I did not realize until I went to grab Cum On Feel the Noise that Quiet Riot had indeed covered the song. Lo and behold, one of my favorite glam rock bands had it first. I give you Slade. If you are an 80's child like me, you probably better remember them for their trippy renfest song.

I will now apologize for flashbacks I just triggered.

Indeed, not only did they cover it, it's quite a faithful cover. And I seem to recall their lead singer haaaated having to cover it from Day 1, which naturally meant it's the song they're most famous for and have had to keep playing on the "state fairs and nostalgia festivals" tour well into their dotage, as is the standard curse of all hair-metal bands who don't die young. :)

(The title's a dead giveaway that it's originally a Slade song, though. I mean, this is the same band that gave us "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" and "Coz I Luv You".)

Trivia: The Overseer track that's the first fight scene song in An Avatar in New Avalon is called "Slayed" because the chorus is a sample from Slade's "We'll Bring the House Down" (which, weirdly, is not spelled "Weel Bring the Howse Down").

FiMFiction.net: we might accept blatant porn involving the cast of My Little Pony but as God is my witness we have standards.

I wonder if Bonnie and Air Supply went in on a fruit basket as thanks.
