Asa here. I have to admit, I was really disappointed that I didn’t get to meet Dee Snider of Twisted Sister when he came to Maine last weekend. Because it was Dee who inspired me to become a rock star! The very first parody I ever wrote was to Twisted Sister’s paw pounding arena anthem, “I Wanna Rock!” Alright, I admit, I may have just misheard the words back then….but this still counts as my first parody!

I Want a Rock (February 26, 2016)

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 bark 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’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

I want a rock! ROCK!
