“I love rock n roll” is an Arrows song, covered very successfully in the USA by Joan Jett.
Please don’t mislead people that Joan Jett wrote “I love rock n roll,” she did not. It was written by Alan Merrill and Jake Hooker and is published by RAK Music Publishing Ltd. The original version was issued by the Arrows in 1975. Joan Jett covered their song years later.
Cool. Didn’t know that bit of trivia.
