"We're Not Gonna Take It" is a song by the American band Twisted Sister from their album Stay Hungry. It was first released as a single (with "You Can't Stop Rock & Roll" as the B-side) on April 27, 1984. The Stay Hungry album was released two weeks later, on May 10, 1984. The single reached No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, making it Twisted Sister's only Top 40 single. The song was ranked No. 47 on 100 Greatest 80's Songs and No. 21 on VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80s.
"We're Not Gonna Take It" was written by vocalist Dee Snider. As influences for the song, he cites the glam rock band Slade and the Christmas carol, "O Come, All Ye Faithful".[2][3]

Music video[edit]
The song is notable for its popular music video directed by Marty Callner, with its emphasis on slapstick comedy. The video begins with a disobedient son (played by Marty's son, Dax Callner) playing Twisted Sister songs in his bedroom while the rest of the family is eating dinner. The father (played by Mark Metcalf) goes to the boy's bedroom and scolds his son for being interested only in his guitar and Twisted Sister music. At the last line of the father's rather overlong speech, he says "What do you want to do with your life?" To which the son replies "I Wanna Rock!" with a voice strikingly similar to that of director Marty Callner. The boy then transforms into Snider and the music begins. Snider sings to the other children, who turn into the rest of the band, and they wreak havoc on the family. The father gets the worst of the band's mischief. The end of the song pays tribute to Metcalf's character Douglas C. Niedermeyer from the 1978 film, Animal House (i.e. "Drop and give me 20", "You're all worthless and weak").
Ballad Version[edit]
In 20 Dee Snider gave magician Criss Angel the rights to use the song as an 'anthem' for this HELP (Heal Every Life Possible) charity. "Dee and I have known each other since the 1990s and he was a strong proponent of mine for years. We are both from Long Island, or as we like to think of it, 'Strong Island,' and his record publishing company gave me the rights to the song and it is our anthem for gratis." [4]. Snider appeared in a video of a stripped down acoustic version for the charity, recorded in the desert outside Las vegas and featuring children in hospital and a young woman shaving her head to symbolise fighting cancer.[5]
Notable cover versions[edit]
The song has been covered by various artists including German pop punk band Donots in 2002 (which became a minor hit in Germany, reaching 33 in the Singles Chart). This song was also covered by Powerman 5000 for their tribute album Copies, Clones, and Replicants.
Parodies[edit]
American singer "Weird Al" Yankovic included a short stylized version of the song in his "Hooked on Polkas" medley from Dare to Be Stupid.
American ska punk band Reel Big Fish used the melody to the song as part of their song "Everybody's Drunk" with lyrics altered to be: "We're all gonna get drunk! We're all gonna get drunk! Oh wait we're already drunk!"
In 1999, the US rock band Lit parodied the opening scene in their video for "Zip-Lock".
In a Primavera commercial in Spain, there was a parody named "Huevos con Aceite" with the lyrics: Huevos con aceite, oh no, ya no queremos, ahora con Primavera, desayunarán (Egss with oil, no. We don't want them. Now with Primavera butter, you'll take your breakfast). Twisted Sister has sung "Huevos con Aceite" when giving concerts in Spanish-speaking regions [6]
This song is used for a hotel chain called Extended StayAmerica as a TV commercial.
Spanish heavy metal band Gigatrón released a version of this song with different Spanish lyrics titled "Heavy hasta la muerte",[7] as a parody of being a true metal fan.
ApologetiX, a Christian Parody band, released the song "We're Not Going To Canaan" on their 2014 release "Loaded 45's"
Veritas Technologies uses the song in their 2016 commercials, as does Comcast for its Xfinity service, the parody song is called "You're Not Gonna Watch It". At the end of the Xfinity commercial, Snider is shown joking, "I used to like that song."
Legacy[edit]
The song was used in the commercials for the 2006 movie Charlotte's Web. VH-1's series True Spin explains the song as simply an anthem of teen rebellion, but Snider appeared saying that he was happy that long after he's gone, "any time that the team is down by two, or somebody had a bad day at the office, they're gonna stand up and sing We're Not Gonna Take It".
The song was part of the intro for progressive talk host Stephanie Miller until the 2008 election of Barack Obama, when it was replaced by "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves. The song was sung by the characters Mordecai & Rigby in the Regular Show episode "Karaoke Video". The song is the theme song of the American reality comedy television series Betty White's Off Their Rockers.
2012 Republican vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan's camp used the song in their campaign, until Snider asked Ryan not to play it anymore; Snider stated that he does not support Ryan and he planned on voting for Obama.[8][9]
In the summer of 2015, the song was adopted as the theme song for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign. The song is played after all his campaign appearances where it is known unofficially as the Trump fight song.[10] Newsweek reports Dee Snider of Twisted Sister gave Trump permission to use the song.[11] Snider later changed his mind saying that he had only allowed Trump to use the song because the two were friends, but then respectfully asked Trump to stop using it as he did not agree with many of Trump's stances. Snider did not want people to get the impression that he was endorsing Trump or his campaign.[12]
The song also appears in the episode 6 of season 5 of the TV series "Person of Interest", where it's sung by Harold Finch during a wedding. The song was used in two TV spots of the 2015 film, The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water. The song was also used in the teaser trailer of the 2016 film, Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life.

"Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off", often shortened to "Lying Is the Most Fun...", is a single by American rock band Panic! at the Disco, from the album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Released on August 7, 2006, it is the third commercially released single from that album and fourth overall ("The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage" was only released promotionally). The song impacted radio on October 17, 2006.[2]
The song's title was taken from a line of dialog in the 2004 film Closer (based on a 1997 play of the same name). The line, spoken by Natalie Portman's character, Alice, is, "Lying is the most fun a girl can have without taking her clothes off, but it's better if you do." "But It's Better If You Do", another song by Panic! at the Disco, was released as a single prior to "Lying is the Most Fun...".
In the United States, the song peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart, number 96 on the Pop 100, and number 4 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.[3]
The song also reached number 39 on the UK Singles Chart,[4] in the process becoming the longest un-bracketed title of a song to enter the UK Top 40. While it also reached number 26 on the ARIA Charts and number 33 in New Zealand.
The song was also featured on the Saints Row 2 soundtrack.

Music video[edit]
The music video was directed by Travis Kopach[5][6][7] and filmed on June 19, 2006 in Los Angeles, California.[5] The video was premiered on MTV2 on July 14, 2006.[citation needed] It features people with fish tanks on their heads.[5] The video only shows the band in one scene (the paramedics are the band members), because the band felt that their looks were distracting from their music.[5]
Panic! at the Disco has stated that the music video is simply a '50s period short film[6] and the man (Daniel Gomez) and woman (Molly D'Amour) are a couple, but not necessarily married.[6]
The music video includes a 15-second intro instead of starting the vocals right at the beginning.[citation needed]
The band explained on Steven's Untitled Rock Show that they chose Kopach for the video because they felt his treatment was the most unconventional of the ones they had been offered.[5][6]

Hilton Palacio del Rio
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Hilton Palacio Del Rio Hotel
The Hilton Palacio del Rio is a 500-room, 21-story hotel in San Antonio, Texas that opened in 1968. The hotel was constructed for the 1968 World's Fair, HemisFair '68 and was designed by Cerna & Garza Architects. The structure is notable for being a milestone in the use of Modular building construction techniques.
Traditional construction methods would not allow the hotel to be completed in the short timeframe available before for the opening of the fair on April 6, 1968, so alternative methods were explored. H.B. Zachry Company utilized traditional construction to build the first 4 floors, slip form construction for the services/elevator core of the building and all guest rooms of the hotel were constructed as modular units in a location 8 miles from the construction site. Modular units were built complete with plumbing fixtures, lighting, art work, furnishings and even ash trays. In a nationally televised event, H.B. Zachry and his wife Molly were the first people to check into and "ride" their hotel room, Room No. 522, into the hotel. All rooms were placed in 46 days and the structure was completed in a record 202 working days The hotel opened 5 days early on April 1, 1968.
