Music Video of the Day: We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister (1984, directed by Marty Callner)


The anthem for dissatisfied 80s kids everywhere, We’re Not Gonna Take It has been co-opted by so many products and campaigns and political candidates that it might be easier to try to keep track of who hasn’t used it at some point.  Dee Snider has always come out against anyone trying to claim the song’s message as their own.

The kid in the video is played by Dax Callner, the son of the video’s director.  The kid’s father is played by Mark Metcalf, best-known for playing Douglas C. Neidermeyer in National Lampoon’s Animal House.

Enjoy!
