    A gritty tribute

    "I Wanna Be Your Dog" is Joan Jett and the Blackhearts' cover of the 1969 garage rock song by The Stooges. While the intro almost echoes what Jimi Hendrix-arguably the greatest guitarist in history-was doing with the guitar at the time, both musically and visually, the rest of the track is a strong example of proto-punk. It likely played a role in inspiring Joan Jett's early interest in punk rock during the formative years of her career. The song carries a heavy, gritty tone that dominates the mood throughout. The music video is a montage of live performance footage, interviews with Jett, and various candid clips from other moments.
