We’re back from long hiatus with one from the Sick Burns vault! Recorded in summer 2021, this episode features a dive into systems of power, their latent hypocrisy, and that feeling of adolescent elation that comes from giving the finger to both.
Twisted Sister released “We’re Not Gonna Take It” in 1984 and landed on the PMRC’s “Filthy Fifteen” list for the song’s violent lyrical content (eye roll.). This hard-rocking anti-authority anthem was based on a notable Christmas carol and has become the song of choice for anyone wanting to stick it to “the man” (including politicians who actually ARE “the man.”)
The video answers the question: What would happen if the menacing ROTC student Douglas C. Niedermeyer from the movie Animal House grew up and had a kid who wanted to rock? Actor Mark Metcalf is game to reprise his role and winds up getting pushed out a lot of windows.
