My husband and I have a bet ...He says that the Beastie Boys song "you have the right to fight..." is a knock off on a Twisted Sister song...I told him he was wrong ...so we made the bet. I can't seem to find anything on the subject so i thought i would ask you guys since you have such great answers!!

well you could look at it as "fight for your right" is a sort of "screw you" anthem....much like "we're not gonna take it"
other than that, i am not aware of any other knock offs or similarities that your husband may be speaking of

Im a big Beastie boys fan and I have never heard of that. Im not so much into Twisted Sister but you would think I would have heard something.

Tell your Husband that you are right.Twisted Sister sang the song first then the Beastie Boys,did a remake of the song.

The song was written by the Beastie Boys and Rick Rubin, their producer.

beastie boys sings you've gotta fight for your right to party
twisted sister sings we are not going to take it and also they sing i wanna rock
somewhat similar subjects, but i agree that it is NOT a knock off
