Dear BuzzChic,

hi, there’s a song i’m trying to locate. i don’t know who recorded it, but it was kind of like a tribute to glam metal or something like that. the song mentioned the bands twisted sister, kiss, gnr and the crue i think. any help?

Dave

Hi Dave, we gotcha covered. The song is “American Hair Band,” a parody of Kid Rock’s “American Bad Ass” (both of which incorporate the instrumentals of Metallica’s “Sad But True”) by the band TUFF. It was released in 2001 on the compilation CD The History of Tuff. “American Hair Band” makes references to numerous U.S. bands such as Motley Crüe, Skid Row, Guns N’ Roses, Warrant, Twisted Sister, Poison and KISS and even the non-American bands Def Leppard, Sleeze Beeze, and AC/DC, while at the same time, deriding 1990s grunge and alternative rock.

Thanks for trying to Stump the BuzzChic! — BuzzChic
