A nuclear-powered pipe organ would be eclipsed by Ms. Benatar's voice, and after all these years she is hotter than molten lava.

On one hand: Martina is no joke and has made her bones in a tough business on her own. On the other hand: it's cool watching her 'fan-girl' for an effin' legendary woman and voice.

Notice that during the second chorus Martina starts to sing along and then just gives up and watches PB elevate the song.
