ROCK QUEEN!| FIRST TIME HEARING Joan Jett - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap REACTION

[@librarylady13]

This song was released by Joan in 1990. Her hits were done in early-mid 80's. AC/DC released this song in 1976.

[@gaybarz]

Yes, it's an AC/DC cover. Comments above sounnd right. And, I've heard people question if there was some plastic surgery & botox before this video was shot. Also, when Joan left The Runaways, she became a solo artist and The Blackhearts is her band. That's why you always hear her name, but the band is always with her. It's been that way as far back as I can remember. Just like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.

[@Scott_P869]

Joan Jett did a decent cover but nowhere close to as good as the original AC/DC. You really need to react to that song and group

[@Islendingar]

It was written by Malcolm & Angus Young with Bon Scott and was on the album of the same name. Still a staple in their live set today ! Awesome track

[@Scott-gu7rz]

Yes Sir 100%

[@Zerbyte]

She was born in 1958, this cover she did was released in 1990. Not a teen, she just looks great.

[@eurofritz4617]

yeah, that made me chuckle as she is almost ten years older on from their reactions to Bad Reputation and I Love Rock n Roll :)

[@twenty3enigma]

Here she's about twice the age she'd been when she originally joined The Runaways.

[@xenialafleur]

I think it's that she had gotten away from her earlier biker/punk look by this point. It's amazing how a change of style can make you look much younger or older.

[@twenty3enigma]

@@xenialafleur True. Her look evolved over time. And she's shifted to a way more badass look over the past 20 years.

[@scapito]

She's also admitted to having filters and botox, which I'm sure helps her look younger.

[@StarGeezerTim]

As covers go, this one is done quite well. I'm still partial to the ACDC original, but wouldn't kick this off my playlist either.

[@sachaput]

Agree, Love the original, but Jett does a fantastic job on a cover.

[@diannaw3034]

Completely agree!!! Love Joan's version.. love Joan... but I am partial to the ACDC original as well!!!

[@sparky6086]

AC/DC got the idea from a cartoon, which they watched, while they were kids in Australia. The villain in the cartoon had business cards which had printed on them, "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" I don't remember the name of the cartoon, but it's funny, that the idea for such a hardcore Rock tune came from a cartoon.

[@s.mcpherson6354]

@@sachaput I love the original, but I also love the little adjustments inserted into the bass line in this version. Thanks to that, in some ways this kicks even more than the original. I've always felt she looks a little like Gina Gershon in this video.

[@greglegakis4177]

I would. Nobody beats Bon Scott. This version doesn't hold a candle to AC DC

[@theinkspot67]

This reaction really made me smile and think "Jay has no idea this is an AC/DC song, and Angus did the original demonic vocals of "Done Dirt Cheap"" So obviously now you have to listen to the original by the great AC/DC! Love you guys.

[@teresajarrell452]

YES!!👍😃❣️

[@jamessinacore6991]

🤣 the only thing that could have made this more ironic is if Jay was wearing his AC/DC hat. 🤣

[@rebeccawyse5562]

Bahaha...right?

[@stephenhooper3938]

Bon Scott sang the original.

[@barrycopas1671]

My first thought as well.

[@scapito]

Joan Jett is amazing at covering rock songs. The original is by ACDC.

[@PUNKinDRUBLIC72]

AC/DC did the original? No shit!

[@tommyb123]

If you haven’t you need to react to the original of Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap by AC/DC with Bon Scott singing.

[@elizabethfranco1284]

I believe that was the last one Bon Scott sang on

[@karlsmith2570]

[@elizabethmcmurray968]

Omg i didnt even know she covered this song! I love ACDC's original version. ❤️

[@erika_itsumi5141]

The Original is better the "done dirt cheap" sounds dry and staile in this version.

[@peterbooth793]

She started out when she was 16, ooh. Owned her own record label 🏷 at 20. Badass!!!

[@jeremiahrose4681]

You have to hear the original AC/DC version, Bon Scott was so amazing.....one of my favorite voices in rock, his charisma was oozing.

[@teresajarrell452]

YES!! 👍😃❣️

[@mikerichards67]

Awesome AC/DC cover. She is the only woman who can really do this song justice, just my opinion.

[@vicprovost2561]

Lzzy Hale covers both Joan and AC/DC and kills it either way.

[@mikerichards67]

I’ll check it out,because Ms.Hale can definitely belt out a song.

[@jimmayors2315]

If Heart or Pat Benatar covered it, they would have done it justice also.....

[@palmirasanchez]

Exactly

[@robertshields7192]

Joan jett was a awesome looking 32 year in 1990 when she covered the Iconic AC/ DC Song 🎵 👌

[@chrissmith7669]

She still looks good

[@sumonjamal1653]

Joan Jett did a pretty great covers album 'The hit list' (1990)... her cover of CCR's "Have you ever seen the rain?" is awesome 🤘🤘🔥🔥Joan was teen in the 70's when she was a member of The Runaways... this was in her solo career in 1990, she would have been about 30, which is still young.

[@TimedRevolver]

Think she was 32, if my math is right.

[@Shrykespeare]

Great cover. She also did a great cover of Tommy James' "Crimson and Clover". "Do Ya Wanna Touch Me" should also be on your list, and "Light of Day".

[@edwardforster8905]

Yes!!! All great suggestions ... I also suggested Crimson and Clover!

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

I HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THEY WATCH LIGHT OF DAY ON THE MOVIE REACTION CHANNEL!! I LOVE THAT MOVIE AND SONG!!!

[@TheZodiacz]

She also did a great cover of "I Love Rock N Roll."

[@leftcoaster67]

Joan does her own spin on songs. And it's great! She's amazing even now.

[@sumonjamal1653]

Yes, her band here is the Blackhearts... they have been since the early 80's. Besides this AC/DC cover, she paid tribute by covering artists she grew up idolizing - The Sex Pistols ('Pretty vacant')... Z Z Top ('Tush')... The Doors ('Love me two times')... Jimi Hendrix ('Up from the skies')... etc.

[@surlechapeau]

J/Amber, her "Do You Wanna Touch Me" and "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo" are next for you!! edit- This non-album track was released in Jan 1990, she was age 31 and with the Blackhearts. AC/DC cover.

[@paulb4604]

A CLASSIC AC/DC track, but like everything Joan does, she knocks it out of the park with this. And Amber is right, Joan IS the queen of rock!

[@allenwhitmer8192]

If she's the queen, what is Ann and Nancy Wilson, Janis Joplin, and Stevie Nick's? I love Joan, but there are more qualified to be the Queen

[@greglegakis4177]

Joan Jett is good but can't hold a candle to Pat Benatar, much less Ann Willson. Her range is limited, their's is not. Sorry, not the queen. IMO.

[@paulcwalina7910]

Yes! This was an awesome AC/DC cover that didn't get the recognition it deserved...and she never looked better, either.

[@loup4343]

This was a top 40 song on the Hot100. It had a lot of radio air play on rock radio stations. This was Joan's last top 40 hit.

[@chriso6719]

This is a cover. Check out the original by AC/DC with Bon Scott on vocals.

[@itsmedino]

Yeah it is sad Jay didn’t know that since he’s such an Angus Young fan.

[@chriso6719]

[@joanlajara3939]

Joan Jett is it!! Rock and roll! Her version of Crimson and Clover is great!

[@Denkar11]

I never knew she did a cover of this song. She does a great job, but really watch the original as well by AC/DC.

[@jamestate5059]

She did a whole covers album called THE HIT LIST. This album was released in 1990

[@RayfordRaySiegel]

Cool deal

[@talon7132]

Joan had a grocery list of songs she recommended her version of including this one. Actually you guys when Joan Jett and Lita Ford formed The Runaways the average age of the girls in the band was 15yrs old. So when you react to anything Joan Runaways is her as a kid. Please check out Runaways cover of an old Slade song that was also recorded by Quiet Riot called "Mama We're All Crayzee Now".

[@talon7132]

@Jonathan gerald Robinson I agree and I am in the States. I just know good music when I hear it

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

@@talon7132 She made a song for that, it's called "🎶 🎵 music 🎶"

[@lethiapage4767]

I didn't know JJ did this song. She kicked its butt though! Woooooo I also like her cover of crimson and clover...prefer it to tommy james actually.

[@svechappe6075]

Original version by early AC/DC when they were led by Bon Scott before he passed away and Brian Johnson took over as lead singer.

[@jaycarwile1522]

Dude...AWESOME reaction as always, but here's a few things you might want to know. First, she is WAY older than 18 in this video. She was actually 32 when she recorded this album in 1990. Also, Joan first started in a band called The Runaways in 1975 when she was 17 years old. Fun fact...that band also had a lady that you have reacted to previously named Lita Ford. Also--as several people have mentioned--this is a cover of an AC / DC song...and it's awesome...but you might want to check out the original version (with original AC/DC vocalist Bon Scott) as well.

[@spacepotato2277]

Never thought anyone could do a good cover of this, but she did it...

[@davewilliams9092]

This cover is good, Lizzy Hale does a good version, AC/DC with Brian Johnson is great but Bon Scott is still the best

[@keymack2477]

By now you are certainly aware from the commenters that this is an AC/DC song. When you get around to reacting to their original version of this iconic song you should also take a few minutes to react to their greatest song of double entendres in history - Big Balls!!!!! You will love it!!

[@teresajarrell452]

YES!! 👍😃❣️ 🤣😂🤣

[@benmason9755]

Joan's done SO MANY awesomje covers over the years, but this is definitely right up there. Her covers of Crimson & Clover, Love Hurts and Tush are really great too.

[@recoil53]

I've always loved this version. Ricky Byrd is one of the more underrated lead guitarists of his era.

This is actually an older Joan Jett, from 1990 when she was 32. She just takes really good care of herself and is really athletic. She still looks great today.

[@JStarStar00]

For this album particularly the record company wanted to give JJ a real glamor girl look. Really most of the rest of her career she has gone for a more punky/ leather look.

Yeah I was just gonna say... ummm J & Amber you do know this is an AC/DC cover right? That doesn't make it any less awesome though. The title cut from the first album i bought with my own money. I bought it on 8-track. (Yes I'm old) lol

She has done a lot of great covers over the years. From I Love Rock n' Roll by The Arrows, Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and The Shondells, Love Hurts by The Everly Brothers done in the vein of the great cover by Nazareth, Season of the Witch by Donovan and of course this AC/DC classic. For one of her originals, I recommend Little Liar.
