The idea of Criss Angel and Dee Snider collaborating on anything may repulse some people, but it's for a good cause. This time, anyway.

Unbeknownst to us, Criss has a cancer charity—Heal Every Life Possible, or HELP. And Dee pitched in to do just that, by recording a maudlin piano ballad version of Twisted Sister's best song, "We're Not Gonna Take It."

Since Dee is incapable of leaving the 1980s behind, the video for this new version of the song features him in white bondage pants singing in the middle of the desert, mixed in with footage of child cancer patients.
