"Long Live Rock" is a 1979 single by The Who, written by Pete Townshend and recorded in 1972. A different version of the song was performed by Billy Fury's character in the film That'll Be the Day (a film which featured Who drummer Keith Moon).

The original Who recording of the song was not released until the 1974 rarities album Odds & Sods. It was subsequently released as a single in 1979.[2]
