April Wine - I Like to Rock (SUPERSCALED TO HD) 🇨🇦

"I Like to Rock" is a song by Canadian rock band April Wine written by primary lead singer and songwriter Myles Goodwyn. The song appears on the band's eight studio album Harder...Faster (1979) as the second single.

The song was a moderate success when released in 1980, reaching #75 in Canada, #86 on the Billboard Hot 100, and #41 on the UK Singles Chart, their highest peak in the UK. It has gained substantial popularity internationally since the 1980s, becoming a mainstay of April Wine's setlist. The song is arguably the band's signature song, and has become a staple of classic rock and album-oriented rock radio stations in both the US and Canada.

The final verse of the song includes the main guitar riffs to the Beatles' "Day Tripper" and the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" played simultaneously, in homage to these bands.

The music video for "I Like to Rock" was directed by Brian Greenway, the band's main guitarist (who also directed the music videos for "Just Between You and Me" and "Enough Is Enough"), and features the band playing the song inside a recording studio located in the woods. The same location, Le Studio, would be used in the video for the song "Tom Sawyer" by fellow Canadian rock band Rush, in 1981.

CKKQ-FM "the Q" ranked the song #65 on their list of the "150 Best Canadian Songs of All Time" and Rock Klassics ranked it the 94th greatest Canadian rock song.

"I Like to Rock" was used in the films Flower & Garnet, Gutterballs, High Life, and Drive Angry, as well as S1 E6 of Being Erica titled "Something Wrong With...", as well as the 2010 comedy television special Kids in the Hall: Death Comes to Town. The song was also mentioned in an episode of Trailer Park Boys in which Ricky requests that Alex Lifeson perform the song.
