"Cum On Feel the Noize" is a song by the English rock band Slade which was released in 1973 as a non-album single.

It was written by lead vocalist Noddy Holder and bassist Jim Lea, and it was produced by Chas Chandler.

[8] In 1983, the American heavy metal band Quiet Riot recorded their own version of the song, which was a million-selling hit single in the United States, reaching No.

British group Oasis covered the song which was released as a B-side on their 1996 hit single "Don't Look Back in Anger" and regularly played it live.

[11][12] With "Cum On Feel the Noize", the band's manager Chas Chandler and Polydor's head John Fruin had devised a strategy to get the single to number one on the first week of release.

[10] In a 1984 interview with Record Mirror, Lea spoke of "Mama Weer All Crazee Now" and "Cum On Feel the Noize": "I was at a Chuck Berry gig in '72 and everybody was singing his tunes.

In a 1986 fan club interview, guitarist Dave Hill said: "The song was based around audiences and things that were happening to us.

"[18] "Cum On Feel the Noize" was released as a 7" single by Polydor Records in the UK, Ireland, across Europe, Scandinavia, Yugoslavia, America, Israel, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Singapore, Japan and Lebanon.

Perhaps there's a more obvious melody, but Slade always include a bit of a tune anyway and therein lies their success, and there's a soccer sing-a-long chorus that'll grab you.

[15] In a retrospective review of Sladest, Paul Tinelli of AllMusic included the song as one of the band's "finest moments" and described it as an "arena rocker that would get kids up off their seats".

The song's success drew huge nationwide attention to the 1980s Los Angeles metal scene and also helped to break Slade belatedly in the US in 1984, after signing a deal with CBS.

After all; "Cum On Feel the Noize" is now ten years old, so it's obviously stood the test of time rather well!

But, not even seeing what a band like Quiet Riot have done so successfully with modern studio technology on an old Slade tune has persuaded us it's worth doing.

We're not into prostituting our own heritage.Speaking to Record Mirror in 1983, Lea stated: "Quiet Riot phoned us up and asked if they could use the song.

In a Ludwig drums interview, Quiet Riot's drummer Frankie Banali said: "I think [Slade] were a little bitter about our success with their song.

Any real success in the US always seemed to elude Slade, so Quiet Riot having a major hit with "Cum On Feel the Noize" was bittersweet for them.

When Quiet Riot played the Hammersmith Odeon in London in 1983, we offered them an invitation complete with a limo service to attend the show, but they never responded.

At the end, the boy wakes up, realizing it was all a dream, and everything is back to normal, including the size of his stereo system.
