    "Scream" is a song by Billy Idol from his 2005 studio album Devil's Playground.[1][2] It was first released as the album's lead single (in 2005 on Sanctuary Records).

    Background and writing[edit]

    The song was written by Billy Idol and Brian Tichy.[3]

    Appearances[edit]

    The song was used in an episode of Viva La Bam, in which Idol also guest starred, where he and Bam Margera sing it as they go down the highway.

    Critical response[edit]

    Billboard noted that Idol was not quite successful "aping Nirvana's soft verse/howling chorus" on the song.[1]
