Originals Week: Who Loves Rock N’ Roll?

4 Comments

Remember in 2002 when Britney Spears covered “I Love Rock N’ Roll” and everyone peed their pants screaming, “That’s Joan Jett’s song! She did it so much better!” That’s exactly why I did this Originals Week. Well, that and this final song.

The year is 1975 and the pop-rock trio The Arrows are riding high having just signed a contract to have their own weekly television show broadcast all across the United Kingdom. Little did they know that the show would stunt their musical recordings (actually stop) and lead the group to breaking up, but I’m getting off the point. They’re riding high with their new contract and having two top hits in the UK as anyone would be. Shortly afterwards, the band planned to release their fifth single “Broken Down Heart.” On that single, the band put a rockin’ anthem designed to tell everyone just how much they love their lifestyle and profession as a B-Side. Well, it didn’t take them long to fix the error and before long, radios in the UK were playing a song about putting money in a jukebox & listening to good music.
