"I Love Rock 'n' Roll" is a song by Britney Spears from her third studio album Britney. It was released as the fourth single internationally. The song was used in her 2002 movie Crossroads. Spears' character, Lucy, performs it in a karaoke bar. It's a cover of the Arrows' song of the same name.
Background
Spears said of the song, "They asked me to sing karaoke in the movie Crossroads and I've actually sung I Love Rock 'n' Roll in a lot of clubs that I've been to."Spears has publicly admitted the original song to be one of her favorites. Spears listened to the Arrows' original Mickie Most-produced version just before she recorded the song, according to her Jive A&R man Steve Lunt. The scratches performed on this song were performed by Corey Chase, at Hit Factory Miami. When promoting the single's release she infamously attributed the hit version of the song to Pat Benatar instead of Jett, although she claims this was a remark made in sarcasm rather than a mistake. The song is a pop rock and dance-pop song.
Lyrics
Hey, is this thing on?
I saw him dancing there by the record machine, ah
I knew he must have been about 17
The beat was going strong, playin' my favorite song
I could tell it wouldn't be long 'till he was with me
(Yeah me)
I could tell it wouldn't be long 'till he was with me
(Yeah me)
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
Owwwwwwwwwwww
He smiled so I got up and asked for his name
But that don't matter he said cuz it's all the same
He said can I take ya home, where we can be alone
And next we're moving on and he was with me
(Yeah me)
We were movin' on and singing that same old song
(Yeah me)
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
I love rock 'n' roll yeah
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock 'n' roll
So cam and take the time and dance with me
He said, "Can I take you home where we can be alone?"
And next we're movin' on and he was with me
(Yeah with me)
And we were movin' on and singing that same old song
(Yeah with me)
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
Singing I love rock 'n' roll
So put another dime in the jukebox baby
I love rock and roll
So come and take the time and dance with me
