    I've seen a couple of people's posts that they think there's a story behind the song... there very much is... back in the 80s the record labels kept wanting her to dress up like a sexy little kitten Vixen and she was uncomfortable with it... towards the end of the song where they show her album cover when she's bending backwards and she's wearing the skin tight outfit and she's sings the line "sex as a weapon" she looks up at the picture that was kind of a "screw you" to the record labels.. because of her confidence and success in the end she got her way.. directly after that panel in the video you see the giant Bank of Television screens.. in the bottom right-hand corner you see Pat and she has kind of a self-satisfied smirk on her face cuz she got her point across

      I think that was true of all women in the 80s that were categorized in the hard rock genre. Heart was another example; the record company had them dress all sexy and then when Ann gained weight they just put Nancy in the front spot in videos. There were Heart videos with Ann singing lead that would hardly ever show her. That whole decade was about sexualizing everything, almost like it is now except you have the occasional Adele who isn't a pinup girl but still sells tons of records. Even in comparison I think the 80s was far more fake than we are currently.

    This song was Pat's Finger wave at advertisers to stop using Sex to sell products. If you notice at the end of the video they show models with several different consumer products. What is even more interesting is that they flash a picture of her early years and her reaction is priceless.
    This video was nominated for 6 MTV music video awards for editing, sound, etc. Pat did not win any of the 6. However, in 1986, she won Favorite Female Video artist on the American Music Awards.

    The record company didn't give them enough time to finish their albums, they were on a strict every 9 months new album schedule and by the time this 7th album, aptly titled 7 the Hard Way was released, things got bad between them and Chrysalis. It's all in Pat's new book, Between a Rock & a Heart Place. Great insight into being female in the 80's music scene. The album only had 9 songs and most were not to their satisfaction. Definitely affected sales as well as the charts.

    Brilliant video with the best voice range of all time! The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame where are you on this! Pat can sing anything! The best female rocker and vocals ever! As for the 10 dislikes...you all know nothing about true power and range with vocals because Pat has the ultimate best of all time!!! Love Ya Pat!!!!!

    I love the way the song/video has a kind of weariness and disapproving tone to it - about sleazy marketing and sex selling everything - whilst at the same time musically sounding like it would not be out of place at a poll dancing establishment!
    Love that funky bassline...

    A time when many rockers from the 70s were following technology to enhance their sound. This track retains enough of Ms. Benatar's attitude to be viable, though.

      +Eric Springer For the last bloody time EVERYONE has EVERYTHING before that thieving old no-talent sex-mad old slag from hell. Kim Wilde was projecting a svelte and sophisticated image and using Marilyn Monroe stage imagery with snippets of the Peggy Lee classic 'Fever' befor ethe old harpy did a dirge of it, and she was singing about a special place to get away from people-a sort of heaven, and commenting on relationships in Hollywood, long before that old trout started it. Plus Slag's True Poo album completely rips off the blue/white cover of Kim's classic 3rd album "Catch As Catch Can". The nasty old bints nicked left right and centre from just about every man and woman out there, but then they are artists and she's just a foul old pretender, for thick other clones with nothing in their lives but worship a pathetic old crone like her that has nothing good about it! Just saying.

    This song has to be the most longeve unknown track I wished to find out in my personal list. I had it recorded on cassette from an old TV show which didn't mention the title, it was probably 1989 or so, 25 years later using Shazam or SoundHound I found it and it was just a relief, I played it countless times with such a smile on my face!
