<P> "Old Time Rock and Roll" is a song written by George Jackson and Thomas E. Jones III, and recorded by Bob Seger on his 1978 album Stranger in Town . It was also released as a single in 1979 . It is a sentimentalized look back at the music of the original rock' n' roll era . The song gained substantial popularity after being featured in the 1983 film Risky Business . It has since become a standard in popular music and was ranked number two on the Amusement & Music Operators Association's survey of the Top 40 Jukebox Singles of All Time in 1996 . It was also listed as one of the Songs of the Century in 2001 and ranked #100 in AFI's 100 Years...100 Songs poll in 2004 of the top songs in American cinema . The song was recorded at the Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Sheffield, Alabama and Sound Suite Studios in Detroit, Michigan . </P> <P> The Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, who often backed Seger in his studio recordings, sent Seger a demo of the song during the recording of Stranger in Town . He said in 2006 (and also on the "Stranger in Town" episode of the US radio show In the Studio with Redbeard a few years earlier): </P> <P> All I kept from the original was: "Old time rock and roll, that kind of music just soothes the soul, I reminisce about the days of old with that old time rock and roll". I rewrote the verses and I never took credit . That was the dumbest thing I ever did . And Tom Jones (Thomas E. Jones) and George Jackson know it, too . But I just wanted to finish the record (Stranger in Town). I rewrote every verse you hear except for the choruses . I didn't ask for credit . My manager said: "You should ask for a third of the credit ." And I said: "Nah . Nobody's gonna like it ." I'm not credited on it so I couldn't control the copyright either . Meanwhile it got into a Hardee's commercial because I couldn't control it . Oh my God, it was awful!" </P> <P> However, George Stephenson of Malaco Records claimed: </P>
