I Love Rock N Roll

On every one of my playlists is the tune I Love Rock n Roll. There are many covers of this classic including The Arrows (Original artists), Britney Spears, and LadBaby. But the only version worth rocking to is Joan Jett and the Blackhawks version.

Joan first recorded the song in 1979 and set the standard for hard driving rock.

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
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til he was with me, yeah, me
And I could tell it wouldn't be long
'Til 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 and take your time and dance with me
Ow

He smiled, so I got up and asked for his name
"That don't matter", he said, "'cause it's all the same"
I said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And 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 and take your time and dance with me
Ow

Said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
Next we were movin' on
He was with me, yeah, me
And we'll be movin' on
And 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 and take your time and dance with me

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

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

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

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