I WANNA ROCK
“I Wanna Rock” is a song written and composed by Dee Snider and performed by his band Twisted Sister. It was released on the 1984 album Stay Hungry. (More from Wikipedia)
There was a follow-up song from Twisted Sister that is not so well known as “We’re Not Gonna Take It”. “I Wanna Rock” also had Mark Metcalf in the video and an Animal House theme; and another actor from the movie, Stephen Furst had a cameo. In this one, a boy is accosted by his teacher (played by Metcalf) for putting a Twisted Sister logo on his textbook. After a booming taunt, “What do you wanna do with your life???”, the boy says: “I Wanna Rock!”
Both songs come from the band’s third album, Stay Hungry; Twisted Sister has released 7 studio albums, 7 live albums, and 7 retrospective albums. The band has embarked on their farewell tour that is expected to end in mid-2016.
