I Love Rock N' Roll

(J. Hooker/A. Merrill)

I saw him dancin' there by the record machine
I knew he must a been about seventeen
The beat was goin' strong
Playin' my favorite song
An' I could tell it wouldn't be long
Till he was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

He smiled so I got up and' asked for his name
That don't matter, he said,
'Cause it's all the same

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An' next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me

Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

Said can I take you home where we can be alone

An we'll be movin' on
An' singin' that same old song
Yeah with me, singin'

I love rock n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox, baby
I love rock n' roll
So come an' take your time an' dance with me

One of THE great 3-chord rockers of all time.  Even if Joan Jett & the Blackhearts had never done ANY other tune, they'd be famous for this one....

I once did this song in a dance recital.  How hilarious it must have looked for the audience!!!

Joan Jett and the Blackhearts rock!  They came to Dayton a few years back (maybe it was more than just a few)... played a concert on the square downtown.   I missed it, but that would have been a great concert to see.

I haven't heard that in forever, and now it'll be stuck in my brain all day. Oh well, at least it's a good song. I'll scream it at the top of my lungs whilst vacuuming this morning.
