Description: The original a-side version from 1975 by the band Arrows. Produced by Mickie Most and written by the band's Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker, this song was later covered by Joan Jett, Britney Spears, and many more. Lead vocals & bass guitar by Alan Merrill, guitar & backing vocals by Jake Hooker, and drums and backing vocals by Paul Varley. The Arrows released both an a-side version and a b-side version of this particular song. Having their own TV series, the band recorded many versions of their songs for performance on the show, in accordance with musician's union rules at the time. This clip aired on Granada/ITV in 1976, produced by Muriel Young and directed by Peter Walker. Clip trivia: The mystery man standing by the tree with the Arrows at the end of this clip is Monsieur Kamayatsu of the legendary Japanese band The Spiders. Cosmic oddity: Arrows singer Alan Merrill and Joan Jett are both left handed, but play their instruments right handed.
