"Cum On Feel the Noize" is a rock song originally released by Slade in 1973. Written by Jim Lea and Noddy Holder and produced by Chas Chandler, "Cum On Feel the Noize" was Slade's fourth number-one single in the UK and their first to enter straight at number one. As a single from Slade, it was a follow-up to "Gudbuy T' Jane", a number-two hit in the UK.
The single's B-side "I'm Mee, I'm Now, and That's Orl" was voted no. 3 of the top three Slade B-sides in the Slade Fan Club Poll of 1979.
The song was also a 1983 hit for heavy metal band Quiet Riot.
"Cum On Feel the Noize" entered at the top slot in both the UK and Irish charts, which was quite a rare feat at the time and was the first occasion this had happened since The Beatles' "Get Back" in 1969. The song went on to spend four weeks at the top of the chart in March 1973.
Upon release, the single sold 500,000 copies in only three weeks of release. As a result, the pressing factories were completely out of stock for a few days.
In December 1983, a UK re-issue of the song was released via Polydor on 7" and 12" vinyl, due to the success of the Quiet Riot version. The single peaked at #98 for a total of two weeks in the UK. The 7" single was backed by the two 1972 Slade hits "Take Me Bak 'Ome" and "Gudbuy T'Jane", whilst the 12" vinyl version added Slade's 1971 hit "Coz I Luv You" to the three 7" vinyl tracks.
According to Noddy Holder's autobiography, the single had half a million pre-orders on the days leading up to the release. Typical of Slade's releases at the time, it fared less well in the USA, where it would only peak at #98 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song actually inspired New York rock band Kiss to write their popular signature rock anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite".
This was the first Slade track in which the band attempted to recreate and write about the atmosphere at their gigs. Originally, the song was titled "Cum On Hear the Noize"; Holder revised the title when he recalled, "how I had felt the sound of the crowd pounding in my chest", though other sources state that it was Jim Lea who suggested the change in words. Holder's "Baby baby baby" introduction was actually just a microphone test.
