A little backstory about this video: the dad is played by actor Mark Metcalf who also played overbearing loud-mouthed ROTC leader Doug Neidermeyer in the movie Animal House. His antics in this video were taken from his role in that movie (in the movie he tormented a character named "Flounder" by yelling at him "A PLEDGE PIN?!?!?" whereas here he tormented his son in the same way "A TWISTED SISTER PIN?!?!?") edit: Metcalf also appeared in Twisted Sister's video "I Wanna Rock", also as an overbearing loudmouth, except this time he is a school teacher

[@karlsmith2570]

A big part of why Mark Metcalf appears in this video and the video for "I Wanna Rock," which also features Stephen Furst, who played Flounder in "Animal House," is because lead vocalist, Dee Snider is a major fan of that particular movie

[@BryanH63]

The opening is a total tribute to the movie Animal House

[@bazkeen]

There is a great version that Dee Snider did for Childrens cancer relief. It's a stripped down version 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 Dee is legendary when he got up in front of congress and made them look like idiots. They weren't prepared for him 😂

[@liquidminds]

that congress video is a piece of history. He wiped the floor with Al Gore.

[@377skyboss]

That Congressional committee definitely was not ready for Dee! I've seen him testify and it was great.

[@kevinchandler179]

He is amazing and fantastic!!! The whole damn band was phenomenal, the drummer passed away, I believe his name was A.J!!!

[@karlsmith2570]

Well, making that group of congressional politicians look like a bunch of idiots wasn't all that difficult, actually

[@markwarren7116]

Well who can’t make congress look like idiots. A 5 year old can!

[@ferencercseyravasz7301]

Dee Snider might look like a cross between Bette Midler and Hulk Hogan, but he's a very intelligent guy. When Tipper Gore (wife of former vice-president Al Gore) started to introduce censorship by founding the whole PMRC thing, Snider had a hearing in front of a congressional committee and he outclassed everyone in the room. The recording of that hearing can be found on youtube, it's worth listening to. This song is an absolute anthem of rebellion for everyone who had to tolerate hyper-conservative abusive and restricting boomer parents in those years.

[@dodgeboy90501]

The guy who played the farther in the video is the same guy who played the ROTC leader Doug Neidermeyer(Mark Metcalf) in the movie National Lampoons "Animal House".

[@up0820]

The one thing I never understood was why there would be ROTC in college in the movie, ROTC is only high school, by college age you just join the military as in west point or such.

[@dodgeboy90501]

@shutup0820 ROTC is only in Colleges and Universities. You are thinking about Junior ROTC which is in high school.

[@tabithagamblin791]

He's also in the other twisted sister music video l wanna rock.

[@RoGueNavy]

​@@up0820high school has JROTC, the Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps. The college version is the Reserve Officer's Training Corps. The Military Acadamies, (West Point, Annapolis, and Colorado Springs), are extremely selective, and require military service from all attendees, upon graduation. Ordinary colleges have ROTC units, which also result in the cadets graduating with a commission in the military, but without the social standing of having attended one of the Service Academies.

[@bopoulsen4030]

when i was 12 years old i sav this in mtv-europe, Im 51 and still love the f..king song

[@nightgoblin29]

Also 51 and also still F love it haha

[@erikthompson619]

Yes, that is indeed Dee Snider's own hair - and at the age of 68, turning 69 on March 15th, he still retains it in all its curly glory, and the same goes for his exceptionally muscled body, the gym and exercise enthusiast that he is. The legendary Twisted Sister belonged to the same 70s New York scene that gave birth to the New York Dolls and Kiss, but Twisted Sister had to struggle longer before they got a record deal, despite their colossal regional popularity - their fanclub boasting over 20 000 members. Their saving grace was the UK. Twisted Sister were at the very end of their rope and almost didn't manage to scrape together the money for plane tickets when they received an offer to come and play in the UK. Paired together with Motörhead, their extreme glam metal outfits making them appear like the worst thing imaginable to the working class crowd of the former band. (Coincidentally, the band bought their stage clothes in a shop catering to overweight women.) But the late great Lemmy of Motörhead began by addressing the crowd: "These guys are my friends, and they're great - so give them a chance." The crowd did, to be immediately overwelmed by the absolutely amazing live act that was Twisted Sister. They got their record deal, and between 1982 and 1985 were to release four albums with this, their classic lineup: Dee Snider on vocals (and 100 % of the songwriting), Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda on guitar, Mark Mendoza on bass and AJ Pero on drums. The most successful of these albums was the third, "Stay hungry", released in 1984 and producing Twisted Sister's two signature hits: "We're not gonna take it" and "I wanna rock". Hilariously, producer Tom Werman tried very hard to persuade the band to leave those very songs off the album, claiming "We're not gonna take it" sounded like a nursery rhyme and "I wanna rock" sounded like a leftover Molly Hatchet song. Dee Snider, however, as always did things his own way, and the "Stay hungry" album became a multi-million international bestseller because of it. The mean dad appearing in this video is based on Dee Snider's own father - who unbelievably enough regarded this portrayal of himself as a compliment. Actor Mark Metcalf was chosen because Dee Snider imagined this was just how Metcalf's character from the "Animal house" movie, Douglas C. Neidermeyer, would be like as a family man. That's why he's referred to as "Douglas C." in the video. Metcalf reprised his part, of sorts, in the "I wanna rock" video, but portraying a mean teacher that time. In 1985 Twisted Sister's career took a turn for the worse, when the next album "Come out and play" was deemed to not have the same bite as its predecessor and the response to its lead-off single, a cover of the Shangri-Las classic "Leader of the pack", was overwhelmingly negative. AJ Pero left the band and after one more album - on which Twisted Sister scrapped their whole glam metal image - the band folded entirely. Dee Snider was still fondly remembered and admired for his senate hearing in 1985 (available on KZbin), speaking out against censorship on music and other entertainment after the newly formed Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) had singled out Twisted Sister, among others, as being a particularly harmful influence to young people. Snider gave his accusers a nasty shock, them not expecting him to be the amazingly intelligent and eloquent man he was and is (as well as a devout Christian and a family man, to this day happily married to the same woman). Frank Zappa and John Denver appeared at the same hearing, both in support of Snider. Twisted Sister reformed in 2002 as a touring act, but never made another studio album except a bizarre collection of Christmas songs heavy metal style. Snider also made a fortune for writing one of the songs appearing on another artist's Christmas album: Celine Dion. I kid you not. In 2016, Twisted Sister folded for good, at the insistance of Dee Snider himself who said he refused to allow the band to reach a point where the audience would leave the show feeling that it had not been as great as the last time. And drummer AJ Pero's unexpected passing the year before had precipitated the decision. The band's friend, legendary Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy, took over sticksman duties for Twisted Sister's last farewell performances. Dee Snider has still remained active as a solo artist - mostly delivering music even more brutal and metallic than Twisted Sister's. However, he recently announced that he may be retiring from music entirely, to focus on other artistic interests such as making movies. He is actually something of a horror movie pioneer, from his now classic 1998 outing "Strangeland", spearheading the subgenre now known as "torture porn" that gained massive success in the mid-00s with the "Saw" and "Hostel" franchises.

[@brianmcdonald7520]

when i was a freshman in high school in 85 we were all in the cafeteria for orientation i looked at the other end with the library was and there was a guy getting up and leaving he had all that hair that Dee has there was someone with him. never saw him again of course there was over 3000 kids in the school i never saw the same person twice in the halls lol.

[@nnotwo]

This is the 1st song I heard from TS.. Been hooked up since.. And I showed it to my daughters.. They were like... 😂😂😂😂

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister! 😎🔥🤘🎸

[@tbfdude]

I like the part where his lil brother at the table was laughing at him getting yelled at, upstairs. 🤣

[@scottwerhun3799]

So subtle, yet so awesome! Exactly what a little brother would do!

[@JustinSydAust49]

Lovely hair & smile, Lulu.

[@michaelavery6390]

Their take on the Christmas song 🎵 O come all ye faithful is absolutely hilarious, especially the video to it . The long version !

[@kdm71291]

They put out an entire Christmas album...Dee is actually of the faith.

[@breedhate68]

wow, I went to a twisted sister concert in radio city music hall in I think 87 or 88, great show, met Dee Snider twice in 2019 and 2022 and he stated they should of recorded that show. It was the come out and play debut show they did, they killed it. now i'm 55 and watching youtube videos of shows. how time really flies

[@user-io3wp2bd9s]

Back in 85..this was voted my senior class song. School admin made us change it. School was messed up even back then.

[@jom7604]

They made such great videos back in the day. When MTV was a true music and video channel. So glad I grew up in that era.

[@carlop.7182]

About Dee Snider's (the lead singer) hair, I recall an interview on MTV in the 80's someone asked and he said: maybe yes or maybe not. I think it was part of his fun to not answer the question. Part of the legend, I guess. But that was common in the 80's: big hair--and everyone always wanted bigger. Thanks to you & have a nice day. Hope to see all 3 of you reunited soon.

[@RoGueNavy]

I've been an SMF since the first time I heard Twisted Sister, back in 1984. We fans call ourselves SMFs, after the song by the same name, from the "Stay Hungry" album. The letters stand for "Sick Mother F**ker".

[@Steve-nu4sv]

😂😂 Daddy obviously an ex military man with 'issues' great start to an enjoyable performance and an even more enjoyable reaction. As a boy I played TUBA in the school band. I quickly switched to bass guitar which I could practice play without or with headphones plugged in. My parents were so relieved you cannot play a tuba quietly!😂😂

[@chrisostneberg1817]

Classic 80's.

[@cloudrunner7]

UNless you saw the movie "National Lampoon's Animal House" the intro portion of this video will only make a little sense. Douglas C Neidameyer was the psycho ROTC drill Sergeant from the movie. Some of his rant is direct quotes from the movie. If you watch the movie you will immediately recgnize him. I was a pro musician and we did this song as a cover in a couple of my bands. It was a fun tune to play.

[@Wishes890]

The opening to the video is a freaking classic!! Funny as hell!

[@psycojuggalo1642]

Yes that's his real hair and the beginning was a play on animal house also the character was played by the guy that played needimire on animal house

[@Tonka1Wolf]

One Of The 80's Greatest Bands. Some Other Videos From TS Are I Wanna Rock, Leader Of The Pack, The Price, Hot Love, You Can't Stop Rock And Roll. They Are Worth Watching Over And Over.

[@jerryadams6799]

plus the trilogy: Horrorteria, Captain Howdy and Street Justice. also King of the Fools.

[@user-no6wd4rz4z]

This was my 7th grade basketball teams song we go into a game with a plan and end up playing streetball it worked.

[@rickthestiks9240]

the price,,,,,great smooth one,,,

[@andrewmccormack4295]

What is this...?? LuLu and the hair,that's all she focuses on. Great music video and I love Mum,she's got a young heart jamming along to the music,very cool,love the channel,keep up the great work Ladies.

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks so much

[@bretcantwell4921]

Twisted Sister was a bridge between 70s glam and 80s hair. I first watched this video after returning to the U.S. after my family was assigned to Germany.

[@elreyvd]

You should really see Dee Snider running roughshod over the Senate hearings on the horrors of rock and roll especially explaining to them this video and dispelling a lot of myths about rock stars. Dee is a gem today, he's my own age. And this song is still an anthem... kzbin.info/www/bejne/iWG5qqVnid6fiqc

[@user-bh5jv8hi3b]

Fun Fact ! - In the late 70's Twisted Sister was a really Big but unsigned band that had such a big following in the NYC Tri-state area Club Scene , that they self promoted & headlined a Sold-Out show at NYC's Palladium Theater a 3,500 seat venue just on advertisements & word of mouth alone . They may not have been my cup of tea , but hats off to them for their relentless drive to make it , which they eventually did .

[@nathan.brazil780]

The lead singer, Dee Snider. is actually quite intelligent and well educated. He spoke before congress years ago when they considering legislation to censor music

[@erikmardiste]

This was ny 1st record back in late 70s

[@doblerjoshua]

Love watching you Donna get excited about a song, you got a funny little chair wiggle it's just awesome

[@Briansgate]

And to think, the lead singer actually went to congress to fight against censorship.

[@kekkomartin5848]

Fun Fact. This song was given a Parental Advisory sticker by the PMRC, despite not having any profanity, for it's non-conformist lyrics. Eat my shorts, Tipper Gore.

[@phildicks4721]

A few years ago when the band decided to tour again, they discussed wearing the old 80s costumes snd make-up. Dee said he told the band, " Fellas, there is good and bad news. The bad news is if we dress up, then we'll look like aging Drag Queens. The good news is that back in the 80s we looked like aging Drag Queens!"😁 So what they did, they picked out four or five shows in cities where the fans had always been great to them, and wore the old costumes during the show as a thank you to the fans.

[@stevebeauchamp3677]

Europe the final countdown!!!

[@bekindandrewind1422]

Daniel "Dee" Snider and the band are from my home.. Long Island, NY .. :)

[@user-yl9wz7uc3u]

[@davidpalahinjak8954]

BANGER! 🔥

[@karlsmith2570]

10:18 Her Lulu and Donna, since you've asked for more Twisted Sister, here's a female that I think you'll like: I Wanna Rock The Price Be Crool To Your Skool Hot Love You Can't Stop Rock'N'Roll Under The Blade The Leader Of The Pack They'd even released a Christmas album, titled "A Twisted Christmas," and one that I'd think you'd like from that album is "Heavy Metal Christmas"

[@wadehamlin]

Saw them in 85 in Nashville with Iron Maiden.

[@markwilliams6394]

I saw them on this tour with Ratt and Mama's Boys.

[@Ilikeryche]

I recommend "The Price"

[@d6678]

Dee Snider is one of the wisest people on the planet. He loves to represent music in front of congress.

[@kdm71291]

Yes, that is Dee Snyder's real hair.

[@markwarren7116]

Lulu has pretty hair!😍❤️

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

The guy at the Beginning is Bob Cobb, The Meastro, on "Seinfeld".

[@bintheredonethat]

Only had to wait until 5:48 for the Lulu hair thing. ;0)

[@christopherpetty3320]

this song and another one of their songs called "Under the Blade" were part of a congressional hearing about the increasingly subjective material being put into songs and music videos. these congressional hearings would later lead to the creation of the music rating system that is now used.

[@SissyBarks]

Yes that is his real hair

[@jeancastellain]

I love this song. Likeeeeeeee, byeee.

[@nightgoblin29]

Great classic 80's I'm a child again haha

[@ronaldnelson6692]

Dee Snider does a great version of this song with just a piano. The video is heart breaking. They also did a Christmas song mixing this song with O Come All Ye Faithful which surprisingly goes well together.

[@wowia]

Thank you for this 🥰 one of the bands what i did listen when growing up 😘 Love all 😍

[@stephenchamberlain8626]

Dee Snider is a super intelligent guy and yep, it's 100% his real hair and he still has it to this day. He's one of the rare ones, that still has his amazing voice and maintain his rockstar shape over the years.

[@derrickramsburg6084]

Dee Snider, the lead singer, did not cut his hair for over 3 years. It is his real hair.

[@thomasripley1548]

This is a nod to his role in Animal house as the bad guy needermier.........

[@Thedesertguy75]

Haha, the beginning is classic, kids would cry today. It would be considered abuse....lol. gawd im glad I grew up then.

[@Drahculia]

Before Twisted Sister 'sold out' or 'went commercial', they did some good stuff and some great stuff. Easily their best song was their original studio version of "I Am (I'm Me)", from 1983. It's lyrics are extremely encouraging, and self-affirming! Although TS didn't do a music video for that song, it would be amazing to see you ladies react to the studio track (maybe after doing a read-through of it's lyrics? Or, reacting to the song 'with lyrics' linked below!). Even better if you did a 'double reaction' of the studio track, followed by your reaction to their mime-to-the-record performance of it on "Top Of The Pops" (a UK music TV show. The song was a minor hit in the UK back in '83).

(Mimed-in-the-TV-Studio) Twisted Sister I'm Am I'm Me BBC Top of the Pops 7-4-1983 kzbin.info/www/bejne/boC2e3ecqrijbKM (Rather than perform live, acts would 'mime' to the record on TV shows, to promote the actual record, while sort of demonstrating what they performed like, 'live'. It was a common compromise back then. The UK charts were 'sales charts' of how many copies of records were sold. Unlike the 'radio airplay charts' in the USA.)

Never bought an album or saw them live. But they are great.

[@Ty_Ranus]

[@billc.5861]

If I remember correctly , but I might be off. Dee Snider had his hair insured by Loyd’s Of London at one point. Anyway they’re a good live band Dee Snider like Ted Nugent is quite bright & articulate and they don’t drink smoke or do drugs but act like complete crazy people on stage Big 80’s band for awhile

[@danielbenincasa770]

Saw them live here in Chicago

[@briansmith48]

You guys should check out Drumeo. There's this young girl who does a different rendition of the drums to this song. It's great. 😃👍

That's Dee Snider's real hair and congrats on your blu ribbons at the fair

[@KathyLuluandDonna]

Thanks

[@kirby1ist]

I have a small question. Have any of you seen the 2007 SpongeBob Squarepants movie. Dee helped write a different version of the first song we hear. I'm Gonna Rock. If you have not seen, I am sure that song is on KZbin. Be well ladies and keep on rockin'

[@kirby1ist]

I am seeing it right? Is that The Golden Girls on that pillow? Great reaction video.

Dee does A LOT for charities. He still has his motorcycle and goes on date nights with his wife Suzette. --- I'd suggest the video "Hot Love" as a watch...

[@JustinSydAust49]

This is a great song and it has one of those long video intro's but it is all part of the story. When you see the video you think that father is so mean and harsh and what is his problem anyway some of us had fathers or mothers like that a bit and some of us wanted to say the same thing to them. It is funny though and a great song, I love the part from 8:53 to 9:20 and you both looked like you loved the beat and donna was really moving well to it.! It is a classic fun song. Donna do you remember this great song/video? kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4DRioxvgtxlfMk was a great part in that video.!

[@Andyleobl]

The beginning reminds me of my childhood with an evil disgusing stepdad. I guess at that time it was maybe more normal growing up in something like that environment or it was normal to me as i havent known anything else. Scarred me to this day and now im 48. So please try if possible to think about how you talk and treat your children because that shit can follow your child and have serious impact on their life till the day we leave this place. I found my salvation few years back when i started to really getting to know Jesus Christ who is my saviour and has been with me ever since. But i wonder how many around the world who just couldnt turn their life around after something like that but anyway the video gets funny though and i dont want to be a downer🙂
