8 Famous Songs That Have The Absolute Dumbest Sequels

3. Gary Glitter - "Rock And Roll Part 2"

Known for being played at every sporting event since its release, thanks to that great echoey guitar hook and chants of "Hey!", Rock and Roll Part 2 is already a sequel to the much lesser-known original. But that version also has several "sequels"...which you also don't know about.

Confused? That's okay. The guy who wrote them probably was, too, because there is no reason to make 6 versions of a song that always has the actual lyrics clipped out of it when it's played in public and is replaced with that one guitar riff and a bunch of motivational shouting.

So calling these "sequels" might be a tad misleading, as each one is really just the slightest variation on the original melody and song structure. I'd call them remixes, but even that's an insult to producers who put out great remixes.

These are desperate attempts to cash in on a decades-old song that doesn't appear in the movies anymore. Hey, you know what? Let's all maybe try to send Gary Glitter a couple of bucks each. He's clearly in need of it.
