It seemed like nearly everytime you turned on the Olympics to watch Michael Phelps break world records and win gold medals, the NBC cameras would somehow find his Mom nervously sitting in the stands.  Much was made about his Mom having to raise Phelps on her own after her husband ditched the marriage while Michael was still fairly young and before he turned into…oh i dont know…the most popular athlete in the world.  Well, after years of mystery, I think I found him.  None other than the lead singer from Twisted Sister, Dee Snider.

This look-alike is uncanny.  It’s so uncanny it has to be true.  So does this give us reason to believe that, as the band was formed, maybe Snider should have gone with “Twisted Swimmer?”  Or how about changing their hit song from “We’re not gonna take it” to “We are gonna break it.”  Okay, okay, enough with the Twisted Sister play on words.

Seriously though, is Dee Snider just Phelps wearing a blonde pony tail?  Phelps doing his war cry after winning a gold medal looks an awful lot like Snider doing the ultra-makeup kinda gay rock band of the 80’s scream.  Pretty unbelievable if you ask me.
