I can't find a previous topic on this so if somebody made one, please direct me to it! Thank you! "We are young
Heartache to heartache we stand
No promises, no demands
Love is a battlefield"LinkWords of wisdom. That's deep. :'( Prominently featured in the box office smash "13 Going On 30"! :) |

Takes me back to the 6th grade. :) Me too, although that's not a good thing, since that was one of my worst years in school. The song is mediochre - definitely not the best song she's ever done. I myself prefer "Shadows Of The Night" from the year before. |

Fantastic song. It is a classic from the 80s and rightfully so.

I love it! It's one of few songs by her I like. And for me "Heartbreaker" and the chorus of "We Belong." |

Hehe at the sheer 80s-ness of the music video. :) I love it.

Great song... one of my favorite ballads and one of my favorite music videos. I'm not sure I'd classify it as a ballad (even a power ballad), but I like it too. :) |

This was Pat Benatar's only single to hit Billboard's Dance/Disco chart, peaking at #41. I wonder how many people in the clubs imitated the "dancing" from the video.  |

Another one of my favorite songs ever! Pat Benatar is my favorite artist after Lita Ford and I've loved pretty much everything she's done but this and "Invincible" are my favorites from her. And the video for this is only the BEST VIDEO EVER.

I have been playing this song so much since I began spinning her Ultimate Collection last summer and I still can't get enough.
Did you know this was the first video every to feature dialogue over the song? I hadn't realized how much of a music video visionary she was until I came across factoids about her videos when looking for the playlist of MTV's first day on air in the 80s. It's just a crime that "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" didn't get a video, considering how iconic that song is.

Good song. I liked the other new song from Live from Earth better - Lipstick Lies. Don't understand why that was never a single, they had a video, and We Belong (her next single didn't come out til a full year later)

My 2nd favorite song from Pat Benatar after "Shadows of the Night". Heard this occasionally on the AC/Hot AC stations as an 80s flashback (Lite FM 93.9, 100.3, and 101.9 the Mix all playing it at some point in my market). music video www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGVZOLV9SPo |
