Decent, but Slade did this better as well. Unlike "Mama..." though, I do find this remake tolerable.

Wanna hear a totally screwy remake of this, look for the Bran Van 3000 version

I hated this song when it was out in '83, but it's funny how time makes some of those despicable oldies seem enjoyable compared to today's (c)rap and hip-hop.

It's 1983 chart run on the R&R pop chart:
28-16-10-9-9-10-18-23-off
It sure hit a brick wall once it hit the top 10.

According to UMD, this song spent 7 weeks on Billboard's "Bubbling Under" chart before entering the Hot 100. I wonder if that's a record among songs that eventually hit the top 10.

Horrible. One of the worst songs of the 1980s. I actually read about the history of this song and that the band hated the original song (as their version is a cover) and wanted to sing as badly as possible, hoping that it wouldn't be a hit record for them. Turns out to be their only pop hit. However, I like Quiet Riot's 2nd best know track "Bang Your Head (Mental Health)" (one of the few 80s hair metal/glam rock songs that I enjoy).
