Sister. We're Not Gonna Take Itas a song by American metal band Twist's
Sister from their album is their thirdstudio album, Right, Stay Hungry,

(00:47):
It's Right. The single reached numbertwenty one on the Billboard Hot one hundred

(01:10):

Oh the Greatest Songs of the eightiesare the greatest one hit Wonders of the
Greatest Songs of the eighties, numberforty seven. Forty seven. That's too
bad. That's you deserved. Itcracked the top fifty. Yeah, seriously
amazing. So guys, what's yourexperience with Twisted Sister? And it's one
of the few videos I remember watchingin the Philippines when I was a kid.

(01:32):
Man. Yeah, it wasn't That'swhy I guess I thought I wanted
to do it because I do havesome attachment memories to it. Trauma.
Yeah, it's fucking exactly because I'dalways feared the way they looked, but
it didn't match with the way theysounded and the way they acted and the
way they portrayed themselves in the video, you know. So I was like,
this kind of like a comedy kindof angle to it, but man,

(01:52):
they're scary looking they are. Butthis song, though, in particular,
I felt it as a kid,you know, I was like,
yeah, I want to rock outman, everybody. You know, I'm
not gonna take it from anybody,but yeah, it is one of the
songs that I could well seven yearold, I ain't gonna take shit,
No, I felt their power.I thought their power. Yeah, I

(02:13):
really sensed it. And he well, he did want the an anthem right
for the kids to nail upon it. They nailed it, They nailed it
perfectly. But yeah, for sure, Yeah, I think for me the
song, I liked the song,and then when I saw the video,
I was horrified for the video.I was so scared of it. I
didn't like the song anymore? Isit them? Lily? It's what do
you mean? What scared you?Was his sister? Oh, she was

(02:35):
his sister. And then also itwas kind of cringey to me, Like
I was like, oh, thisis like I don't know, it's weird
because the same at the same time, the video for a Hotford teacher came
out right Ben Halen, and Ifucking love Van Halen when I was a
kid. Well, also like Ilove David Lee Roth, you know,
because he also did like California Girls. Yeah, his videos were like were
funny and like, they weren't ascringey to me. I think. I

(03:00):
think the makeup it was like thescary kind of gross. It kind of
grossed me out. Yeah, andI just made me uncomfortable and I didn't
like it. And it was justweird because I mean I watched it all
the time when it was on MTV. I would change the channel and put
it back ready and then put itback when I knew it was over won
my eyeballs. The weird thing is, though, like I had the forty

(03:21):
five for this nice like I boughtthe forty five for it. My parents
bought it for me, so Ihad the forty five for it, and
then so I loved the song,but then the video turned me off,
and then I never listened to theforty five again. Are you saying that
they got a reaction out of you? Yeah, yeah, yeah, Yeah.
It's weird because they're on like DeeSchneider's on the I think he's on
the forty five. There's a pictureof him on there, and but the

(03:42):
video, I don't know why itgrossed me out. I think they looked
like old ladies, like old likethey've been smoking since birth kind of ladies.
I don't know. It was Thunderdome. I think it's safe to say
that there is a sense of fear. That was a fear, but there's
pulsive kind of reaction to seeing them, like with the makeup, the hair,

(04:03):
the constumery. It's like it's overthe top, but it's more than
over the top. It went overthe top and they went back under it
and again you know it's completely overthe top, like crazy because it's more
than any other They were like morethan the other bands, like more than
Kiss, way more than Kiss,more than Motley Crew, because they were

(04:23):
like everybody in the band was goingone hundred, you know, it was
just like the lead singers. Everybodywas in yeah. Yeah, so it
was kind of weird. And thenthey also, like Kiss, when they
take off their makeup, they're alsoscary, like they still a kind of
looked like bad guys from a horrormovie. They look like like they would
fight the Crow, you know,like they were like yeah, perfect,

(04:46):
like right, they were in theCrow universe and the Crow had to go
fight them and fire it up.Those guys. You know that we're dystopian,
Yeah, exactly, like eighty Popwas in the second Crow movie.
That's like he definitely fits in that. He definitely fits in that. They
were stemming from that weird seventies whateverglass, you know, but ultra glam

(05:10):
like just performance are you know,so everything came out of that it's crazy
too, because I would think thatthis song was like even more because I
remember it being everywhere when it cameout, it was a huge song.
Yeah, so only getting to numbertwelve and it was kind of yeah,
but I guess at that time,like, but that had some competition there.
Now, Yeah, there's a lotof four I mean, Michael Jackson,

(05:31):
Prince all the big big Yeah.Yeah, we're not talking about like
the British you know, older club, Yeah, the birsh New Wave as
well. Yeah, the rand Randsof the world sham wham, yeah,
yeah, are you out? Whatdo you well? My experiences with Twist
Sister was seeing I Want to Rockin the Phlopines as well, and it's

(05:54):
like it's funny because they basically justcopied and pasted the concepts of I Want
to Rock too. Well, Idon't know which one came first, like
between I'm on to Rock in thisone, I think it's this one first
and then I Want to Rock butI saw that one too, and then
and then watching the video games,like wait, this is like they just
did this video. Yeah, it'svery similar. Yeah, it's like the
same guy. Even I was shockedback time my memory didn't think of,

(06:14):
you know, the teacher was andthen seeing this like, oh it's the
same freaking guy in the sun hewas in the video too. Yeah,
so like and then I remember seeingTwist's sister in one of those you know,
music magazines, right D Snyder's picture, primarily because he's the guy that
they always talk about, and Iwas like, man, this guy's scary,
but he was horrifying. But Ithink that was the point. You
know, he's just shocking, youknow, this shocking like charismatic figure,

(06:39):
and and that's what kind of gotthere. You know, everyone's attention about
them, and you know, likeI wasn't as scared as you guys were,
just if you were like four yearsolder than us. That's that's true.
I watched my fill of like seventiesorror movies by violated. Yeah it
wasn't violent. Yeah, Like I'ma little more hardened. When when was
thriller Thriller four? I was scaredof thriller. Yeah, I was scared

(07:03):
of a lot of it. Iwas a scaredy cat eat the cat.
But yeah, like seeing I wantto rock and then this one to me,
like I like I want to rockmore? No, I like,
I want to rock more. Ithink I liked it. I want to
And then when this one came out, I was like, oh, I
can't watch it. I don't knowwhat it was. And you didn't mind
the song, but watching it withthe song, yeah, the video was
scared, Like I don't know whatit is. It just I had a

(07:25):
negative effect. I mean I hadto change it. It was a weird
thing too. It's like there's aweird time in like metal rock or hard
rock or whatever where it's like antiauthority. You know. Rodney Crue did
a very similar video like this aswell. It's like borderline comedy as well
against you know, a teacher too. It's like it's it's like you know
California or it's like funny, justfunny eighty like videos like you know,
I got Cydney Lapper. Of course, were there goonies or she bop or

(07:46):
what's the element of zanyness? Yeah, wackiness, you know, it's just
like yeah, like to me,it's like, yeah, it took the
edge off, you know, LikeI mean Bows came up with we'll talk
about massive, you know, andhow horrifying that video was. I was
scared that video was, But Idon't know, it's just it's a cultural
thing, I guess, and maybethe vision of director. You know,
we're gonna well, it's part forthe course. During that time, movies

(08:07):
that were coming out had a lotto do with you know, kind of
like the the craziness of you know, it's almost like excess, right,
you know, with not just actingover the topness of everything. And it's
also like anti authority. That wasa huge thing, and they in the
mid eighties and then all those moviesthat were at like Revenge of the Nerds,
this Academy and all those like Airplanewhere they were always like thumbing their

(08:28):
nose at you know, authority.Yeah, and stuff like that too,
Naked Gun later on and stuff.But like I think that's where they're also
pulling from, right, that kindof yeah, that whole what is it
movement, the National Lampoon kind ofthing, yeah, yeah, which was
huge, like an early Animal House, yeah, early eighties a lot like
all those people even like Porky's allthose like kind of rock people were really

(08:50):
into that stuff. You know,that was a huge in the late seventies.
But I wanted you guys, Idon't know if you guys caught the
documentary and I out did lu watchthat one? No, I didn't watch,
which it's just but so they covera lot of their early stuff,
which surprised they don't a lot.I didn't really know a lot about same
in particular, but I was surprisedthat like in their earlier years, like
in the mid seventies when they werejust barely coming up and D Standard had

(09:11):
joined the band, they would theywould have shtick like in their in their
performances, Like there was one particular, I think a series of shows where
they would have like a like adrinking game, singing the songs and people
would like throw up on stage,you know, like hanging them on.
And then they had another thing theywere running this kind of mantra of disco
sucks. And then when one showthat they played, like in the South

(09:33):
or something, they had like aVerry White effigy and they would like beat
it on stage and do all thiscrazy stuff to you, right, because
you know, it's about disco,so it's all about that kind of stuff.
And I guess one time, likean audience member came up to d.
Snyder and said, if you're burningan end word, you know stage,
you're okay with my book, andfrom then on you said them,

(09:54):
yeah, yeah, I can't dothis kind of stuff any more. Work.
They're like these like you know,like liberal New Yorkers that's not never
mind forget about all that, youknow. So so they started in these
weird scenes, right, And thefunny part is they were sober, but
yes, strange, they were sober. JJ French, who started the band
started Twisted Sister never drink or smoke, nor did the Snyder. Well,

(10:16):
they're they're like coming from one guythough, they're coming from the the Alice
Cooper school right in like stage anticand yeah, shows, they're very into
that kind of thing, like theywere like in the New York Dolls.
That's what kind of inspired Bowie andGlam And they wanted to be a glitter
band originally they all do Gary glittersnow, but yeah, that's there.

(10:39):
That's really where they come from.But they didn't really make it big until
these subsequent albums. And the thingwas like they were known for their you
know, their like awesome live shows, you know shows. They didn't even
have an album out, like afull album out, and and I guess
they survived on like playing interstitials forradio shows. Yeah, but they also
mentioned their their touring schedule, whichwas like five a week. They would

(11:00):
play all babies shows. Man,they hit the grind man, Yeah,
for years and years, so youknow, it's well deserved. What could
imagine like back then, these kindof bands were like a diamond dozen,
you know, so you had tostand out, You had to have a
crazy good lead singer, and thenall the people are all like really proficient
musicians even you know, so it'sjust like you have to grind it out
and hopefully you'll make it to they'reall you know, Sunset Strip and ended

(11:24):
up becoming you know, the nextVan Halend or you know, n or
something. You know. They're allamazing, like actual musicians, you know,
with their instruments. They're all likeclassically trained people, so they're really
good. But d Schnyder writes allthe songs. I noticed, he's the
sole credit for it in the beginning, but there was always that tension with
JJ French, who started the band, because it's like it's like that push

(11:45):
and pull, right, it's mine, but it's now you're in it and
people like to see you. Andthen he started to write his own songs.
Yeah, and his style is justsinging the song to you know,
the he would sing the guitar he'sdoing like Michael Jackson. Yes, what
he would just like kind of ardwhat it would sound like, and then
do it slowly, do it fasterand then and then they would build a
song from that. But yeah,it was pretty much designer after a while

(12:07):
when they got more popular. That'scrazy how people could do that, That's
wild. I heard, going offtopic a little bit. I heard like
some Michael Jackson demos where he doesthat. It's amaze. It's the full
song, dude, Like he literallywrote the song with vocals well, very
quickly. The now the Netflix documentaryof the what is it called the World?
The World? Yeah, exactly.Lylan Richie mentions the fact that that's

(12:30):
how he writes songs is through singingwhat do you call that? Like a
cappella conscious uh, And then hewould record and overlay to build a song,
and that that's his instrument is hisvoice. His voice is amazing.
Yeah, definitely not not my skill. It's not Reggie Watching yet, not

(12:52):
even close. But yeah, yeah, it's it's you know. And then
they signed onto a label and thenI guess basically like the label kind of
made him, you know, gavehim the sound, you know, like
you got to you gotta make thiskind of music. Talking about you know,
this third album for the State Hungryalbum. Of course, there's always
that conflict between your art and thenwhat the label wants. But they say
it is going to sell, right, Yeah, they didn't even want to

(13:13):
release this as a single, right, There always that argument. I do
admire on de Schneyder for just havingmultiple vocations as a voice actor for video
games or an actor in movies.He wrote and directed that Strange Land movie.
Yeah, that's right, huh.You know I remember like, oh,
that's the guy from to his sister, Like that's crazy. Do you
remember, isn't de Steiner also oneof the ones that was with like Luke

(13:37):
Skywalker from Two Live Crew to likego against Congress about censorship and music and
stuff like that, Frank Zappa,John Denver and him. But later on
when when they went after Two LiveCrew with the hip hop then he kind
of came in to help them outtoo. No I haven't heard this one,
No, yeah, because that wasthe whole thing too, And I
think that he had something to do. He came in with that too and
try to help them out with thatkind of stuff because with censorship, Yeah,

(14:00):
when that sparents here, it isyeah, okay, which is kind
of cool because like, you know, he was already he already did it,
and then he came into, youknow, help reinforce it, which
is pretty cool. You know.It seems like a pretty level headed guy.
I mean for a guy who's inthe rock scene. And the way
he looks and he doesn't he's sober. It's ye crazy stuff that's remarkable,
and he's in great shape, youknow, like even I mean like didn't

(14:22):
Eggy pop out his body or anything. Actually from that documentary, they actually
all look pretty good. They allstill look young, you know what I'm
saying. It's funny because the originalincarnation of the Twisted Sister with JJ French
and those are the guys that left. They're all like alcoholics, and He's
just like they couldn't handle it,you know. They just that either left
or they got fired and it wasjust too much. I think that was

(14:43):
like one of the big things witha lot of like those kind of like
on the verge eighties metal bands wherethey were trying to be drinking in Sunset
Strip and before they hit the SunsetStrip, you know, trying to live
with Motley gu lifestyle before they're actuallyMotley Crew. They were all like mostly
East Coast venues, like in NewYork, New Jersey. It is,
it is debauchery. Well that's thething too. When you're in band,

(15:05):
you're playing so many shows, likeyou're not doing anything during the daytime.
You're going to kind of work atnight, you know, as your band,
and then you have to bring yourselfdown to go to sleep, So
you get a drink or something likethat, you know, to try to
bring yourself down, and so youjust get into the cycle of waking up,
playing, drinking, going to sleep, waking up you know, yeah,
because you're amped up, you know, like you're performing, like you

(15:26):
need the energy boost. And thenafter that you're still on a high half
you're going for two and a halfthree hours. How do you come down,
right, alcohol, drugs, whatever. But they didn't do it.
Yeah, yeah, it actually theywere talking about too, where they would
play straight for two and a halfhours and like they had no clue,
they had no idea how they evengot that, Like, how come I
am so tired the next day.I'm like like, oh, we played

(15:46):
for two and a half hours straightlast night and a half play for two
and a half hour. Yeah.That their shows would be like that crazy
man, it's a cure show,right, because I told you they would
have those little shticks in the inthe middle of their shows. Yeah,
to get the audience like kind ofparticipation. And it was always successful and
that's why everybody kept coming back.It's like a circus show almost here.
Yeah. I like that as ad Snyder's girlfriend was like this fifteen year

(16:08):
old dad about that. You knowwho he's still I'm not saying I support
it, but it's just but whois still married? He's still married to
today? Oh wow? And youknow they've been together since like the seventies.
Yeah. But she designed a lotof their clothes. She did all
the clothing because she told them,you guys don't look very good. You
know, you don't look feminine,you look scary. You know, let

(16:30):
me work on your thing, youknow, Like she made it even horrified
and now they're not marrish. It'sso weird like that that whole like from
glam Era that came went into theeighties, because like you look at like
a lot of the British glamb bands, like I mean even David Bowie,
I mean he's a beautiful man,right, and then like Mark Bollen is
really pretty too, and then they'rewearing makeup and it kind of sacuates their

(16:53):
beauty. Right. But then youknow, if you're an ugly dude and
you're putting on makeup, it's justto situate your ugly scariness, you know,
it's really does it's yeah. Yeah, like Brian you know too,
he looks kind of like you're like, that's he looks alien, it looks
weird. I think he wanted tobe like mc mars mc mars. Yeah,
yeah, exactly, but well youknow what you're gonna do. They

(17:15):
can't certain expensive. Its way itworked. Whatever they did definitely work.
Man. Yeah, It's like ifyou got the talent, you know,
it can surpass the physical appearance andyou know, well, you know you
could just go to Buster Point ExtraRoute and bring what is it feeling hot
hot hot? Yeah? Yeah,well they did Love Love the New York

(17:36):
Dolls. Yeah, so that wasthere were a huge inspirations, like that's
why they want to do the makeup thing, but dolls and hoop the
hooful too. Yeah, yeah,And that's the thing that he was saying,
like, oh, you know,like well the exception boys like you
saw with New York dolls though,you know, and saying that they look
good, but they're horrible musicians.They're never gonna make it. I'm gonna,

(17:57):
you know, I want to belike them, but we're a good
musicians. That was his admission.That's funny. But okay, right,
got some pop quiz for us?Of course, Bryan's gonna get top quiz
in a moment. Okay, timewith something pop. He was ready,
but wow, try to think ofwhat the questions are gonna be. Aight,

Okay? Okay, all right,here we go. I'm starting off
with you. The Pancake Revolt ofVermont eighteen seventy four, maple syrup farmers

(22:22):
incited a riot against suppliers of maplesyrup making equipment such as SAP evaporators,
raising prices by limiting supply, drivingup demands. Sure or false? I
don't think that. Sure, I'msure that's a false. Very good No,
right, you got it right.All that's a good sounding one.
I like to How about this one, Louis Yeah, eighteen fifty five's the

(22:47):
Toronto Clown and Firefighter riot. Clownsfrom a visiting circus patronize a local tavern
for the brawl with local firemen dueto one of the firemen knocking a boss
clown's hat off his head. Trueor false? That sounds so crazy.
I love that you didn't put someextra things in it. I'm going to
say that's true. Sure, yeah, you're correct. God really didn't have

(23:07):
it. By the way, psclowns kicks a mass man, I could
see that. Yeah, firefighters,Yeah, they were treated the firefighters well.
Clowns had to be pretty buffed out. Do you have those stunts that
super weapon? They had like acidin their boot near I think they were
shooting at the firefighters. Joker,can't be joker. You know they act
doors opened and the dead lift.But these are eighteen fifty five fighters.
Okay. Also, clowns don't hurryanyone in the firefighters back then. So

the Drag Them Up and Revolution ofeighteen thirty five in Brazil, uprising in
the province of the Rio Grande ThoSool in eighteen thirty five due to political
and economic grievances. The war endedwith an agreement between the two sides known
as the Green Poncho Treaty of eighteenforty five. I love this size,

(23:53):
my favorite part. It sounds soreal. Ill, what could it be
with Ryan's this is right? Itis a beard right now with this ship?
This is it true? Or dowe tricky? You know? H
Yeah, I'm guessing here. Ithink it's true. You're right, Yeah,

(24:14):
job, I think you guys arefinding I like what like I got
to read up on that. That'sat MBR podcast. Let me have about
this one. Try this one outof the East Slavic Upheaval of sixteen twenty
two, a slave ship revolt offthe coast of the Caspian Sea in which
the enslaved Slabs committed mass suicide ratherthan submit to slavery to the Ottoman Empire.

(24:36):
Oh damn, it's hard. Thisis very deep. But I could
see Ryan, who's a part ofthe I guess Ryan, who's a part
of the filthy fifteen making this up. Everybody goels really harsh and he's like
Ryan's rejected novels. I'm gonna saythis is false. Stand because a good
yeah, but it is based ona true store. The Igbo Landing back

(24:57):
in the eighteen hundreds, say kindof story, but the United States.
Yeah, they committed mass suicide.That's the thing that I didn't think was
true. But that's true. Theyall committed suicide, have taken Wow,
that's a hardcore. Yeah, Igive some prompting listeners to maybe look it
up on their own. Right,he's some interesting stuff. How about this
one out? The Great Police Rideof eighteen fifty seven New York City appeared,

(25:18):
in which two opposing police forces simultaneouslyand forced law in the city,
coming to a head when police officersconfiscated criminals whom the other police force had
arrested. Sounds like gangs in NewYork, kis, I'd say that's true.
It is true. That price istrue. Actually, yeah, I
think the Rabbit something that was thename of the actual who they portrayed in

(25:38):
the movie. But this was separateto that. But yeah, but yeah,
because in the movie there's two firefightercompanies that come and they start fighting
each other to fight the fire Soit's probably kind of related to that story.
Clowns and there's no the clowns werethe clear that everybody. All right,
let me try this one out.The Dog tax Wore of eighteen ninety
eight in New Zealand between the crow, which is of course royalty right,

(26:00):
and the group of Northern Maworys whorefused to pay two six of a sterling
pound tax on each dog owned.I'm gonna say this is true because in
every single New Zealand movie I watched, there's always a ton of dogs in
them. I'll be watching a lotof techy Techo, you don't think they
want to pay those tas. Idon't think. Yeah, I wouldn't want
to pay those So I'm gonna sayit's true before I answer. By the

(26:21):
way, no dogs were harmed duringthe war. Yes, you're a correction.
That is true. It was abloodless war, but it did happen.
Okay, all right, must lovedogs. You guys are what six
or six? Now we missed thefirst one, all right, both missed
the person one. How you readyfor this one? This one is the
Taco Stand Rebellion of nineteen eighty fourT one in Mexico, Rowdy patrons rioted

(26:41):
outside a Little Spookies outdoor concert dueto taco stands and food vendors insufficient food
supply for patrons. That is nottrue. Sure, yeah, you're correct.
Little spookies, little spooky of thosebookies. That's right, those bookies,
bookies, booky. They didn't havethe a Saturday anymore, the booth
chairs and the three buzz and crazy. I'll settle for some treat us.

(27:06):
How about this one? Looing okay, the wolf schmid Wars in Bloody Boss
Took Russia nineteen oh eight. Villagerstook over the streets with pitchforks and farm
tools to fight Russian soldiers trying toconfiscate their prize vodka. I'm gonna say
that's false. God, damn it, you guys are killing me today.
That is actually false. The Russianvodka. Think is too much of a

(27:26):
cliche. This was based on theother potatoes or what with a pitchfork uprising?
It was actually based on something else. How about this one now?
The Leicester balloon riot in England eighteensixty four. A man spread a rumor
among the fifty thousand onlookers waiting tosee and ride the latest hot air balloon
created by Henry Coxwell, resulting inCoxwell being beaten in his balloon, torn
to pieces, torn to pieces,little tiny fifteen thousand people in Leicester.

(27:52):
I would say that's never happened,you wrong, really happened, beat them
up, torn to pieces. It'slike I had to cancel the the the
event, fifty thousand people. Damn. I finally got you, and see
if I can get you with thisone. This is the fecal upheaval of

(28:12):
eighteen eighty four. Grenoble, France. Townspeople were fed up with their local
sanitation department's lack of maintenance, attackingheadquarters by flinging hot bur lap sacks of
their own excrement, forcing the departmentto shut down and restructure their agency.
Dude, get shipped done nowadays?Right? Literally? The name sounds fake.

(28:33):
The eekal of people that it's aquiet riot. Yeah, exactly,
But I don't know that's when theyshould throw their shit in the street anyways.
But I'm gonna say that's true.I got you. I paid that
ship. Oh the name of speakingin the documentary the crowd got at evil.

(28:56):
Yeah in England too, all right, Jonathan, that's all I have.
That's a good one. Hey,good job guys, Peter. In
the end, though after he couldn'tfigure it out. Huhn't it was?
It was too much details? Isit true? Right? Did become John
Man. It was Freaks for awhile, Tricky frosted Freaks for usident.

(29:23):
Okay, so the music video rightfor We're not gonna take it. First
of all, let's give a shoutout to Marty Conner. Of course,
that dude is man. He's gothis IMDV is like insane, right right,
like Aerosmith, Ratzzy Top chucka counNo, he has a that's what
he is, until like recently whenhe started doing the Hard Knocks for HBO.
But like, yeah, that's reallydoc. Yeah it's kind of weird.

(29:45):
Like I was trying to see theeasy at least they do one movie,
but he's just all video video.Yeah. He he did a TV
though, right, a comedy specialTV Herman and Low's favorite Dane Cook,
I think car and he did allthese comedy specials. He's well accomplished for
sure. So he directed basically likeTwo Twist's sister video. It's just exactly

(30:07):
the same. Yeah, it's sameteam fucking template, you know, and
really quickly before we got in thevideo. The the house they use is
off of twentieth Street in the USCVillage, which is just around the cry.
I've been there because it's just aroundthe corner where I used to lay.
You guys have been to the houseI used to living. I live
between twenty first and twenty two andtwenty second, twenty second and twenty third
street. This is on twentieth Street. Wow, So we should just walk

(30:30):
past pass by it. So it'slike a place people visit nowadays, you
know, see like like you know, holes in the wall, twist his
sister's you know, popping out ofthe window of her body Mark on the
thing. But yeah, it's justright there man with this guy Orange dude.
The beautiful Sunset, La Sunset.But yeah, it starts out right
this kid just playing, you know, Mark playing his guitar in the ball
kid. The kid is the sonof the director, correct is yeah,

(30:53):
yeah, oh Nepple baby. Butthey got of course Mark mettcal who is
near Meyer the character and Animal house. But they got him for a thousand
dollars to fly to l A.And it helped it worked out because he
had a girlfriend who lived in LA. So it was like, yeah,
I'll do it. The Snyder pickshim up, they get together and then

(31:14):
and they instantly like became buddies,you know, So like that relationship kind
has like started from there. Andhe's doing work in this video, like
he's acting his ass off. Yeah, yeah, he's not phoning it in.
Yeah, he's playing the character thatd. Snyder loved so much from
The Animal House. That's pretty cool, Like it's just amazing, like these
the dad's all complaining that his room'sa mess, the rooms from freaking clean

(31:37):
he was making. He's making themess for him, you know. And
then it's like there's there's nothing disorderlyin there. He has certain orders the
Yale and Harvard for achiever to bepart of the video is when the brothers
downstairs eating cereal and he's laughing likescreaming of his older brother, classic,

(31:59):
I love that. Did you guysever get that talk done? Now?
What all the time? What thefuck are you doing? This room's a
man not that young, not thatyoung. I mean I would get like
clean your rooms like that, butnot that Like that was more high school
like when it's like what are yougonna do? Why don't you get a
job? Erdie? And yeah,okay, I got a good job.
I mean, never got anything thatconfrontational that the kid got in this video.

(32:22):
It's always been like yeah, youknow, like, don't just hang
out at home, you know,get a job too. And I'm like,
yeah, trying, it's hard.It's hard to get a chop.
This kid is like he's wanting torock, he said a little. He
still seems pretty young, right,he's probably like fourteen, I would imagine
thirteen fourteen and just kind of likeI'm in my room, just some rips,
practicing my mood, my my chops. But he gives him a lecture.

(32:44):
Right, he's already he was violatinghis kids room, man, like
knocking folks on the floor and thoseorderly books that you know, kid probably
probably OCD that kid, right,And it's totally triggered him, and you
know, and his voice changed,you like I want to raw. But
you know what's funny though, islike the rest of the family is having
like a like a dinner, likean early supper or something, right,

(33:06):
is it? I mean, isit a Saturday morning? Maybe? Yeah,
I think it's like a weekday weekend. Yeah, the family's down there.
He's like, why aren't you downthere with us? Right, That's
why I think prompted him to goup there, like, hey, you're
not being part of the family.You know, he's not the oldest I
would imagine. So you're up hereplaying guitar the whole time, right,
rather than video games or whatever uskids did during that time. Pissed him

(33:28):
off, his dad off, right. Yeah, but when he says I
want to rock, and he doesa little week strum and last it's so
bad, goes through the window.It's so violent that when it gets thrown,
when he threw himself out of thewindow, the force of that rocking
right lands on the lands on theground, lands on the lawn, you
know, any good thing. There'sno fence and get him bailed or anything.

(33:50):
Wife comes with weekly sprays him withthe imagine your significant other, the
father of your children, flies outof the window and that's the only move
you got right then, and yourson gets arrested for murder, and how
do you even defend that? Didn'tcourt? You know, like he's a
mine. He's gonna get tried asan adult or what didn't remind me of
the patent Oswald bit with the guitar. Everybody it's like, oh, fireworks

(34:19):
come out. Yeah, well trueto that bit where like the kid began
to spin around and he became hebecomes nine in the night be oh my
god, so so yeah, andthe dad comes back in the room,
right, and he comes back upupstairs to run him, but he counters

(34:40):
d Snyder his head drags him down. That's like, you think that's a
stuntman that he's dragging down there.There's stumpman on on the on the I
M. D. Because yeah,like, imagine getting dragged down by your
hair in your own house, inyour own house, and your own house
by your son, the monster sonwho was taking on the form of Snyder.
Snyders have cut him in the Yeah, then he transforms everybody else in

(35:02):
the family. He sinks to them, and then somehow the magic of rock
and Rome turns him into his bandmates. But there's only the mom and the
the sun. But then they splitoff into the multiples or yeah, there's
a bunch of kids all of asudden. Yeah, that's right. He
dad got busy, you know,you want to make you know, he
wants to have influential people who madesomething of their lives as children. And

(35:23):
as all of them started coming outthe swinging doors, right, Yeah,
they keep hitting Dad in the head, nearly knocks him out. He took
a lot of physical views. Forimagine, if it was Jim Carrey,
you pleaded dad, imagine too youngat that time, I know, but
I'm saying, like in a marmodern someone remade the video. Now,

(35:43):
yeah, it would be Jim Carrey. He's doing his physical comedy and because
this guy just I appreciated him beinga sport and all this, but oh,
man, like that's not well becausehe's more like that mean authoritarian.
Yeah, but where to go?You know, like the what is it
when Homer goes to college and he'salways the dean. It's like that's the

(36:07):
thing, right, He's like he'splaying the dean of the house. Right,
Yeah, you're stupid hood. Butit's so funny that like at that
time that's what everything was, right, It's like anti authoritarianism. But then
like the eighties is like super conservativeand like noed drugs and all these like
mom group things and all that kindof stuff like teens. Yeah, yeah,

(36:28):
exactly, all that stuff's happening.I mean, it's exactly like playing
to the hands of those people,you know exactly. It's like, oh
you know, no, you guysare going too crazy. We gotta we
gotta tone this down. But eightieswas fucking deboucherous, and it's like the
dirtiest filthiest period like of movies.It's like full front toe and everything.
And like now everybody's like, oh, it's so bad. I'm like,
it's not even like sexuality and moviesand it really anymore is kind of ironic,

(36:50):
right, Yeah, like how theywere very tame now yeah, compared
to back then it was so strict. But then you know it's like these
polar opposites. But then you seethat you're right, you see like full
frontal nudity all the like the indiemovies, yeah, comedy, the rom
coms, the sex romp comedies,right yeah, like Porky's like it's like
the nastiest. Yeah yeah, Imean there's a bunch of those, even
Revenge of the Nerds, Like thedude Last American Virgin. Yeah, he

(37:14):
like has sex with a girl andshe thinks it's his boyfriend cause she's wearing
a mask and racheer, you know, like exactly. Yeah, like the
things we just let slide and noteven think twice about, you know,
Like I mean, us kids wedon't know any better, but adults even
you know, adults made these moviesand they think it was okay, and
it's funny. There's no filthy fifteenof those. You know, you get
like a few, you know,like we're not going to take it,

(37:36):
and all of a sudden they're ona list. Right, it's like McCarthy
ism all over again for these we'renot gonna take it. There don't even
any cussingers. No cussing, Imean there's yeah, there's nothing in there
that's like, well, the reasonwas violence. Yeah, according to the
PRMC, is like the viol Butit's so funny if that was real,
that dude would beat the ship outof that little kid exactly right. Parents
probably were beating the ship out oftheir kids in the eighties, you know,

(37:59):
like pretty and they probably thought thatwas okay to yeah, yeah,
they still have the power. It'sfunny. Yeah. So basically this entire
video is just a bunch of hyjinksof the dad getting thrown out of the
windows, going through walls and mixedin with some some concert footage right right,
and the kid rocking out in theaudience. He's actually there, right,

(38:20):
he gets the drumstick. The bestpart is when the dad busts the
Homer and just throws himself behind thewall like a little bit, and then
he's just like you just eats himselfout of there. Well, I think
he didn't know where to go becausehe was trapped by the band. So
he's kind of like left right,left right, and he's like oh light,
he just bustes the Homer and thebushes right put through the walk,

(38:42):
but he gets blast instead of itgetting absorbed by the walls. Basically the
video ends and well, I mean, yeah, you got the wife consoling
him again with that weird ass.She's got his back, right, Yeah,
she's still there for her kids.There that skuy like it looked like
that David Bowie video. You know, some paint box box made appearance again,

(39:05):
you know, and just like Iwent wrong. Dad was trying to
scheme figure out a way to kindof get back. Oh yeah, ban
right, you know, like he'sin the tree, he's buzzing in his
Vietnam War like, you know,like a sneak attack, but never really
pens out for him. Right,he swings on the like in there like
a Tarzan, Like what was hegoing to do? Like drop kick them
or something? Then he wanted togo through the window to guess what,

(39:27):
slams right into the wall. Yeah, this is cartoonish, right, but
I think that's like it's like veryLooney Tunes, right, it's the exact
thing about it. It's like seventysam and and Bugs Bunny or elmre Flight.
It's it's so crazy that like theytook the video seriously that oh,
this is going to destroy children,you know, like it's like what like
the arms that you're talking about thegroup or the actual band the group like

(39:50):
they thought it was the video wasso bad it would stroy children. And
it's like very tame to like MerryMelody's cartoon. You know. It's kind
of like, well you're putting himin that list, but have you seen
the video. It's like hello,they're just kind of like, you know,
like yeah, they're having fun andhaving a good time, but still
saying a statement. You know,it's totally outrageous outrageousness, Yes, that's
what it is. Because if itwas like now, it would be like

(40:13):
a Christopher Nolan looking reality. Youknow, they would beat the crap out
of the dad. He'd be layingdead in a pull of blood. It
would be like super dark yeah,dark, it'd be like the Batman,
you know. I mean there's alot of violence now, Like I want
to do a video for the Weekend, the Falselone video. That video was
violent. I even felt uncomfortable bringingit up on the show at all because
it's too violent. Is that theone we watched before? Yeah, it

(40:36):
was like a first person view ofa bank robbery and then people got shot
in the head, and I'm like, that's freaking brutal. That should be
like, I mean, you know, if you really want to impose that
time. But then again, there'scensorship, but you know there's anymore.
It's the thing. Yeah, it'snot for public viewing, it's for it's
your choice, you know what Imean. The weird thing too, is
like back then, I mean evennow, MTV is like a paid station,

(40:58):
so it's not like it's not likea public thing, you know,
it's not it's not like it's cable. So like they're trying to censor this
thing that the families are already payingfor, knowing that it's coming into the
house. Like it's not like it'sa a thing that's just free on TV
that the kids could just see,you know, Like there is control over.
You could just not have it,you know, like if it titilates

(41:19):
them, they're like, no,you know, it's gonna tell you everyone,
and then it's gonna be bad.Like you know, remember when Elvis
is lower half of censored for TV. Yeah, but then like but they'll
show skin Imax all night, youknow, because the dads are cool with
that. You know. It's likeit's like, yes, oh no,
not for my kids, but forme, Yeah, sure a clock for
me, still problem exactly. Imean like freaking Motley Crue was like a

(41:43):
year later was doing girls Girls Girls. In that video, it takes place
in the strip club. That's true. You know, it's crazy to be
just the standards. I think youjust sing a lot because freaking Dee Snyder's
horrifying. He looks violent. Iguess it's part of it. Yeah,
And they probably thought that like,oh, this dumb band. They're probably
just a bunch of dummies, Likethey didn't think that d Snyder would actually
this is actually a smart Yeah.Yeah, you know, literally, you

(42:05):
bring up a good point because Inever really thought about that. They think
they assumed, they assumed they couldthey could pick up They're probably like drug
addicts. Yeah, rock and rolldudes with you know, like fulfilled with
fucking you know, like causing problemsto Bawdrey and yeah, you're right.
Yeah, they just thought that,oh these are just easy marks. We
could take him down. But thenliterally they know that he's going to connect
with Frank Zapple, who's probably oneof them. I mean he's a crazy

(42:27):
person, but he's a really intelligentyou know, and Alice Cooper, who's
a really intelligent guy too, youknow, so they're very they could speak
very well and stuff like that.You know, they just look crazy because
it's a stick they put on,you know exactly. It's performance and that's
what the and that's that's always that'sall they are really is performance, you
know, yeah, you know theydon't live that life. But it's it's
eighty judgment on it. It's eighties, like they had to pick on somebody,

(42:47):
and it's kind of like and inthat Filthy fifteen, I mean you
pick on Madona, I think CindyLapper. It's just like it's crazy,
like I mean, it's they justwant to pick on people, so you
want to be you want to getattention. And also the eighties that's like
the Reagan era conservatism, like allthat Jerry Fallwell stuff too, which was
like that's how they were making theirmoney. They would go on TV and

(43:10):
then talk about like, oh thisis these videos are ruined. The kids,
send me five hundred dollars because we'regoing to fight against it. And
then they would go buy fucking jetsand ship to prostitutes, right exactly.
Yeah time, So did you seethis video in your kids? Now?
I didn't see this video I sawon the rock. Oh oh yeah,
I actually saw this video in America. I was already like a teenager.

(43:32):
Okay, there's only a few videosI remember seeing. First of all,
Take on Me was huge in thePhilippines. The doves cry, When the
doves cry, Princes I was sopissed because it would be take on Me,
because like they would stop showing takeon Me and Prince I was during
that time. Yeah Prince uh andwhen it's like a slow motion yeah,
and you cant see Prince in thebathtub right exactly. A lot of the

(43:53):
Van Halen David Lee Roth I rememberseeing a lot of them. Jump was
played, yeah all the time.It's a great opera. And Macdonna of
course Jackson is the popular ones,but this one too, which is weird.
It's when stuck out, Yeah,Twist's Sister. I mean it was
popular because they were just like fuckinginteresting. Yeah, you know these night
like he'll grab your attention. Yeah. I can also imagine like third world

(44:15):
countries are like poor countries, likeyeah, you know, like against the
government and sh right, that's thething too, is era. It's like,
yeah, the good thing about Twist'sSister is they look very like wild
right, but their music is verytame, right, you know. It's
it's not like over sexual or anythinglike that. It's not like a Motley
Crue where they're you know, talkingabout debauchery and sor that, where Swister's

(44:35):
Sister is kind of more like itcould travel better than a lot of that
stuff. So I think they theyit is it is and it's just rock.
But then they look crazy to kindof like kiss, We're kiss.
They look crazy, but there theirsongs are like ballots and like boring,
you know, like but at leastTwister's Sister had a little bit more in
their music, you know, soit was more edgy and rock, so
I could see it traveling around theworld more than a lot of the other

(44:58):
kind of hair bands I remember asa kid, like come on Field the
Noise by Quiet, right, itwas everywhere this and that song sounds a
lot like this song too, Andapparently, like I just learned that they
actually took the structure of come onField and Noise for We're not going to
take it well. The standard wasa fan of Slade, which was the
original song, original song for comeOn Field Noise. Oh you ever hear

(45:20):
that version? That's the original versionfrom the seventies, and that song was
the cover, yeah cover, noidea. If you look at that,
if you listen to it, it'slike a lot of Mellower. But yeah,
you're right, that's he was afan of them, so like that's
he does the song. It kindof has that same structure, right,
Yeah. So it was hard rockthat was radio friendly enough for that time
because it's kind of a weird timewith the music because there's so many things

(45:43):
happening. You seventies is a crazytime, do you get the rap?
You know what I'm saying. There'sso many things happening, and it could
be a regional thing where like thenext city over is already like into like
rap, right, Like I say, like that New York and then you
can move on into Long Island andthey're like the twisted sister kind of stuff.
What's happening? And you go toManhattan, you probably got like the
New York Dolls, you know whatI mean. So it's like you got
disco still still happening, and there'slike soft rock and all that adult contemporary

(46:06):
still happening, all being one kindof neighborhood, you know, like in
one area, the pockets of electronicbands growing too. Well, yeah,
like a Granich village or something.People can afford them moves. Yeah,
what you got, you got,you got even like suicide happening, right,
Yeah, so you got the louReeds, you know, the Velvet
still going on. Yeah, yeah, you got a lot of it's influenced,

(46:27):
a crazy mix of music going on. Yeah. That was as called
a Petri dish of counterculture ruins.Well yeah, now it's line. It's
a line. Everything's on everything allSpotify it out or band camped out,
you know, and like hoping someonewould catch it so I can get half
a cent for you get a click. Yeah, it's like it's crazy,

(46:49):
just how I'm kind of evolved intosomething like that. All right, dum
and so we'll be back for somenotable YouTube comments. Okay, it's time
for the notable YouTube comments. Allright, gentlemen, I have a couple
for you guys. By the way, there's there's nothing. It's all the
same shing. Yeah, you're notgonna like, oh my daughter committed suicide

(47:13):
to this song. Some of ourother comments that are terrible. There were
a few of those not committing suicide, but like oh my dad rally I
was on with the other reces.So I'm sorry to go sarcastic on you
guys. But one month ago lolcringe said, whoa, that's a cool
YouTube name. I've been analyzing thelyrics very carefully, and if I'm not
mistaken, I believe the band wantsto rock in which the trip in two

(47:37):
thousand and eight, Resident Weisenheimer overhere says, I have to concur but
my research also points to the conclusionthat they're not gonna take it. They're
not gonna take it. That's all. It's nothing but that back and forth
and people kind of going, youknow, just playing with it. But
this one listen to the name JanColner from a year ago. She says,

(47:58):
I've seen this video hundreds of times. My son is the boy with
the guitar. Whoa, he's fiftytwo now, oh my god, I
still love it and him. Ofcourse that's a good one. That's kind
of coolest. She Actually, that'swholesome. How often does that happen?
And when they the comment I justremember what's his name? From White Town?
Who would comment on other people's comments? Oh yeah, it's rare that
the artists do that, right,Yeah, that's pretty cool. I mean

(48:21):
I'm sure you know the mom ispretty proud of this. Yeah, yeah,
I want to I want to keeptrack on like you know, no
one's talking about my son into thesnighter. I wanted to ask our resident
word All Yankovic found al have youever heard the parody? No, I
haven't. I know you've made aparody, but yeah, it's a real
big fish co that's right. Didyou ever say that it's based the Come

(48:45):
You Faithful the Christmas Standards? Yeah, they do a twenty eleven version of
it where the music is we're notgoing to take it, but the lyrics
are from call and it's perfect.It's pretty bad ass. Yeah. Yeah,
beside that footage of these night timeI was like wow, So like
he did, I had no idea, just internalized that and it became that
song. But do you know thathe co wrote a Christmas song for the

(49:08):
co wrote he wrote a song forSelene the Young for a Christmas song,
But Selen the Young didn't know thatD Snyder wrote it. It was him.
Yeah, wow, No, Ididn't know that. It was from
one of her mid nineties albums.She sang a Christmas song, but it
was D Snyder who wrote the song. It's We're not gonna take it.
We're not gonna give you a giftfor Christmas. Okay, guys, we're

(49:29):
not gonna take it. Would youtake it? Or would you throw it
back? All right? You guyshave okay? As for me, you
know, like I'm gonna throw thisback. I don't know if I just
ugrew it or just saw how badthe filmmaking is. And also even for
an eighties comedy, it just didn'tmake me laugh. I want to rock

(49:50):
though. It's funnier you think so, oh yeah, I mean the Butterfly
and the Dina in the in theDynamite. Yeah, that's awesome. This
one has none of that, youknow. It's just basically just the dad's
high jinks being thrown around, andit's like kind of feel bad for the
guy, but he is a jerk. He is are you? Are you?
Have you gotten old enough to nowfeel bad for the dad? No,
not even that. I still hatethe guy, But it's just that

(50:13):
the fact that it's a carbon copyof another music video or vice versa,
I can't. I can't appreciate that, you know, as far as like
if it was a different band,I don't know, it's just an indirect
sequel. If that was a plannedtrilogy that we never got to see the
third one, I have no itcan be a planned double duology, you

(50:34):
know. I don't know. It'sjust but the thing is that the comedy
didn't really hit with me, justthe ridiculousness of some of the editing,
the way that that just threw himselfout of the window, and you could
tell it's like pretty low budget,so technical side it gets a thumbs down,
and that overwhelmed me. I likethe song a lot, but you
know, I like the Snyder alot, you know, and and these

(50:54):
Snyder's giving his heart out on thisone. I'll give him that, but
just and and of course the youknow, the dad as well, but
everybody else kind of mailed it inand the direct his son, the son,
No, I don't want to hearfrom his mom a right, But
now I'm throwing this one, okay. As for me, like I said,

(51:15):
as a kid, I hated thisvideo. It was the date of
my existence. It scared me.I hated it. But no, as
a now I actually appreciate it.I think it's cool. I think it's
not for people our age. It'sfor probably like nine year old me.
You know, it would have beenlike fuck yeah. The thing that puts
it over the top to me,for me is the little brother laughing at
the big where we're gonna, yeah, that's pretty. That one second moment

(51:38):
makes the whole video for me becauseI'm like, that's the reality of this
video. He's like, yeah,beat his ass brother, you want Yeah,
you want your eight Like you're youalways feel bad for your siblings for
getting in trouble, but you're like, it's not me, you know,
like better him than I keep it. This is a good a good mark

(52:02):
in video making. At that time, it's it was yeah, you know
it's it's very low budget, that'swhat you know. It wasn't the big
budget videos of that time. Thereare a lot of bigger ones. But
no. But if you're if youhave me picked between this and Hot for
Teacher, I'm picking how for tThat's a beautiful looking video. That's awesome.
It has like crazy like act trackingshots and yeah, exactly, and

(52:22):
there's like a whole beginning. Imean, like I think at this time
too, there was a lot ofthose videos that would would start off before
the song would start off before likethat didn't happen, and haff Ford Teacher
has that whole like bus scene wherehe's in the bus and he's all scared
to get out of the bus andso hard to go to school. So
but I'm going to keep this onejust because it's I think it's a good
video for its time, like forwhat they're doing, what they're doing out

(52:46):
of all those hair metal bands,they're doing stuff. You know, they're
putting some comedy in it instead ofjust like taking so serious. Yeah,
all serious, imposing on stage andyou know, like so I'll keep it.
I'm gonna keep this one, allright, take your throwback and I'm
going to keep that throwback now.But you know it's not a technical marvel,
that's for sure. Oh yeah.But I always thought, you know,

(53:07):
especially like kind of learning a littlebit about them, like where they
came from, and you know,their goal was always just to wow the
audience, and I think this videoexemplifies wowing the audience. The moment the
teenager spaces in terms of the SnyderI gaunted, I'm like, oh my
god, it's so scary. Likethe animals. I'm done, man,

(53:30):
just burying me. I am dead. You know what's you know, what's
scary is that like these dudes arein the setting of like a normal house
in the middle of the I thinkthat's what freaks you out, because if
they're like in a club or ifthey're on stage, you know, scary.
But like, wait, this guy'slike in my room, like in

(53:50):
the daytime, Like what the fuck? Like you should be asleep or something,
you know, getting ready to rocklater. That's right, yelling at
the sun and the I can definitelyrelate. But I remember in the documentary,
d Snyder says this right, andI call it, and he says
our band was meant to overwhelm theaudience, not to just entertain but overwhelm.

(54:14):
And I think everything they do isthat it has to be over the
top, that they have to.If they don't do that, that's not
twisted, sister. I think eventhe other videos are kind of like that
too, where it's just they haveto. It's like they eat you inside,
you know, they're so I mean, I think I think the goal
was met with what they're doing.And this is a classic standard. Man,
my kids love this picture. Yeah, but it's also good fun song

(54:37):
though it's happened now, so likeyou're yelling at your your daughter or something
like that, you know. Andthen she spends around, the turns into
like Olivia Rodrigo. You're like,wait a minute, I'm going through that
right now to finish my daughters allup on that sidewifty down yea, and
the Katie Perry's and the Britney spearseven becomes like twenty twenty four Madonna.

(55:02):
She starts spinning around, turns intoblack ping and a big beat the crap
out the ry but yes, meganourage, oh but yeah yeah, so okay
to keeps one's throw back, yougo, Meve, I'm the contrary and
on this one. It works outthat way it happens. Sometimes it's a

(55:25):
torch to you, sir. Sofor me for the next one, what
I'm going to be picking. Wetalked about this a little bit earlier.
I want to ride on this documentaryswing and I think I'm going to do

what made me think of because Iwas like, holy shit, I started

across America and a bunch of otherweird things that happened in the eighties,
