The song reached No. 8 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, Jett's third single to reach the Top 10, but her first since "Crimson and Clover" in 1982 . The song spent six weeks longer on the charts than did the group's biggest hit, "I Love Rock' n' Roll" (which was on the chart for 20 weeks). </P> <P> Former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor played the guitar solo in the song . One of the backing vocalists featured on the Up Your Alley album was Louie Merlino, later the founder of the band Beggars & Thieves . Merlino did backing vocals on countless songs that were written or co-written by Desmond Child . When Las Vegas, Nevada - based band Sin City Sinners has Merlino singing with them, it is not uncommon for them to cover this song . </P>
