woah first to comment.

k firstly tihs song is really good, i like it, but i'm pretty sure its a cover. of an old Queen song. or atleast thats wat my parents said when they heard me playing it **im such a loser** lol!
but ya, iuno, thats wat i heard. from my parents...erm u know wat. im just gonna stop talking.

This song was by Sweet originaly. I wasn't aware that The Misfits did a cover of it.

Yes it was fdone by Sweet, not Queen. These lyrics are the form the sweet version. The Misfits version sounds old and creepier IMO. Why would they use the Mick,Steve, and Andy? You have to might have to download the song 17734G477Y because I can't find this on any of the CDs.

NOT A MISFITS SONG!!! WEN WERE THE MISFTS EVER CALLED STEVE, ADNY AND MICK. idiot, oh and apart form the fact it has no traces of the MISFITS except maybe on a lower lyrical level. And i dont think THE MISFITS ever covered this sing, i dont think it would be their style i mean its POST PUNK 80's shit, not hardcore horror punk!

huh.

funny, it's called a 'cover song'

heard of it, bumble fuck?

Don't ever fuck with lateralus, you sonofabitch.

Holy shit. I didn't post that. I'm gonna change my password, I think my brother got into it. Any way I kind of like the cover.

Are you ready, Steve? Aha.
Andy? Yeah! Mick? OK.
Alright, fellas, let's go!

Because when Sweet did this song that's what they said at the begginning. Their names. So it became part of the song. Like when Pink Floyd had those voices in the backrounds, that was part of the song.

Theres a version by the Long Tall Texans that i like a lot more than this one. The upright bass is way better and its more up-beat. But i like this one too :)

Ahaha, This Song Brings Back Memories, Of Drunk Parents Trying To Kill You && Your Besties With Plastic Forks,

Not a bad cover =D

TVMClown, read the track list on "Project 1950's" please. Ballroom Blitz is NOT listed as a track on that CD. I've never heard a misfits cover of this song and i highly doubt one exsists. if you have the song, however, feel free to prove me wrong and e-mail it to me x_rubysoho_x@hotmail.com thanks.

mmm this is odd, i wonder how it got on here, this is a song by The Sweet and not The Misfits.

spooky.

This song has been remade so many times....but is is origanally composed by "Sweet"... I like this version of it though...it basically explains itself

lol jews, the misfits would never let themselves scoop this low, on the subject of the misfits, i met jerry only on thursday...hes a funny guy

"The Ballroom Blitz" (on some releases abbreviated to "Ballroom Blitz") is a song written by Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman and originally recorded by the glam rock band Sweet. It was released as a single in 1973, where it reached number 1 in Australia and entered at number 2 in the UK singles chart but failed to go to number one. The song reached number 5 in the States and was one of that country's biggest hits of 1975. "The Ballroom Blitz" appeared on the U.S. version of The Sweet's 1974 album Desolation Boulevard. "The Ballroom Blitz" remains one of The Sweet's best-known songs and has been covered by a variety of artists. The song itself was written about the Grand Hall of the Palace Theatre in Kilmarnock, Scotland, after the band was forced off stage by a barrage of bottles. [1]
