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!
sorry to hear ...a home should be a safe space. Especially for the children. It's awesome your friends know the 'know. Stand back peeps. This is my song. was the first song that spoke to me during a breakup. I'm a drummer. And love jamming this track. Thanks for sharing. I'm glad you had her, her influence, the way you drew inspiration from similar situations. kool
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 Angry and withdrawn?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'm 55 years old and I graduated in 1988. When I started High School in 1983,MTv, was being put on the air around that time. Pat Benatar rocked MTV with all her videos and her music was playing loud and proud in the jukebox of our cafeteria in high school.Tim.
Im 63 years young and this in one of my favorite videos. I love how all of the young ladys stand up for themselves against the owner who is not treating them right.

May she Rock to this in heaven 🤍...I just lost my hubby of 15 yrs 💙,,my kids are devastated ❤️🩹 I feel Ur pain....music memories, good times listen n kno she's with u in Ur heart 💜
The 80s were amazing, the music, the style (well, not all of it 😁), no social media trash, no Kardashians... I'm 56, graduated in 86, joined the Army within months of leaving HS... I miss those days so much!! We live in a toxic society now. Sad!! At least we have the 80s music, though!!
@@johnfleming6236Auto tune was invented in 1997, so, in the 80's it was never use, that's why 80's still the best, a nostalgic decade that everybody still remember and miss until this days.
Dedicating this moment to Travis Wesley Edmiston of Spring Valley CA, I met on Cinco de Mayo 1983. He loved and idolized Pat Benatar. I miss you boo! RIP
*if you are comparing this to pop music of today, then you are right. There are alot of amazing songs and albums of today, you are just too lazy to look for those, since you are only exposed to "pop" music as if it is the only music in the world.
This lady is by far one of the greatest rock stars of the 1980s! I’m a black guy and I can listen to her all day & nite and twice on Sundays! Pat is the s*#t!!
Yup!!! A very transitional decade, I didn't even understand it as I grew up in it. I weep as we now regress before it humanity wise. This was before Queen(Freddy) even came out. Shit man, it was the Cosby decade! America loved black people. Oh, what 100 years from now people will think of us(2017), when the 80's had it so clear with all it's heavy make-up, big hair, neon glory, but people were people and live and let live was a common theme.
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.
Damn I wish I was born in 1975 so I could enjoy the 80's and 90's music, great tv shows and movies and have some real fun and good time. But noooooo I got to be 23 now and living in this fuck up time. Hands up don't shoot! Good bless all.
Surely there can't be many better openings to a song than the "whoa whoa whoa we are STRONG"....! the passion in it hits you like a bus....what a legend Pat is
So good. Feminist anthem way before its time. Live it, learn it. This was something else. Outstanding, as she always was. And her ensemble here was titanic, including the males made to look bad. Just a great video of a great song.
We are young (Heartache to heartache) Heartache to heartache (We stand) We stand No promises (No demands) No demands (Love is a battlefield) Love is a battlefield Whoa We are strong No one can tell us we're wrong Searching our hearts for so long Both of us knowing Love is a battlefield You're making me go Then making me stay Why do you hurt me so bad? It would help me to know Do I stand in your way Or am I the best thing you've had? Believe me, believe me I can't tell you why But I'm trapped by your love And I'm chained to your side We are young Heartache to heartache We stand No promises No demands Love is a battlefield We are strong No one can tell us we're wrong Searching our hearts for so long Both of us knowing Love is a battlefield When I'm losing control Will you turn me away Or touch me deep inside? And when all this gets old Will it still feel the same There's no way this will die But if we get much closer I could lose control And if your heart surrenders You'll need me to hold We are young Heartache to heartache We stand No promises No demands Love is a battlefield We are strong No one can tell us we're wrong Searching our hearts for so long Both of us knowing Love is a battlefield
Hahaha... John. That can't be. " We are young" and so as you. Now you got ur walking stick with you. Guess one day, I will be in your shoes and doing in the same way as you did.:) At least we were young......................... Hahaha..Take good care of yourself and knee.......................STF....................................
@@scout27xx rock on sister. I went and seen Muse with my son and I've seen lots of concerts, and k have to say that muse was the best concert I've ever been to.
If you're listening to this -in 2021- -in 2022- -in 2023- *in 2024* you have great taste in music!! Long live the 80s! Edit: Yes I did come back 3 years in a row to edit this comment! 1,000+ days later and I'm still jamming to this legendary song!
Bro, I'm 34 years old. Because I was born in 1986 and my parents always put this song and music video when I was a kid. Damn this song and generation was so cool and amazing. I really miss it so much 😁
Couldn't get this song out my head all day. I lived out my teens in the 80s and Pats not wrong. It was a battlefield then, now it's more like a warzone. Some shit never changes...but Pat will get you through 😘
I'll bet you you even strutted like her when you walked along all day too. ( I have to admit I get a little salsa in my steps when I hear this song too LOL)

She continues to play it - sorry. I’m a grammar nerd and continued makes it sounds like Pat is no longer with us. She and Neil opened for Pink in Los Angeles last month. I was there. I’ve actually seen her and Neil multiple times in the last decade. Their love story is beyond inspiring❤ Neil shreds better than ever and the lady can still sing. I think Pat defines the word power with her incredible voice and range. I have always loved this video. I was 21 in 83 and just starting to figure out who I am. I still know the somewhat simple choreography! My fake hips and fused spine don’t move the way they used to, but I still try to do the moves! Long live Pat Benatar!!!
I was like the only kid in Newark newjersey living in the projects that listened to this kind of music. I really couldn't share with anyone, but my immediate family. My mom listened to all genres of music. It was like going to a different country or just traveling out of your own bubble. Trust me, good music has no limits.
Hey lavonda this sheena crews remeber we went 2 warren st scool my grandmother had a resteraunt on howard st also one day u came to my house in the ironboud section flossie i cant remeber who elese but you and u was riding in a car and cindi lauper time after time was on i was singing and you said sheena singing that
Again Pat Benatar is snubbed by the RRHOF ,,,,, I salute you Pat you one of the greatest vocalist's that I have seen in my life time , thank you for your passion and dedication to your craft , and most of all thank you for the music that was the soundtrack to my life :)
The story in the video irrespective of the song is actually quite sad. Her waving goodbye to her brother, writing to him, the regretful demeanor of her parents in later scenes
women were kicking so much ass back then! Madonna, Pat Benetar, Cindi Lauper, kim Carnes, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, the Pointer Sisters, Stevie Nicks, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Chan, Debbie Harry, Dolly Parton, Chrissie Hynde, Grace Jones, Heart.
Patti, you really told the truth that love can and always will be a battlefield. Now according to the dance sequence you've did with the women background dancers. It showed how women have more power and they wouldn't take any more from abusive men. Watching that video at 3 yrs young in 1983 turned MTV into the best music channel of the 80s.
People ask me why do I listen to "old music" still. The answer is simple: Its better! Not to be biased but the 80's-90's music was the best. Everything from Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, and R&B. And this song is one of the greats!
+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.
+SunBeast66 I respectfully disagree. As the time passes, less and less substance can be found in songs. A lot of remakes, sampling, and regurgitated lyrics, and sound.
Dwight Johnson Music taste is entirely subjective though. I'm sure people from the 40s would have complained at the time about how terrible 80s and 90s music is.
+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.
I’m pretty sure she made this music hoping that it would last forever and people would still be listening 100 years from now... so who cares how the young generation found this master piece. Just be glad they’re keeping it alive .
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'
I was a kid on the street when this song came out, It was a song of hope. that things get better, they did. this song helped through ruff times...I will be fifty one. Thank You Pat and band,
I’m 11 years old and when you have parents that lived through the 80s you live through the 80s this is now my favorite song! Thank you for the likes I wasn’t expecting that!!!
Nothing wrong with it being your favorite song, but be honest with yourself; you lived through the 2010s. I'm about to turn 31 and I didn't even live through the 80s.
Glad you like it! If you like her music I have a few more of her songs to recommend. Shadows of the night, Promises in the dark (that one is my favorite), We belong, Hit me with your best shot, Heartbreaker, Fire and ice, Invincible. A lot, I know, but they are all great.
There are two versions of this video. I didn't realize until I seen this version, that the song is actually about women empowering themselves and their self- esteem. Which made this version of the video make sense to me.
everything felt genuine, real and there was so much less cynicism and irony that is present today. somehow life was more natural in a good way, the way it should be lived - magical.
I actually heard this song for the first time in my dad's car. We were driving through arizona, and he had a playlist on called "dad's hits". And now, from then on, for 7 consecutive years, this is my favorite song. Oh btw, I am 12.
I heard this song on the radio in the summer of 84 on a saturday at the beach i was 14 yrs old and had a summer job i couldnt wait til payday the next friday so i could buy the album soon as i got payed i bought it good memories😊 i lived in NZ then now i live in Canada
Man you were born at the right place at the right time. * '70 so you could chill and enjoy the whole '80 hits. I was born in 'Summer of '78. So i am a child of the '80's, too. Even i was 4 or 5years old at this age i remembered all hits of the 80's. Knowing the songs and interpret like: Eurythmics (who's that girl, Here Comes the Rain Again etc.), Icehouse, Nena, Madonna, Depeche Mode and Camouflage, Cutting Crew etc.) my knowing was and is enough, because my Dad did all heared this 80's synth Pops ect.!^^
@@sirbolzenwerfer5069 My nephew was born in 78 we used to stay up late on the weekend recording all those songs you mentioned on on our crappy tape recorder lol ahh those were the days😊
@@Outdoorcookwarereviews Yeah, there you say something true!!! The 80's and 90's or even late 90's where the days of my life, where live was feeling so real. Now with 42 i try to enjoy life on, but it's really hard, when you realize that the golden years are over and forever gone. But we could be proud because even this beautifully decades are gone...we have experienced these great decades and that is what counts at the end...but that is only my opinion!^^ But honestly I don't know what scares me more, that we getting older or realizing that nothing is meant to last forever! But the saddest thing is, These stupid thoughts ruin my fun in life! Could not stop thinking about my own death, which will come more and more closer. Or is this normal...midlife crysis? So the only thing to stop this shit is distraction (i am a german guy, so i don't know if this is the right word for it!^^? )
Just wanted to say thanks for that huge playlist you have! Born in the wrong generation/era and I'm just now really discovering 80s music. (and also that Hawaiian guitar playlist)
Thou art welcome, we's gotta spread that 80s love! Lionel Richie's Dancing On The Ceiling is playing from my phone right now, he he! I'm trying to match my song collection with with the video ones for the ultimate 80s YT playlist. I'm now only at the letter C, hopefully every day with a new letter, if I have the time! It's now up to 837 of the best songs that defined that decade! Woot woot!
Lol, yes! The scene where she wiggles her shoulders and advances on the guy ala West Side Story! Also, so many greased up muscles throughout the video, hahaha. Oh eighties, you never stop giving to us, and that's why we love you.
Today as a dad that grew up on this song I can now say I will do my best to NOT be like the dad in this video but support and try at least try to understand my daughters....
I guess, but they don't show what she did to get kicked out. I knew a girl who got kicked out at 18, at the time (I was 20) I thought it cruel. Then I got to know the girl. It's a hard thing to say, but she deserved it.
L.A. is in a gradual but definite state of decline . . . and has been since long before Covid-19 hit. Despite Pat Banatar's wonderful music, I'd say that life in L.A. is not okay.
80's the best years of the last 100 years and to come too. Music, art, fashion, costumes, everything was buzzing. Love was in the air and life was eventful.
@@thedelusionisreal right they didnt play our black music in the early 80s only prince & micheal jackson. All the Rest we watch our lastest music video on B.E.T On Video soul with Donnie Simpon
This song and the video helps me fight through the horrors of living. Thank you Pat Benatar for doing what you have chosen in this world. My heart will forever be Thankful.

@@johnfleming6236Auto tune was invented in 1997, so, in the 80's it was never use, that's why 80's still the best, a nostalgic decade that everybody still remember and miss until this days.
80s periods? A bloodbath
70s can beat it
80’s videos were like mini films , costumes, drama, dynamic and kick ass dance scenes . Real art , so original!
Yes
And yet Gen X get called Boomers no we are the forgotten generation 😢

There still are those…
Okay we'll just tell me is it too early for me to get in the shower or should I just lay down and go to sleep
Dedicating this moment to Travis Wesley Edmiston of Spring Valley CA, I met on Cinco de Mayo 1983. He loved and idolized Pat Benatar. I miss you boo! RIP
We don’t get it like this anymore ‼️ Thank GOD I grew in the 80s❤ …There’s nothing like it
Classic Video!!!!!!
They don’t make music like they did back then.
MTV was a true thing back then. The music and the videos are iconic. Miss those days.
Some is better!
*if you are comparing this to pop music of today, then you are right. There are alot of amazing songs and albums of today, you are just too lazy to look for those, since you are only exposed to "pop" music as if it is the only music in the world.
i agree with that. i think they need to change mtv to something else since they no longer play music videos
Hi 👋, how are you doing
This is so 80s it bring tears to my eyes from my wonderful teenage memories! Thank you God for making me a teenager in the 80s!
1983 I was 12, 80s rocked it was good to be a teen then cause of the music!!!🎧📻🎶🎵🎸
@@tropics71 I was 15. God, this is so emotional. Where have all these years gone?
The decade was so intense and colorful. No other like it in terms of clothes, music.
Hi Mia, how are you doing today?
I wasnt a teen yet but I lived for those Power Vocals of the 80's
This lady is by far one of the greatest rock stars of the 1980s! I’m a black guy and I can listen to her all day & nite and twice on Sundays! Pat is the s*#t!!
Me too
how is being black related to the music you listen to? man I'm not white but ehhhh?????
Am I the only one who loves the farewell moment at 4:45 with the protagonist saying goodbye to each of her fellows, each in a unique way?
Yes! I always liked it!
how 80s !! loved that decade
Yup!!! A very transitional decade, I didn't even understand it as I grew up in it. I weep as we now regress before it humanity wise. This was before Queen(Freddy) even came out. Shit man, it was the Cosby decade! America loved black people.
Oh, what 100 years from now people will think of us(2017), when the 80's had it so clear with all it's heavy make-up, big hair, neon glory, but people were people and live and let live was a common theme.
mark grierson
I agree! good times
Fantastic wasn't it !
i really enjoyed it... was born in 1973 so the 80's were perfect, especially 1988/89
Jane G Seda me to. I'm 32
I make music in the style of the decade, but wish I could've been born earlier..
No song in the last 30 years can compete with this as an anthem for Youth - the energy, the hopes, the passion!
The nostalgia of youth ... :)

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.
I grew up listening to this in the 80'z as a lil kid with my Mother

Awesome 👏

oof. ua-cam.com/video/sRvEwXDxz_I/v-deo.html
In the video 30 year old Pat Benetar plays a girl half her age. Her father (Trey Wilson) is actually only 5 years older than her. ;-) Great 80's song.
rif42 So you're saying that her father had a child at 5 years?
It was common in the 80's to have 30-year old actors playing 16-year olds, so it didn't really even stick out in that context
Bunghole.
rif42 .....She was 30 in this video!!!!!?????😮😮😮😮😮 are U kidding me???? She looks super young. Wow!!!
Surah Online I'm 39 an looks younger than her
A massive hit for Pat right there ... takes me back to late 1983.
My wife and myself both ❤ this song too! 🥰
The dance moves from minute 3:20,..................just awesome
The world needs the fire of the 80s to return now more then ever...
D West - You're right, that's why we are trying out with something like that ;) Rokage is the best option nowadays
D West It might just in about 53 years or so 😂
True! I'm young I'm 24 years old, but the 80s and 90s are the most beautiful decades ever. :-)
It has been trying to come back but most people don't like it
Honestly I’m good I don’t want to have the issues of the 80’s like we have issues now but that’d take away lgbtq rights sooo.
Damn I wish I was born in 1975 so I could enjoy the 80's and 90's music, great tv shows and movies and have some real fun and good time. But noooooo I got to be 23 now and living in this fuck up time. Hands up don't shoot! Good bless all.
At the very least, Pat is still around in the fuck up time and you're not the only person with those feels. lol
***** yes I am aware that she is and she look good. And thank god I'm not I thought I was an old soul for a minute.
If it makes you feel even more better, I listen to some 60s old soul (The Supremes for ex.) and I'm about to turn 21. Lol
***** yay! We some old souls haha. No we not we just know good shit when we hear it.
You are disgrace for generation y
Released 35yrs ago TODAY!! September 12th 1983.... And still as amazing as EVER
Thanks so much for making me feel old lol
This song is 1 yr younger than my life 😁 yw
Year I was born.
I Love this music. Was the best Time in my life
Hi Dolores, how are you doing
Her voice still resonates in 2024.
Seems like I was just watching this on MTV when MTV was good. Now I’m 57. Oh...did that go fast.
I completely understand the feeling, dan!
dan4466 shut up! you re making me cry!
Dude tell me!
53 Here....You got that right brother...LIke yesterday I was sitting in my dad's den watching this on cable...wtf happened?
I was 5 when MTV first aired
Surely there can't be many better openings to a song than the "whoa whoa whoa we are STRONG"....! the passion in it hits you like a bus....what a legend Pat is
So good. Feminist anthem way before its time. Live it, learn it. This was something else. Outstanding, as she always was. And her ensemble here was titanic, including the males made to look bad. Just a great video of a great song.
+Perkele I fucking hate you
+tralala lala fuck you feminazi
+821lancevance EXCAHUSE MEH?! First of all: I really dont like femimazis And second: Do u even know what feminism is??
I loved and still love this song but I am no feminist.
this song reminds me of what my mother taught me feminism should be. sadly, it's not lived up... but there's always hope. *smiles*
The best days of the original MTV. 😢😢😢❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes! Before cable and MTV had zero commercials ❤
In my country we didn't have MTV so in those years we didn't know the videos of those songs that we liked so much. 😖
I absolutely love this song. Such feeling and passion in her voice. 💕
She is absolutely Rad! Merry Christmas happy holidays
Thank you so much!
Super chanson ❤

We are young
(Heartache to heartache)
Heartache to heartache
(We stand)
We stand
No promises
(No demands)
No demands
(Love is a battlefield)
Love is a battlefield
Whoa
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
You're making me go
Then making me stay
Why do you hurt me so bad?
It would help me to know
Do I stand in your way
Or am I the best thing you've had?
Believe me, believe me
I can't tell you why
But I'm trapped by your love
And I'm chained to your side
We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
When I'm losing control
Will you turn me away
Or touch me deep inside?
And when all this gets old
Will it still feel the same
There's no way this will die
But if we get much closer
I could lose control
And if your heart surrenders
You'll need me to hold
We are young
Heartache to heartache
We stand
No promises
No demands
Love is a battlefield
We are strong
No one can tell us we're wrong
Searching our hearts for so long
Both of us knowing
Love is a battlefield
Gracias por haber escrito la letra aqui 😍

One of the Timeless, Iconic Anthem Songs of the Great 80’s Music Decade…Such a Powerful, Impactful Song!
If you're listening to this -in 2021- -in 2022- -in 2023- *in 2024* you have great taste in music!! Long live the 80s!
Edit: Yes I did come back 3 years in a row to edit this comment! 1,000+ days later and I'm still jamming to this legendary song!
Right here
Of course I am.
Right back at you 👊🏼
Yessirr
No, I'm not yet. But Pat Benatar already is, that's why I'm here.
13 Going On 30 brought me here...first time hearing this song..fell in love instantly
Me too
Great movie.
Same 🩷 going through a battle of my own with a toxic marriage so this song hits strong!
I am struck at how intense her eyes and demeanor is, you know she truly believed in what she was singing... I am glad I am an 80s baby...True Art..
Yes definitely I love her energy so empowering
80s babies rule😘💖
Omg yes!!! Like you believe her she’s so emotional and performing her ass off
Its her heart poured out on paper
It was a good one. The 80s were full of good music and its hard for a song to stand out, but this is one of them
Classic Friday Night Videos from the 1980's. Excellent.
mattmorrow7777 A day Aya 0s
I stayed up late to see the video
how did she fit so many outfits into that bag?

She was dreaming ..
She borrowed it from Hermione Granger.
Thumbs up, boys and girls in his/her 50s still singing proudly: "WE ARE YOUNG ... WE ARE STRONG" this 2021.
Im 22 my parents love this song, so will my kids I will make them
@QUEEN ELIZABETH no shit,you'll get old as well, if we don't go to war with China, if so the draft will be reinstated and the young will DIE!
Bro, I'm 34 years old. Because I was born in 1986 and my parents always put this song and music video when I was a kid. Damn this song and generation was so cool and amazing. I really miss it so much 😁
you could just say they instead of "his/her" bc thats extremely exclusive and rude 😀👍
65, I’m only old on the outside
One of the greatest songs ever, in my opinion!
Couldn't get this song out my head all day. I lived out my teens in the 80s and Pats not wrong. It was a battlefield then, now it's more like a warzone. Some shit never changes...but Pat will get you through 😘
Exactly
Love is a real ass fking PUBG
I'll bet you you even strutted like her when you walked along all day too. ( I have to admit I get a little salsa in my steps when I hear this song too LOL)

Its catchy melodies, powerful vocals, and inspiring lyrics have made it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with listeners and inspire them to stand up for themselves.
She continues to play it - sorry. I’m a grammar nerd and continued makes it sounds like Pat is no longer with us. She and Neil opened for Pink in Los Angeles last month. I was there. I’ve actually seen her and Neil multiple times in the last decade. Their love story is beyond inspiring❤ Neil shreds better than ever and the lady can still sing. I think Pat defines the word power with her incredible voice and range.
I have always loved this video. I was 21 in 83 and just starting to figure out who I am. I still know the somewhat simple choreography! My fake hips and fused spine don’t move the way they used to, but I still try to do the moves!
Long live Pat Benatar!!!
God I miss the 80s....take me back and never let me leave!
I was born in the mid 90s and I too would rather live in the 80s than the hell that is known as the 2000s
It was a great time in many ways. Pesky teenage hormones notwithstanding.
@Kevin Mazura - Take me with you.
Some
Amen to *THAT* !!!!
I was like the only kid in Newark newjersey living in the projects that listened to this kind of music.
I really couldn't share with anyone, but my immediate family. My mom listened to all genres of music. It was like going to a different country or just traveling out of your own bubble. Trust me, good music has no limits.
I love this!! Us 80s kids didn’t have that kind of racial division.
You have great music taste. Great music has no color. It's awesome that your mom was able to share that with you.
My daughter was born in 93 n I had her listening to it when she was growing up
Hey lavonda this sheena crews remeber we went 2 warren st scool my grandmother had a resteraunt on howard st also one day u came to my house in the ironboud section flossie i cant remeber who elese but you and u was riding in a car and cindi lauper time after time was on i was singing and you said sheena singing that
I’m from Newark nj Hudson county . Definitely can relate if you listened to this you were considered a weirdo
That intro still kills . . . smokin' hot stuff from Pat Benatar, forever; she is samurai.
Watched it 5 times in a row. Someone needs to invent a time machine. 80s we’re the best
I wish there was a Time Machine
Again Pat Benatar is snubbed by the RRHOF ,,,,, I salute you Pat you one of the greatest vocalist's that I have seen in my life time , thank you for your passion and dedication to your craft , and most of all thank you for the music that was the soundtrack to my life :)
Maria Cisneros HOF!?!? Can u say one hit wonder?
El Comandante You're an idiot if you think she is a one hit wonder.
The story in the video irrespective of the song is actually quite sad. Her waving goodbye to her brother, writing to him, the regretful demeanor of her parents in later scenes
Birthday caird pish
The very sad part is, I bet this has happened many times to families all over the world.
The sad part is that she leaves a stable home life to run off and become a hooker for a dude with a golden tooth.
80s music > today's music
Pat Benatar = G.O.A.T
Probably the best voice of the 80s - love her to this day and beyond!
No. but great.
The 80s wasn’t that great for music but she has a great rock voice and this has a great sound. The 40s, 60s, and 90s were all better for music.
Best voice of the 80s? Lol.
@@kimhoitomt8527 40s and 90s...nah.
women were kicking so much ass back then! Madonna, Pat Benetar, Cindi Lauper, kim Carnes, Tina Turner, Annie Lennox, the Pointer Sisters, Stevie Nicks, Aretha Franklin, Chaka Chan, Debbie Harry, Dolly Parton, Chrissie Hynde, Grace Jones, Heart.
Great female rockers
Preach!
Plus Patty Smyth, Aimee Mann, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, Terri Nunn...
😃🎤🎸
I wonder where the Patriarchy was then? Didn't do a good job of oppressing those ones.
Joan jett!!
Debbie Harry.
Patti, you really told the truth that love can and always will be a battlefield.
Now according to the dance sequence you've did with the women background dancers.
It showed how women have more power and they wouldn't take any more from abusive men.
Watching that video at 3 yrs young in 1983 turned MTV into the best music channel of the 80s.
This is a woman's anthem. Being so young didn't see it. I just liked her music. Fell in love with the video like so many children do.
@Adriane Ross so lovely how are you doing today
Hello 🤗 Adriane, how are you doing today
People ask me why do I listen to "old music" still. The answer is simple: Its better! Not to be biased but the 80's-90's music was the best. Everything from Pop, Rock, Hip-hop, and R&B. And this song is one of the greats!
+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.
+SunBeast66 I respectfully disagree. As the time passes, less and less substance can be found in songs. A lot of remakes, sampling, and regurgitated lyrics, and sound.
Dwight Johnson
Music taste is entirely subjective though. I'm sure people from the 40s would have complained at the time about how terrible 80s and 90s music is.
+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.
mrhoffame Good points! Back then there were MANY great artists. Now its hard to even call them that. And the reasons are as you stated.
I’m pretty sure she made this music hoping that it would last forever and people would still be listening 100 years from now... so who cares how the young generation found this master piece. Just be glad they’re keeping it alive .
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'
@@Pikawarps why would you bother to write that? FFS you must be special....
@@Pikawarps wrong, im 34 and I think music from the 1960's is still the best
@@ReginaTrans_Me to ❤
As a girl going into high school, I can confirm: 80's music is the best. Way better than anything coming out now.
I still can't believe how she's already 71. She was a beast in her time. I miss this era😢
in the 80s a boogie showdown brought resolution to most conflicts.
TRUTH!!!
It still does imho
Majinjef2099 I luv it..
Oh times have changed
The best UA-cam comment ever... :-)
I was a kid on the street when this song came out, It was a song of hope. that things get better, they did. this song helped through ruff times...I will be fifty one. Thank You Pat and band,
I’m 11 years old and when you have parents that lived through the 80s you live through the 80s this is now my favorite song! Thank you for the likes I wasn’t expecting that!!!
i'm 52 :)
Good for you!
Nothing wrong with it being your favorite song, but be honest with yourself; you lived through the 2010s. I'm about to turn 31 and I didn't even live through the 80s.
I was born in the 70s!
Glad you like it! If you like her music I have a few more of her songs to recommend. Shadows of the night, Promises in the dark (that one is my favorite), We belong, Hit me with your best shot, Heartbreaker, Fire and ice, Invincible. A lot, I know, but they are all great.
Υπεροχο κομματι τις δεκαετιας του '80!!!❤
Νοσταλγία αισθανομαι για εκεινη την εποχη!!!🥀🥀
She was petite... but proved she had more balls than any guy at this time... awesome music and presence.
She was like the Trinity of music.
There are two versions of this video. I didn't realize until I seen this version, that the song is actually about women empowering themselves and their self- esteem. Which made this version of the video make sense to me.
Clifton Hall this isnt the one I remembered either.
I was a teen in the 80's. It was awesome.!!!!
everything felt genuine, real and there was so much less cynicism and irony that is present today. somehow life was more natural in a good way, the way it should be lived - magical.
Same here!, now i am an old ass 50. :(
Lucky, I wish I lived then!

I actually heard this song for the first time in my dad's car. We were driving through arizona, and he had a playlist on called "dad's hits". And now, from then on, for 7 consecutive years, this is my favorite song. Oh btw, I am 12.
of course it is!!!
Same I like this song and I’ve been listening to her since I was 5 me and my dad like her songs
Awwww...........I was 12 when this song came out, and it’s still one of my favorite songs to this day!!!
80s Was The Best When People Actually Sing.

Love is a Battlefield. True that.
I heard this song on the radio in the summer of 84 on a saturday at the beach i was 14 yrs old and had a summer job i couldnt wait til payday the next friday so i could buy the album soon as i got payed i bought it good memories😊 i lived in NZ then now i live in Canada
Man you were born at the right place at the right time. * '70 so you could chill and enjoy the whole '80 hits. I was born in 'Summer of '78. So i am a child of the '80's, too. Even i was 4 or 5years old at this age i remembered all hits of the 80's. Knowing the songs and interpret like: Eurythmics (who's that girl, Here Comes the Rain Again etc.), Icehouse, Nena, Madonna, Depeche Mode and Camouflage, Cutting Crew etc.) my knowing was and is enough, because my Dad did all heared this 80's synth Pops ect.!^^
SO NOW YOU LIVE IN THE LAND OF THE DRAFT DODGER AND BABY SEAL CLUBBERS
@@sirbolzenwerfer5069 My nephew was born in 78 we used to stay up late on the weekend recording all those songs you mentioned on on our crappy tape recorder lol ahh those were the days😊
@@johnsepulveda443 Yep and the Seals taste great
@@Outdoorcookwarereviews Yeah, there you say something true!!! The 80's and 90's or even late 90's where the days of my life, where live was feeling so real. Now with 42 i try to enjoy life on, but it's really hard, when you realize that the golden years are over and forever gone. But we could be proud because even this beautifully decades are gone...we have experienced these great decades and that is what counts at the end...but that is only my opinion!^^
But honestly I don't know what scares me more, that we getting older or realizing that nothing is meant to last forever! But the saddest thing is, These stupid thoughts ruin my fun in life! Could not stop thinking about my own death, which will come more and more closer. Or is this normal...midlife crysis? So the only thing to stop this shit is distraction (i am a german guy, so i don't know if this is the right word for it!^^? )
Iconic 80s song.
I FRUCKING LOVE THE 80s.
My 824 song collection from that decade-only shows it!
Just wanted to say thanks for that huge playlist you have! Born in the wrong generation/era and I'm just now really discovering 80s music. (and also that Hawaiian guitar playlist)
Thou art welcome, we's gotta spread that 80s love! Lionel Richie's Dancing On The Ceiling is playing from my phone right now, he he!
I'm trying to match my song collection with with the video ones for the ultimate 80s YT playlist. I'm now only at the letter C, hopefully every day with a new letter, if I have the time!
It's now up to 837 of the best songs that defined that decade! Woot woot!
My favorite song to sing and dance to just to make my older sister smile. Lol. The 80’s have been the best times of my life.
it was Jenna Rink favorite song too.....who's your daddy? 😂
My workout song!.
Hi Rebecca, how are you doing?
Good for you:) It is certainly a classic and yes 80s were great
Nowadays they play computer shit nothing like the real instruments they faded away sadly and it hurts my heart so much..
The dance off/showdown is so badass & hilarious at the same time lol

@@marilynrodriguez6412 Um...ok.
Lol, yes! The scene where she wiggles her shoulders and advances on the guy ala West Side Story! Also, so many greased up muscles throughout the video, hahaha. Oh eighties, you never stop giving to us, and that's why we love you.
persona2grata right lol
Mostly hilarious. It ruined an otherwise ok video lol
I love that song, It reminds me of the good old times. Good music will never go out of style, Don't ever forget it.
Thank you 80s and Thank you MTV! What a glorious time to grow up.
That’s when mtv was real
Únicos .
Que Quedan y serán lo Mejor de lo mejor.❤❤❤❤❤amo los .80
🎉 I agree ❤ MTV changed our Generation
Sure was! I miss that time so much, wish I could go back!
OMG. I do not get tired of this, ever! Prince litterally possessed by his guitar. Unbelievable.
Today as a dad that grew up on this song I can now say I will do my best to NOT be like the dad in this video but support and try at least try to understand my daughters....
Post results.
Well you can hardly blame him who wants a thirty something kid still at home throwing strops and storming out
I guess, but they don't show what she did to get kicked out. I knew a girl who got kicked out at 18, at the time (I was 20) I thought it cruel. Then I got to know the girl. It's a hard thing to say, but she deserved it.
david bryan lol! Im sure her character in the video was about 18 lol !! She did good!
a waste of time....
I'm in Los Angeles quarantine and listening to Pat Benatar songs. Life is OK.
..until this covid19 mutates and makes us all zombies. And then we come for you and break your windows and enter and try to eat your delicious brain.
George Vreeland Hill down the street by the grove. Be well. Get to pinks when it opens up again.

L.A. is in a gradual but definite state of decline . . . and has been since long before Covid-19 hit. Despite Pat Banatar's wonderful music, I'd say that life in L.A. is not okay.
I was there in the 80’s when this song was released ♥️
Me too every one keeps going on about stranger things what is that
@@markmitchell450 a very successful show on netflix that takes place in the 80s
So was I. Born in 1956 I’ve heard some awesome songs.
Me too, racing home from school on my chopper bike with my Walkman blasting this song out, to play on my atari. Simple, wonderful tines...
@@knightstemplar8379 bro that’s my life🥰 I had a chopper❤️
Vem Nosso Senhor E Salvador E Libertador Jesus Cristo Redentor Salvai-nos Com A Luz Do Divino Espírito Santo De Deus Amém
80's the best years of the last 100 years and to come too. Music, art, fashion, costumes, everything was buzzing. Love was in the air and life was eventful.
I was born 81:)) diffrent vibe back then for sure!!!
i'm a 95er and this makes me nostalgic somehow
Well said
