    Default Solved: Who sing this, please?

    The video has a young woman singing the song in a rather plain looking studio. In the chorus she sings something about 'prefering rock and roll'. At the end of the video she wakes up on a sofa between two people, and is obviously at an R&B party. She shakes her head and says, 'Wow! That was wierd.'

    I get the impression from what I saw of the video, that she is a closet rock and roll fan, but doesn't want to admit it to her R&B friends - hence her being at the party and dreaming of singing a rock and roll song.

    I have not seen the video you referenced but the following lyrics are a close fit to the meaning of the song you're looking for:

    "Rock N Roll" by Remi Nicole
    They said "you're not normal,
    why don't you sing R&B?"
    I say "I've got no rhythm and I got no blues,
    I'm as happy as can be"
    They said "how can you not
    Bop to hip hop?"
    I said "I most certainly do,
    Did you not see me dancing the other night
    Like the girls on Channel U?"

    Yeah
    I can wind down low
    Be like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's much too slow
    Because I prefer rock and roll
    I say, yeah
    I can wind down low
    Dance like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's a no-no
    'Cause I prefer rock and roll

    They say "why d'ya wear a shirt and tie?
    Now that's a bit bizarre"
    I said I like to look good when I go on stage
    Strumming my guitar
    I like to sing my songs about real life things
    Like good times and romance
    And I prefer to do it in my skinny jeans
    Than miniscule hot pants
    ('cause this baby got no back)

    Yeah
    I can wind down low
    Be like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's much too slow
    Because I prefer rock and roll
    I say, yeah
    I can wind down low
    Dance like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's a no-no
    'Cause I prefer rock and roll

    Why can't people just let me be?
    I'm only putting out what comes best to me
    Some people get their kicks from other things
    But I get mine from wood and strings

    Yeah
    I can wind down low
    Be like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's much too slow
    Because I prefer rock and roll
    I say, yeah
    I can wind down low
    Dance like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's a no-no
    'Cause I prefer rock and roll

    Yeah
    I can wind down low
    Be like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's much too slow
    Because I prefer rock and roll
    I say, yeah
    I can wind down low
    Dance like the girls in the videos
    But for me that's a no-no
    'Cause I prefer rock and roll

    Thanks very much, atmaster. I'm pretty sure you've found it. When I read the line 'be like the girls in the videos', I knew that this was the song.

    Thanks very much again.
