There are many rock and roll anthems like Johnny B Goode, We Will Rock You, Born to be Wild, etc. but I had no idea the Duane Eddy "polka" Rebel 'Rouser would be the basis for a tune with that title.

"The national anthem of rock'n'roll" come from a live 1961 performance recorded at the Rock and Roll Lounge in Montreal. Jack Scott was born Giovanni Scafone Jr. on January 28, 1936 in Windsor. Rock and roll-ballad singer/songwriter/guitarist. Jack moved to Hazel Park, Michigan, in 1946. He first recorded for ABC Paramount in 1957 and is responsible for what you are about to hear after the Duane Eddy recording.
