Welcome to the Tuesday Forgotten 45 at 3:45! It on was this date 42 years ago that Michael Jackson’s hair caught on fire during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. And today’s choice might not set your hair on fire but you will “Bang Your Head (Metal Health)” from Quiet Riot.

The two hit wonder band broke through with their 3rd album “Metal Health” and project that delivered their biggest hit “Cum On Feel the Noize” a top 10 hit, and “Bang Your Head” went to #31 on the Hot 100. The album sold over 6 million copies and received heavy airplay on MTV.

Michael Jackson suffered second and third degree burns on his scalp during the filming of a Pepsi commercial. Jackson originally didn’t know his hair was on fire, fortunately the staff put out the flames and he was rushed to an area hospital.

Rockin’ out with today’s Forgotten 45 from 1984, it’s Quiet Riot with “Bang Your Head”!
