“In the midnight hour, she cried / ‘More, more, more’ / With a rebel yell, she cried, ‘More, more, more,’ wow! / In the midnight hour, babe, ‘More, more, more’ / With a rebel yell / ‘More, more, more’ / ‘More, more, more,’” he sang, as Underwood danced from side to side.
The Song
Released on January 12, 1984, and written by Idol and Stevens, “Rebel Yell” is featured on the second studio album of the same name. Surprisingly, the song never hit No. 1, peaking instead at No. 46 on the Billboard Hot 100 while landing in the Top 10 on the Mainstream Rock chart. Even without a chart-topping run, fans later voted it one of the “Best Hard Rock Songs of All Time” on VH1 in 2009.

I got the incredible chance tonight to sing with THE Billy Idol and Steve Stevens as part of our Rock & Roll Hall of Fame night on American Idol.
