The lead singer of Twisted Sister, Dee Snyder, went in front of Congress sometime in the 80’s to defend no censorship. He went in and mopped up Congress with his position. Really cool.
@@theidajawho And John Denver. Who was invited as he made white bread seem exciting. But he totally told that Senate Committee they were wrong. Tipper Gore's little PMRC hearings were a total flop when it came to the musicians she invited.
@@CBGB_1977 True but I have personal reasons to hate John Denver lol! My dad worked at Heavenly Valley ski resort where he had a celebrity ski thing every year for charity. One year they were gonna have Mister T in it and I begged my dad to see him! He took me and sat me in the celebrity food tent. John came in saw me and stsarted screaming who's F&%%&*T kid is this! My dad had words with him and I got to meet Mister T but I will always remember how much of an asshat he was to a 7 year old!
Had to be one the funniest videos out there by far, for everybody that's out there that is too young, the father played in animal House the movie with John Belushi, that's where the pledge pin comes into play, you watch the movie you'll understand.
😄 Lol... Most parents in the '80s were like that. Most... not all. I was 11 when this song & video came out and my siblings couldn't help but laugh because he sounded so much like our dad.
Oh, the 80's were a wonderful time for music!! Great teen rebel song ! What every kid wants to tell their parents at some time or another! Great reaction! Thanks 😎😎😎
This was the anthem for my generation. Our parents didn't understand our love of METAL and I can remember my dad giving the same speech as that boy in the video's dad did. I can still hear those words ring in my ears and I'm in my 50's! My first tattoo was the Twisted Sister logo on my right hand and I was only 12 when I got it! LOL...total rebel
This was my daughter's age group. As a child of the 60s myself I liked it more than she did. I wasn't into heavy metal but I liked this song. I was the one who bought the album.
If you ever watch the movie Animal House? The father is in it he plays a military otc guy in a college he plays the same kind of guy always mad. A perfect character for the video
The lead singer is Dee Snider and he’s a genuinely good guy! Year ago he testified, along with John Denver, against censorship & for Public Enemy’s right to put out their controversial rap songs! And he’s still speaking up against injustice. Follow him on Twitter to see for yourself! 👏♥️💪
The father is Douglas Neidermeyer from the movie Animal House. Great movie from 1978. You should check it out. It's about a drunken party frat house, starring John Belushi. Neidermeyer belongs to the straight-laced glammer boy frat house next door, and is in ROTC. Same lines.
I went through it (that dad thing). What he never got was that he just forced me to rebel even more... I'm 57 and still a metalhead (though I love all kinds of music, metal is my go-to!!!). 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
My dad used to do that, and then give me 1 hour to clean it up, or everything went into the trash, then get my ass beat with a leather belt for getting him mad in the first place. Thanks for reacting to this I did have this album at the time my dad was like that. Much love to you and your family 💕Brandi Modrak 💕❤
The guy at the beginning is Neidermeyer from the classic movie Animal House. The Democrats tried to ban lyrics they didn't like with the PMRC and musicians pushed back and defeated their attempt at government censorship.
This video - along with Thriller and Take On Me are my three top favourites of the 80's. Never fails to make me laugh hysterically. The other song that was playing in the background was their other hit I Wanna Rock. It's a great one as well. Cheers from Canada
This was my Senior high school Senior class song of 1985 . On the last day of school we walked the halls of our high school blasting the song with a boom box lol
The father in the beginning is actor Mark Metcalf... he is basically playing his famous character from the Hilarious movie- National Lampoon's Animal House "Doug Neidermeyer" A college military brat that loves to yell!! A major asshole if you will!! LMAO
I saw Twisted Sister back in.... 1987 I THINK (drugs man, not sure what year lol) at the Orpheium Theater in Boston. As Im standing outside, here comes Dee walking from the street to the front door to the Orpheium. Of course everyone goes up tp him for his autograph. Towards the end is me, wearin a blue jean jacket with band names & several autographs on it. He sees me, looks at the jacket, asks me to turn around so he can take a good look at it and says “something’s missing”. “What? No there’s not” I respond. He forcefully turns me around... really studies the jacket... Im 6’8” and not an easy person to move so this took FORCE... turns me to the right... then the left... asks for a marker then tells me to lift my left arm and keep it in the air. He draws the fuckin TS symbol on the jacket & colors it in (whole time he’s just diggin into my side) then signs him name under the symbol. Hands me back the marker & says “NOW your jacket is fuckin complete!” We talked for about 30 seconds afterwards and he’s a really nice guy - he was just givin me shit for not having TS on it 😂😂 still have the jacket hanging in my closet.
Those were fun times. I was seven years old at the time and huge TS fan. Still a fan today. This was their 3 record. A lot of kids my age thought it was their first and I said it's their third. It was funny. Their lesser known song the the kids are back was my jam back then in the day. I am I'm me another favorite.
there is a different version to this song by dee snyder that will bring tears to your eyes . a slower type version that has to do with his daughters cancer
No lie Recklezz if I didn’t clean my room to my moms standards she would F it up ten times worse than it was and make me clean it again. Welcome to white suburbia.
For this video and the video for I Wanna Rock, the band wanted it to be lighthearted aand kinda like the old Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cartoons. For both videos they got Mark Metcalf to reprise his role in Animal House. In the video for I Wanna Rock, they also got the actor who played Flounder in Animal Hose to play the School Principal Back when these videos came out, my generation(Gen X) were familiar with the movie Animal House, so we mostly laughed at the Dad in the video.
I'm sad that Crys missed alot of great songs 😭 Hopefully you'll show them to her 💜 LMK if I'm spelling her name wrong. If memory serves it's short for Crystal, so Crys (?)
Used to watch tht video all da time on MTV whn they played music!!😁 gotta a good song u sld react to and guess who sampled it!! BRUCE HORNSBY = that's the way it is.
back in the 80s when the gov was taking down rappers and these guys. dee snider retaliated on them bitches live at his hearing...........one gov official said did you just respond to senator al gores's wife? dee said nope i was talking to Ms. Tipper Gore, the one who ask me that question.
You need to check out another 80s rock video that is good. Keel and the song The Right To Rock. Here's the link th-cam.com/video/HphiFz5t6JU/w-d-xo.html

Yup along with Blackie Lawless from W.A.S.P. - they ruled Congress!
He went again many years later to fight to get music put back into school! He's awesome!
@@theidajawho And John Denver. Who was invited as he made white bread seem exciting. But he totally told that Senate Committee they were wrong. Tipper Gore's little PMRC hearings were a total flop when it came to the musicians she invited.
John Denver’s testimony was killer too. As well as Frank Zappa, Blackie Lawless, Rob Halford and others.

@@itchyandred4131 thank you I got the first name Douglas c but I couldn't get the last I had the last name I couldn't spell it right.
Cheers for that ^^

I remember those days.

The whole scene in the bedroom is a riff on the dad actor's role in Animal House. It's a reference to scene in the movie.
This was the anthem for my generation. Our parents didn't understand our love of METAL and I can remember my dad giving the same speech as that boy in the video's dad did.

"I Wanna Rock" next.
Twisted Sister is different and fun!!
60’s to 80,s rock is still my preferred genre of music. I still refer to anything newer than 80’s as “Newer Rock”
One of my favorite bands. I like every song they put out
Check out how dee snyder the vocalist here stood up against the pmrc which was a religious/political organization who was out to ban such music.
The father is Douglas Neidermeyer from the movie Animal House. Great movie from 1978. You should check it out. It's about a drunken party frat house, starring John Belushi. Neidermeyer belongs to the straight-laced glammer boy frat house next door, and is in ROTC. Same lines.
The chorus was inspired by O Come All Ye Faithful. (Listen to the tune of both)
Dee did a stripped down version of this song for cancer in kids. It is beautiful
I'll have to look for that. Thank you
Just watched it - tears are flowing
He was the ahole from Animal House and he was recreating his role. They were known as the extreme Glam Rock Band. It was great! ❤️🤘.
Theme song of the 80's! You just had to be there! Class of 89!!🤘🤘
This song was included in the movie musical “Rock Of Ages”. The lead singer Dee Snyder was involved in politics for awhile.
The one who plays the father in this video was also in the classic comedy " Animal House " with Belushi , Kevin Bacon and other actors .
I went through it (that dad thing). What he never got was that he just forced me to rebel even more... I'm 57 and still a metalhead (though I love all kinds of music, metal is my go-to!!!). 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Twisted Sister from Baldwin Long Island New York!

Miss MTV's 80s videos, watched for hrs
One of the first music videos I ever saw on MTV
Tha dad in the video was a drill instruction from the movie "Animal House" he yelled a lot in that movie to.
Saw them when they opened up for Iron Maiden. Awesome Concert my ears rang for 1 week afterwards.
Fun Reaction
Song I think it’s, The Price
That one has a good storyline a bit different from their other ones ✌️🎶

Happy Father's Day From Twisted Sister.
A lot of us who were brought up with Vietnam veterans as fathers did not have it easy. Talk about thrown to the wolves.
You should watch / react to the slowed down version of this song. It will blow your mind
I wanna rock was another good one from them
About 10 years ago I almost started work on a kids TV show with Dee Snyder. Sadly the deal fell through and we didn't get it.
there is a different version to this song by dee snyder that will bring tears to your eyes . a slower type version that has to do with his daughters cancer
I stood toe to toe with Dee about 5 years ago and, yes, Big scary dude, lol. I remember this video from my childhood and it was a smash hit.
No comment on Dee Snider and that hair makeup and clothes? Lol that's a first
Dee Snyder, PMRC Hearings. Look it Up
listen to sweat dreams by marlyn manson also the listen to washed it all away by five finger death punch both amazing videos you will like them both
The anthem for teenage rebellion! I don't think I'll show this one to my sixteen year old! 🤣😆
fun watching your reaction ..
No lie Recklezz if I didn’t clean my room to my moms standards she would F it up ten times worse than it was and make me clean it again. Welcome to white suburbia.
Yup
Oh wow!!
There was a Twisted Sister hotline.
This was GenX liberal anthem of the 80's 🤘
This was one of our teenage rebellion anthems.
Try I wanna rock another version of this video. Same guy in it.
This was my theme song
Early Gen X anthem ❤❤❤
How about a reaction for Ireland ?
Irish band “Ash” , (singing Oh Yeah).
Thanks 🙏🏻
The father played in a military movie and was chosen to play the over bearing military father.
For this video and the video for I Wanna Rock, the band wanted it to be lighthearted aand kinda like the old Roadrunner and Wile E Coyote cartoons.

Back when these videos came out, my generation(Gen X) were familiar with the movie Animal House, so we mostly laughed at the Dad in the video.
The Ukrainian army chose this as their ‘battle anthem’ for their fight against Russia.
I'm sad that Crys missed alot of great songs 😭 Hopefully you'll show them to her 💜
LMK if I'm spelling her name wrong. If memory serves it's short for Crystal, so Crys (?)
Correct! It's Crys - shortened from Crystal! ❤️

the father apparently has 9 lives.
Oi
👋🏻♥️
REACT TO LUCKI Y NOT
Song dedicated to the o'biden administration !!! 😆
I hated them, and still do. Their sound/production is shit, their songs are shit, they are cross-dressing joke-posers. That said...one of the guitarists was interviewed recently and said that when promoters call them, they show up to gigs and the only music they play is their old hits. So, they get hired all the time because they give the audience exactly what they want, and, are apparently making a fortune doing it.
So for that... "Respect."
