Video News Story:
This song was written by Nicky Chsinn and Mike Chapman, who wrote many glam rock hits like this one.
They also wrote Sweet's "Blockbuster," Suzi Quatro's "Devil Gate Drive" and Tony Basil's "Mickey."
In 2000, this song was used in La Vie Ne Me Fait Pas Peur, a French movie about a group of girls who don't speak English - the only words they know are "Ballroom Blitz."
Quentin Tarantino was considering using this song in the ear scene in Reservoir Dogs but went with the Stealers Wheel's "Stuck In The Middle With You" instead.
Cassandra's (Tia Carrere's) band covered this in the movie Wayne's World. As Wayne says, "They wail".

My neighbors love this song, whenever I put it to play they start throwing stone at my window breaking the glass to hear better, tomorrow I will buy a sound amplifier to keep them satisfaction ...

One of the most underated British rock bands in the history of ever! Sweet were an essential part of my growing up and their B sides were legendary!
