    I'm a 50 yr old black man, I remember hearing this on the radio all day damn near every 20 min. Couldn't help but feel the beat and the chorus. Pat was killin it back then. 💯

      I agree 💯!!! I remember hearing it on an R&B 📻 station when our mom moved us to Georgia from jersey from 82 to 84. I thought she was black till I saw the 🎶 video. I used to do the whole dance routine from the video in my mom's living room every time the 🎶 video came on. Great memories 👍🏽.

    I grew up in an abusive home. This song came out when I was a young teen. It truly got me thru some terrible times. I dressed like her, cut my hair like her, sang her songs nonstop. All her music seemed to be written just for me. Hell is for children was another favorite. I'm 51 now and she will always be my favorite. All my friends know if PAT comes on the radio to turn it up and stand back cause I'm about to belt it!

      Same! The first scene with her father reminds me of how bad my mother actually still is, with no contact, but I still don't understand as now a mother myself I would/ could never treat my kids this way they are my world. ❤

      @@jennifervillegas4442 I hate to hear you went thru something similar. I've been very fortunate to have a good relationship with my parents now. They got a divorce when I was 25 and that helped alot. Don't ever stay in a terrible marriage for the children. You could be damaging worse by remaining. I am 51 now and realize my dad was in an abusive home growing up himself and he was only doing his best. He's turned out to be a great man and a great dad. Angry and withdrawn? Yes but still a very good man.

    I will never forget the first time I heard this song, was on an R&B station in Georgia . I'm originally from New Jersey but our mom had moved us to Georgia from 1982 to 1984 and then we moved back to New Jersey. This song right here is everything to me and my childhood. I used to dance around my mom's living room to this song every time the music video came on . I knew the whole routine front to back😊 This is going to sound funny but at the time when I heard the song on the R&B radio station I thought she was black, man was I wrong when the music video came out. And I'm so glad I was wrong. Plus the icing on top of the cake was the same guy that choreographer the Beat It music video by Michael Jackson also choreographer this music video by Pat Benatar Love is a Battlefield. He even appears in the music video. Classic song, classic music, real music. And I am still to this day at 51 years old a Pat Benatar fan. Here's Food For Thought : Did you know that Pat Benatar had released a jazz album. And I still have it. I highly recommend Pat benatar's Jazz album it is a chef's kiss. I will always and forever be a Pat Benatar fan😊❤ #PatBenatar4life 😊❤by💯

He started the art of creation and the making of a music video by telling and showing a story . These music videos that are out now by some artists seem like there's no thought put into it.

    • @SunBeast66
      @SunBeast66 8 лет назад +4

      +Dwight “Denjin” Johnson The reason why people think older music is better is because nobody plays the crap 80s and 90s music. There's just as much good music nowadays, there just seems to be less of it because you hear all the bad and mediocre music at the same time.

    • @AllFlashNoDash
      @AllFlashNoDash 8 лет назад +7

    • @mrhoffame
      @mrhoffame 8 лет назад +1

      +Dwight “Denjin” Johnson I totally agree. The markets have changed so much and with all the new technology and how fast information gets out the music industry is more about the next poster and download they can sell you as oppose to any substance. I think the 80s was the perfect overlap.
      The 60s and 70s was mostly substance period! The 80s where where the mixture of substance, poppy fun, and sales/promotion came together. The Late 90s on it has become just about promotion and sales. They just need you to last at least 6 months, sell a few 100,000 downloads, posters, ring tones, etc..they on to the next one.
      One more thing to considers is the target market. This may sound mean, but when you look back at the 60s to the early 80s...the average 11 year old girl did not control the amount of $ spent as they do today. That crowd today controls how BILLIONS of dollars are spent...and I'm sorry to say, but if you are trying to find the next Bob Dyaln, Deep Purple, or Led Zepplin...you are not gonna get those 11 year old dollars lol. Now Justin Bieber, Talylor Swift (whom I do like lol), and One Direction...they get those dollars for you. Substance you will not find though.

    Pat Benatar was something entirely different in the music industry and was an icon. I think what made her stand out was this expression determination and resilience that seem to be at the very essence of her unique creative style. This video has a special place in my heart because it tells a story of finding strength and resilience when the world believes that it has succeeded in attempting to unjustly validate you with judgement and ultimatum. The dance moves are simple, powerful and displays the resilience to fight back against adversity and to find meaning in self again. I love Pat Benatar. Thank you for the memories.

    The power of her voice at :40 in hooked me back in the 80s and STILL sends tingles up my spine. I am a metalhead through and through and will always be, but all respect to Pat and her voice.

    When I was 8, there was a talent show at my school, and I remember watching this video over and over and over, lol
    Somehow, I eventually got the dance step down. So I made a dress similar to Pat's and I did this for my school talent show. I was surprised I got a standing ovation lol.
    I STILL know the dance step.

    Pat Benatar is awesome! Forty years on her music still makes me happy. I find myself singing along the lyrics and reminiscing about my high school days. In my opinion the music from that generation far surpasses anything that had come before or since.

      common psychological trap, every person bonds with the music that was pervasive when they were between 12 and 16. thats why each generation thinks 'the music when i was a teenager was the best there ever was.' youre welcome to enjoy it, but there is no 'best music'
