This is a remake of a version done by Joan Jett’s former band, The Runaways (that also featured 80’s rocker Lita Ford on guitar). The original lead singer, Cherie Curry, out of embarrassment, initially refused to sing the lyrics, “have ya, grab ya, ‘til you’re sore”, but the male co-writer of the song and the group’s manager, Kim Fowler, convinced her that the all-girl group needed to show young male fans that the girls were just as gritty as any of the male punk bands out there. This is documented in the movie about them called, The Runaways.
