| Song |
"Stranglehold" is a single and the first track from Ted Nugent's self-titled 1975 album. The vocals are performed not by Nugent, but by Derek St. Holmes.
Cover versions
The song was covered by Oklahoma band Cross Canadian Ragweed as a hidden track on their 2004 album Soul Gravy. American metal band Tool is known to have covered this song while tour on their 1996 album Ænima.
Uses in the media
It has been featured in the films Dazed and Confused, Rock Star, Invincible, Superbad, and Bad News Bears as well as the television shows Supernatural, Entourage and House. It is also on the V-ROCK radio station in the video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. It is a playable track in Guitar Hero World Tour, and in the guitar career it is an encore played after defeating Nugent in a guitar battle. However, the version in World Tour censors the word "bitch" and "higher" whenever they were spoken, and the song is a different recording. Also, Pro Wrestler Kevin Von Erich used this song as his entrance music in World Class Championship Wrestling.
It is also featured over the end credits of the Entourage episode Sorry, Ari, as all Entourage episodes have a tradition of ending with a different song.
The song is played when kicker Mike Nugent of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers comes on to attempt a field goal.
It has been ranked 31st greatest guitar solo of all time by Guitar World.
It is also the intro music for the Detroit Tigers and the Chicago Blackhawks.
Stranglehold is featured in the movie Superbad, being played during a party.
On February 6th 2010 MMA fighter Randy Couture used the song as his walk-out music for his Main Event fight against fellow UFC Hall-of-Famer Mark Coleman at the Mandelay Bay Event Center at UFC 109. Couture won the fight in the second round with a rear-naked choke submission.
It is used as the music for the season two premiere episode of Supernatural, In My Time of Dying. It is played as the background music in the summary of the first season before the episode begins.
