Twisted-Sister - Big Hits And Nasty Cuts: The Best Of Twisted Sister

"We're Not Gonna Take It" Is A 1984 Hit Song By The American Heavy Metal Band Twisted Sister From Their Album Stay Hungry. The Song Was First Released As A Single With B-Side Song "You Can't Stop Rock & Roll" On April 27 1984. The Stay Hungry Album Was Released Two Weeks Later On May 10 1984. The Single Reached #21 On The Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart Making It Twisted Sister's Only Top 40 Single. The Song Was Ranked #47 On 100 Greatest 80's Songs And #21 On VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders Of The 80s. The Song Was Written By Vocalist Dee Snider. As Influences For The Song He Cites The Glam Rock Band Slade The Punk Band Sex Pistols And The Christmas Carol "O Come All Ye Faithful". It Is Also Possible That The Concluding Words Of A Certain Ranting Statement Made By Peter Finch's Character Howard Beale In The 1976 American Movie Network May Have Been Inspirational In Dee Snider's Choice Of Lyrics For The Song. "We're Not Gonna Take It" Is Also The Title Of The Last Song On The Who's Tommy Album But There Is No Connection Between The Two. The Song Is Notable For Its Popular Music Video Directed By Marty Callner With Its Emphasis On Slapstick Comedy Where A Parent Gets The Worst Of The Band's Mischief. Controversy Arose When The Depiction Of The Family In The Video Caused A Public Outcry Long Before The "explicit Lyrics" Warning Was Placed On Records Cassettes And CDs. This Led To The Formation Of The Parents Music Resource Center.
