Exactly. A stupid attempt to mollify morons.

That said.....best video of her. Hubba!

[SpaceBar]

She’s a virtue signalling idiot.

[real saxophonist]

Speaking of now defunct minor league hockey teams, the Macon Whoopie wins the championship for best team name.

[Billthedrill]

Uh huh. And Elvis is no longer singing “Hunka Burnin’ Love” to protest the STD crisis.

[srmanuel]

I’m surprised she’s still singing at all, I thought she might have assumed room temperature.

[libertylover]

Isn’t that sweet?

[windsorknot]

Saying nothing would have been the best approach, and if someone actually complained, Pat could have shut them down by stating the obvious intent of the song. “Bite me!”, would have been appropriate.

[Rummyfan]

I'm shocked. SHOCKED! That Pat Benatar is still touring.

[Dr. Sivana]

It used to be much more common and accepted to joke about wife beating.

Yes. Like drunkenness, it was caricatured for comedic effect.

In all directions:

[Ex gun maker.]

Who?
Never bought anything from them, never will.

[Mouton]

Hey Pat, 1980 was 32 years ago. I am long retired from the job I began then, you should too.

THE FUNNY PART? Here in So California, She mostly sings at Indian casinos to avoid taxes for concerts.

Hypocrite. At least Seinfeld states why he does it.

[rollo tomasi]

I thought that double entendre referred something a lot of men in the 80’s wanted to try on or in various parts of her body.

[LittleBillyInfidel]

So much for artistry. If she had an ounce of creativity, she could just modify the lyrics.

Jab me with your clot shot. I said, jab me with your clot shot! Jab me with your clot shot, Fauci would say!

See? That took two whole seconds and it's just as lame. Sheeesh.

[Bshaw]

“Pat Benatar has stopped singing ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ in protest of gun violence...]

I have long since stopped listening to Pat Benatar, so without this article, I would have never known.

[nesnah]

How do we know that this song is truly about ‘gunfire’?

[gloryblaze]

Actually, she’s quite busy.

Someone should tell Pat Benatar that "hitting someone with your best shot" has NOTHING to do with guns or firearms.

Zero, zip, zilch.

However, her brain may have become a black hole, allowing no knowledge to escape...

[Charles Martel]

Hypocrite.

I'll bet she didn't refuse the money from the use of one of her tunes in the car chase scene of 2021's Nobody (Bob Odenkirk action movie, sort of a low-rent, grittier John Wick). LOTS of guns in that scene.
