Pat Benatar won’t perform her 1980 classic “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” anymore.
Amid ongoing gun violence in America, the singer says she’s come to view the song differently.
“I’m not going to sing it,” Benatar told USA Today.
While the song’s meaning is about strength and resiliency, Benatar said “you have to draw the line” and be aware of lyrics.
“I can’t say those words out loud with a smile on my face, I just can’t,” Benatar said, adding that the decision is her “small contribution to protesting.”
**SNIP**
Benatar said she will continue perform “We Belong,” “Heartbreaker” and other hits from early in her career. “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the singer’s first Top 10 hit.

How brave of she
How about “Love is a Battlefield”? And then there’s the “Shadows of the Night” video (with Judge Reinhold in it) in which she fights the Nazis.
That has-been is still alive?
B level rock band at best ..

The ghey is strong…
I bet it’s secretly a protest against mandated COVID shot for infants.
I would have thought she quit that song because of it’s implied violence to women. Even though it’s a good tune, I can see how someone would focus on that aspect first.
It used to be much more common and accepted to joke about wife beating. Think of the Honeymooner’s famous line:
“To the Moon, Alice!” the whole audience had a good chuckle.
I thought it was because those consonants blew her dentures out!
WGAF?🙄
😂 what an idiot.
I appreciate her concern, but does she really believe anyone said “That’s it. I’m going to shoot someone.” after listening to that song.
Oh you poor snowflake.
Hey everybody, I want to be relevant again. Oh brother.
Alrighty then.
Why would I care?
She must sound awful now.
Wait! Shes still alive? Who knew?
