T, if you really want to hear Pat Benatar, you need to hear Heartbreaker, Hell Is For Children, Promises In The Dark for starters.

Shadows of the Night

Pat was trained in musical theater and opera from an early age. Her voice was special, especially given her small frame. The very popular music video was directed by Bob Giraldi who also did "Beat It" and a number of other popular vids from that era (c. 1983). There was a lot of "group dancing" in vids from that particular time. .

Dude. Half shirts were EVERYWHERE in the 80s. I had one with “Where’s the beef?” Across the front. Pat Benatar had so many hits. Fantastic voice.

My favorite song of hers is "Hell Is For Children". It showed just how stupid parents groups and the media can be. They tried to get it banned saying it was promoting Satanism to kids. Obviously they only read the title and never listened to the song because it's really about the horrors of child abuse. She wrote it after reading an article about a really bad case in the newspaper one day. Very powerful song with a very powerful performance by her.

I ❤️ Pat Benatar!

Wife and I saw her twice a few years back. Her and her husband Neil Giraldo, her guitar player, have been together longer than we have and at the time they had been together 35 or 36 years. It’s a true love too, because onstage they only have eyes for each other. He is criminally underrated as a guitar player too. They put on a great show and you should see them if at all possible.

I want to believe that at the end of the video Pat returned home to her family.

I saw her in concert back in the day. She has a lot of great songs.

Saw her in 1988 and in 2016. She still is awesome!

Pat is a great great singer. Biggest hit was probably Hit me With yr Best Shot. My favorite decades are definitely 60s and 80s. She recently did a benefit concert she sounded great!

80's! Such an amazing talent. Love her voice!

Love Pat Benatar! A truly great female rock vocalist. I always enjoyed this song. My personal favorite is probably Promises in the Dark. Single greatest singer is impossible to name, but, in the rock genre Pat is top tier along with Ann Wilson (Heart), Janis Joplin (in a class by herself), Stevie Nicks, and Tins Turner.I will stop myself there. Great reaction y'all. Looking forward to more Pat Benatar.

At 3:13 the guy with the crop top (half shirt) is the choreographer Michael Peters. He was the choreographer for Beat It, Thriller, and other videos for many artists. He was also a choreographer for the movies The Mambo Kings, Sister Act 2, 13 Going on 30 and a few others.

Yo, she rocks! Queen of Radio Rock (reigned in the late ‘70’s-early ‘80’s)….FINALLY being inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll HOF class of ‘22! Been married to her hubby for 40 + yrs., he’s also her writing partner and lead guitarist!

Yep 80’s had it all. So many legends during that era and genre of music. Pat is such a powerhouse and an amazing performer too. Awesome reaction.

Pat Benatar the great singer we love to dance in the 80s I was a teenager in the 80s those we're the best times ever I love your Channel on KZread

Pat Benatar is a vocal POWERHOUSE!!!!!

The movie "Legend of Billy Jean" ...it's iconic!!!

Promises in the dark..Hit me with your best shot..Fire and ice..Heartbreaker

I've seen Pat Benatar 3 times and am going to see her again June 25th. Can't wait, she puts on a great show.

I got to meet her briefly years ago. A sweet tiny lady. I was in awe.

Dammit I miss the 80's !!! I love me some Pat Benatar... and I'v always loved this song when all my friends were into heavier manly bands. Glad you two watched the video with the song, it's just the only way to really enjoy this song. Pat has other great songs too, Hell is for Children, Hit me with your best shot, , We Belong, just to name a few. And I should add, it is a travesty Pat Benatar is still not inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame !!

@ 3:12 those shirts were the style back then. We called them "Half shirts". Everybody was wearing them like that. LOL. We thought we were all so cool. haha. Pat Benatar is a Rocker for sure!! Heartbreaker, Hell is for Children are some to check out!!

"PROMISES IN THE DARK"PAT BENATER, GOOD ROCK SONG

One of the best songs in history. Pure brilliance.

I’ve recently start playing Bass again and this was the first song I started to learn. Such a nasty sounding bass line but it’s not intensely hard to play. I was born in ‘89 so I missed the ‘80s greats like Pat and Cyndi but I jam out hard to their iconic feminine songs. Edit: This song was in 13 Going on 30 with Jennifer Garner. That’s where I first heard it all those years back and why I picked it to learn on guitar. Also I love this channel y’all got personality and positivity vibes. 👌

I wanted to be Pat Benatar! Saw her recently live. She is amazing!

Metalhead here. Love me some damn Pat Benatar, she's got a voice that pavks a hell of a punch. I remember also being in a theatre group in highschool where we did a take on this music video but extended. Fun times.

Fun story: Back in 1975, before she became a rock singer, Pat Benatar was singing cabaret songs in a pub when she was approached by Harry Chapin. He wanted to hire her to perform in a futuristic rock musical he'd written. During rehearsals, he and others would come and compliment her singing, but then say, "You gotta rough it up a little." She finally got it. :) Without Harry Chapin, Pat Benatar may never have become a rock star. (Watch her tell the story in "A Tribute to Harry Chapin at Carnegie Hall" here on KZread, starting around 24:18.)

Now do her song "Promises In The Dark"!

Pat is the rock 'n' roll QUEEN! Others are great, too, but Pat ROCKS. The song wasn't written as part of a soundtrack, but it was used in a lot of shows, most famously in "13 Going on 30," starring Jennifer Garner. Pat did a ton of great songs, but one you probably won't hear about is *"I Want Out"* from her "Get Nervous" album. Saved my soul when I had to leave my husband. Also, I was from Long Island, like Pat, and we're around the same age. She and her husband, lead guitarist Neil Geraldo, are still touring. Have loved her since the early 80s. *Go vote for her to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame, FINALLY.* Long overdue.....More great Pat: *Shadows of the Night, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, My Clone Sleeps Alone, I Need A Lover Who Won't Drive Me Crazy, We Belong* -- the list is a long one.

Pat is definitely one of the greatest. She started out doing opera…

All the best artists out here know that Love IS a Battlefield. And that really does fire their creativity. Even the great comedians know that too. Not just musicians and writers and actors. I’m thinking especially of Patrice O’Neal, George Carlin, and Bill Burr to name a few of the ones you guys have already done some great reactions to. Thanks!

Pat’s song Hit Me with Your Best Shot was 45 was given to me by my uncle as a kid. I’ve been a fan ever since

It was in 13 Going On 30 and I think it was also featured in Legend of Billie Jean.

It’s not so much her incredible vocals but also the quality of material she puts out. Her and her husband who by the way, is a killer guitarist in the band, are still going strong. She was just one of many women that dominated MTV in the day.

So glad you guys reacted to this song, love me so Pat Benatar.

So much music from the 80’s was about girl power. Amazing videos & music!

Imagine her doing a duet with Ronnie James Dio! Two short singers with GIANT voices!

The song wasnt featured on any 80s films that i’m aware of, other than 13 going on 30 (2004) and Small Soldiers (1998) which are both 15-20 years later. The reason you think it features on a movie is because….lots of 80s hits sounded cinematic or dramatic, its why its the most interesting decade for music, i’m glad to have grown up in the 80s.

My group of friends decided to dress like Pat once to go see a movie...but we weren't old enough to drive so our mom's had to drop us off...my mom wouldn't drive me until I changed clothes bc she thought I was too young to dress like that. I got mad & called her a fuddy dud & then I didn't get to go at all...one of life's lessons! Now Pat Benatar always reminds me of my mama!

When this came out on MTV, I was obsessed.

Funny you mentioned Beat It Vibe. This video was directed and choreographed by the same director and choreographer.

8:53 I love it that younger generations really get the 80s. yes, our music idols were hugely talented back then. Benatar, MJ, Prince, Madonna, Janet, Whitney, George Michael, Springsteen, Cyndi, Duran Duran, Stevie Nicks, i could go on and on. i was a teenager back then and wouldn't trade it for being a teen now for anything.

This song may have been in an older movie, but it may have been in 13 Going on 30. I know there is at least one of her songs is in that movie. 80s were the best in many ways. The invention of MTV and having videos for the first time gave the world some of the best entertainment ever. Pat is amazing and sounds as good today as she did then!

Yep, that's the movie.

Promises in the Dark, We Belong, Heartbreaker highlight her voice much more than this song. She has tons of hits and is up for Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which she should have been in a long time ago. Best female rocker!

Class of 85! Great memories!

Dunno where exactly you heard it first, but i was introduced to this song by the movie - 13 going on 30! It’s a romantic movie with you Jennifer Garner and Mark Ruffalo!

Shadows of the night and Best Shot are iconic Benetar

Listening to love as a battlefield from Pat Benatar is like listening to Styx Mr Roboto as the first song...Pat benatar was at her best in the 70's with songs like Promises in the Dark, Hell is for children ,Hit me with your best shot. heartbreaker. and Fire and Ice .All good 70 Rock songs !!

Pat Benater is one of my favorite female singers from the 80's, Also from that decade, Cyndi Lauper is awesome. Should react to her pop/rock songs like I Drove All Night or Change Of Heart. Great music came from the 80's, many unique artists.

The scene where Pat was in a bus she wasn't fantasizing. That was her leaving her home and going to NYC and heading into a life of a private dancer or a woman of the night. But this song is more than just the typical romantic love between two lovers. The music video showed that the love between a father and daughter can be a battlefield because of the lack of understanding between them. I certainly can relate to the story line of this music video in terms of my relationship or lack of a relationship with my father.

The booty shorts guy was the choreographer. He also did Thriller.

Tasha really had those shoulders going. 😍

One of my favorites ❤.

Brings back memories 🌸✌️☮️

As others have said there are many other great Pat Benetar songs to pick from.

This is the second played on MTV....The Buggles Video killes the Radio Star was first song broadcast.

Pat is awesome!! She just made the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! Her video for You Better Run was the 2nd video to ever air on MTV, only after Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles. This video for Love Is A Battlefield was the first to have spoken words (when her dad yells at her before she runs away), not just music in it on MTV! She trained singing opera! She is 5'1 but she has a giant voice.

Pat Benatar Heartbreaker!

They played it in the 2004 movie "13 Going on 30". It wasn't in "Flashdance" or any other '80s movie. The video itself is a mini-movie.

Awesome ain't heard this in years great reaction guys 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥♥️☮️💯

Thank you both, this song is a hi-NRG classic!!! Your reaction was genuine and it's great to see the younger generations experiencing the magic of the 80s. Subscribed.

Y'all should check out the CMT Crossroads episode with Pat and Martina McBride

Love Is a Battlefield. Was played in the Top Gun Movie Starring Tom Cruise.

You guys should react to her video Promises in the Dark.

Love this... And you will too...💯🔥😍

Masterpiece

You guys probably heard the song because it was a mega hit when it dropped! She has an amazing powerful voice!

This song was used in 13 Going On 30.

"Go ahead" 😂

Hell is for Children is a sad song that rocks

You should check out som female 80's metal.. "Lee Aaron - Metal Queen" or "Warlock - Fight For Rock"

This song was in 13 Going on 30 with Jennifer Garner. The girls sang it at their slumber party.

This was actually the first video to tell a narrative story. It's become standard now but this was the first to do it!

Promises in the Dark is 🔥

LIPSTICK LIES, SEX AS A WEAPON, & YOU BETTER RUN, were some definitive Pat Benatar tracks from the decade that was the 8o's. Power, beauty and rock solid, you could always depend on Pat and guitarist/ husband, Neil Geraldo to bring their best with each album. This song was born in 1983, which a lot of songs shared DNA with the Michael Jackson sound as it was the most popular at the time. Songs like CARIBBEAN QUEEN by Billy Ocean, SWEAR by Sheena Easton, SHE BOP by Cyndi Lauper and others rode that wave. Now, how about ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER by the Fixx or MANIAC by Michael Sembello, which is from the movie FLASHDANCE.

The song Heartbreaker established her as a bona fid rock star.

Have you heard about Maria Cary she has an amazing voice here songs Vision of love, Hero and Dream lover are a few of them.

I saw that guy in bootie shorts in beat it video by MJ. must be a renown dancer.

Michael Peters (choreographer) was the guy who had the crop shirt & the booty shorts. 🤣...He did this video, Michael Jackson's beat it & thriller.

I need some more 80s moves cracked me up

Madonna said herself a long time ago - "I am not the best singer, I am not the best dancer, I am not the best entertainer - but I can do them all well." That is why her concerts were fantastic. She combined them all in a way that was always new and different and breaking some sort of norm. Yeah, in the 80s, most entertainers did start out in an effort to shock or sell sex or to push boundaries to get ahead. But in order to have staying power, they had to adapt and have talent to last. Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, etc. If they didn't, they flamed out quickly. Pat Benatar was someone who said she wouldn't play the game of shock and awe. She was a classically trained singer in opera - she and hubby Neil G. just trucked on based on the power of her golden pipes and his rocking guitar licks. They still have that power all this time later. Songs like Promises in the Dark, Hell is for Children, Heartbreaker, Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Treat Me Right are great places to start! I totally loved songs throughout her long career - fantastic singer and great role model.

I first heard this song in the movie, The Legend Of Billie Jean.

I love this song, timelesssssss. When i was young, instead of killin eachother we had a dance off lol, breakdancing. :D

Movie was called 13 Going on 30 with Jennifer Gardner

She has "Invincible" from the movie soundtrack "The Legend of Billie Jean" You two nailed it with the Michael Jackson Beat It connection. This video came out shortly after Beat It. Pat was enormous and why she's fallen off public awareness I don't understand. Her hits include: All Fired Up (my favorite), Hit Me With Your Best Shot, We Belong, Shadows Of The Night, Heartbreaker, Outlaw Blues, Invincible, Promises In The Dark, Anxiety (Get Nervous), One Love, We Live For Love, Hell Is For Children, Fire And Ice, My Clone Sleeps Alone, Treat Me Right, Le Bel Age, Wuthering Heights, Stop Using Sex As A Weapon, and Strawberry Wine.

Pat and her very talented guitarist-husband wrote a lot of songs about really important issues, like domestic abuse etc. Thanks for acknowledging the difference between a singer with no FX, and players really playing instruments in real time, vs stuff programmed on computers or pre-built before a show. The former is like the latter with an added layer of considerable difficulty.

​@@DashcamRiprock Now that you mention it, I now recall that was the song. When I saw the clip, I wondered how Pat's lyrics fit that part of the movie, but let it go. So thanks for the head's up. I'll edit my original comment.

I love Pat Benatar, and i saw her twice. she has a lot of really good songs.Looks and image have always mattered, but back in the day, before music was made on computers, if you wanted your songs to sound good, somebody had to play those instruments. Somebody had to play those guitars & bass & drums & keyboards, and they had to play perfectly through the whole song for it to sound professional, there was no copy & paste, and already made up drum beats, and stuff like that, and of course there was no auto-tune for vocals, its not that nobody has talent these days, but you can become a star without it, because the computers do all the work. Frankly I don't give a shit what computers can do, I'm impressed by people who can actually play an instrument or sing

The queen bee. Do We Belong and all the others lol. She can sang

Please react to Pat Benatar - Hell is for Children -Heartbreaker -We Belong to the Night -Thanks!!!

Promises in the Dark! Then, Hell is for Children. This song does NOT showcase her voice. She was just inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! Definitely check those songs out before the ceremony.

I love you guys reaction to pat benetar

Not one that shows off Pat’s amazing voice. Check out Promises in the dark or All fired up!!

My 1st cassetts as a kid were for Christmas, I has asked for: Queen's The Game, KISS Unmasked and Par Benatar's Crimes of Passion. I played all of them to death! I've seen Two of those three live a few times. KISS was fantastic! And Pat is simply Amazing! She still sound just as good to this day. Well, before Covid when I saw her last. You should do a reaction to "Shadows of the Night. " Phenix song and Video. There are two actors who are VERY famous in that video. They weren't back then. Come back and se3 who you found.

The guy in the white shorts is a dancer. He has been in Michael Jackson's, and Lionel Richie's videos.

You can see the Madonna & Cindi Lauper influence in the clothes and hair

P.S. After I saw the reaction I looked the song on Wikipedia the song was DEFINITELY Not in any movie 🎥 but it did say it was in some tv shows!

It was only about 5 years ago that I realized that her dad in this video is Nathan Arizona.

If you've ever seen the movie 13 going on 30 with Jennifer Garner they sing a nice portion of this song 😍🎤

NOBODYYYYYYY HAD A BETTER SINGING VOICE THAN ( JONI MITCHELL ) :) BUT PAT WAS A 70'S ROCKER AND SHE HAD A BUNCH OF GREAT HITS :) HIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT, FIRE AND ICE, TREAT ME RIGHT, AND MORE
