It’s official. My little brother is a teenager. Ever since Asa heard the classic rock anthem, “I Wanna Rock,” by Twisted Sister, he has been barking it at the top of his lungs. But once again he is a delinquent without a clue, because he misheard the lyrics and thinks the song is literally about eating rocks. The following is Asa’s interpretation of the song:
I want a rock! ROCK!
Drop it you say,
But all you ever say to me is time and time again you say No!
No! No! No!
Tell me not to play,
Well, all I got to say to when you tell me not to play I say No!
No! No! No!
So, if you ask me how I want to play
There’s only one thing I can say to you
I want a rock! ROCK!
There’s a feelin’ that
I get from eating rocks and there ain’t nothin’ in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go! Go!
Whenever one turns up
I get from eating rocks and there ain’t nothin’ in the world that makes me go!
Go! Go! Go!
Whenever one turns up
I’ve waited for so long so I could eat my favorite rock I won’t let it go!
Go! Go! Go!
When it’s like this I feel the urge shootin’ through me
There’s nothin’ else that I would rather do
When it’s like this I feel the urge shootin’ through me
There’s nothin’ else that I would rather do
I want a rock! ROCK!
If you would like to hear the original song as Dee Snider intended when he wrote it, we recommend you visit the official Twisted Sister website at twistedsister.com. And Mr. Snider, thank you for this great song, even if my brother does sing the lyrics wrong!
Shout out to Spike Metalman for Asa’s new look.
