“Stay Hungry” by Twisted Sister

"Stay Hungry" is the title track of Twisted Sister's third studio album, which Atlantic put out on May 10, 1984, and it's Dee Snider's song, words and music. Snider sings lead with the whole band on backing vocals, Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda on guitars, Mark Mendoza on bass and A.J. Pero on drums. Tom Werman produced and shared the arranging credit with the band, and Geoff Workman recorded and mixed.

The sessions weren't all smiles: Werman brought in songs by the English metal band Saxon for the group to hear, and Snider took it as a hint that some of his songs should make way for Saxon covers. The album still became the band's biggest by a mile and their only platinum record, and in 2004 they re-cut all nine songs as Still Hungry.
