Sexy lyrics (I love it when women come on to me!), simple chord progreesion (even my nephew can play it!) and an anthemic chorus (you gotta love those chorus' that are easy to remember when you're pissed out of your head and singing songs at a pub with the karoake machine on!) Joan Jett 4 life, niggerz!

Obviously, I hate that Britney Spears covered this song as well. But I absolutely love the original to this song. Joan Jett is one of my role models, and everytime I hear this song, I have to get up and dance. 1
