. I'm 55, that kind of abuse was just kind of Tuesday for so many of us back then. My Parents lived through "The Great Depression" and WW2, I'm sure they had their share of trauma that was just suppressed.
Sorry to take it there, but the look on your face while I was having happy memories kind of kind of punched me right in the guts. It's all good, that character is a real sonofab* no doubt about it, but he just gets abused in the movie as well. It's pretty hardcore slapstick comedy, "Animal House" may be triggering in 2023, let me count the ways:
- statutory grape
- University President's Wife is a drunken mess who hooks up with University students
- Criminal voyeurism
- Racism
- Alcohol & drug abuse
- Rampant misogyny
- The wrong f'ing way to go to College
- Virtually everyone in the everyone in the movie is some kind of a-hole
But at the time it was made, and the time in which it takes place it worked. The Students of Delta House were all avoiding Vietnam and living like their lives could be over soon.
This was really part of a new movement in American comedy that had slowly started in the 1950's or so. Comedians were being arrested for using foul language. By the time "Animal House" came out, the counter-culture that had protested the Vietnam War and fought for Civil Rights (at a time you might die doing so) were in control of a lot of big companies (Apple for one). Their "gallows humor" was pretty widely accepted, as the the U.S. had recently left Vietnam. A lot of hurt people back then. That generation wasn't buying a lot of the propaganda we learn in school, because they were having more and varying experiences providing them with an alternative viewpoint on some issues.
Sorry for blathering, context was needed.
Recommend: UFO. Song is Only You Can Rock Me. Official music video.
One of the top 3 live bands I've ever seen. Because of the 'image' they didn't get the credit they deserved for the actual musicianship. Remember seeing them in Edinburgh in 1986 and they were absolutely brilliant. Spent 10 years playing the bar circuit in NY and NJ before they were 'discovered' and were tight as hell. Worth catching some of Mark Mendoza, the bass player's, stuff with the Dictators as well.
Hello again Biss! Glad you listened to Twisted Sisters, I was in my twenties when that song became a hit. A suggestion for another Twisted Sisters song is, "You Can´t Stop Rock 'N´Roll" from 1983. Check it out. Have a nice day. 🙂
Straight up banger!
This,hit the charts my Sr year in high-school, as a rebellious boy this was just what the Dr ordered ❤ !
This is such a cool anthem! I am glad that you got to react to Twisted Sister! I would like to recommend their song "The Price" to you - official video (for the fun of it) again! Greetings from somewhere in Germany to somewhere in Germany! ;-)
Always go for the extended version.
I Wanna Rock has a similar "angry authoritarian" theme, same dude, but portraying a teacher.
P.S. -The "father in this is doing a parody of his famous part in the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House". Madalina, you must watch it. I think you will love it if you do. Thanks for this little memory of one of my yesterdays. Much peace, love, and happiness to you and your mom. Loving you, lots. Later, Bisscute.
Love your laugh😂 Cute
