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. The video was made in three locations. The park is Berkeley Square, London England, W1, the street scenes are on Charles Street, same area. The performance was filmedon Quay Street in Manchester England, at the Granada/ITV studios.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.More trivia- Joan Jett was initially introduced to her manager Kenny Laguna by a tv producer named Alan Sacks. Arrows singer Alan Merrill's legal birth name is Allan Sachs, same pronounciation. A little eerie, don't you think?

The translation from Polish, from what I can make out, is "Damn (or another expletive) this song was done by guys!"

This is the original version and I like it better than Joan Jett's. This one's got the magic that inspired Jett to do it :)
