She's a good Polish girl!

Benatar was before my time, but I’m incredibly nostalgic! The recent film that revived my interest in the song was from Pamela Anderson’s final dance scene in “The Last Showgirl” (2024) - unfortunately it’s still heavily copyrighted and so the clip is not avail on Youtube.

It’s truly amazing how many things CAN’T be shown on YouTube. Normally, when you upload something like that, it warns you not to but there are no consequences for trying. Bob Dylan, Billy Joel, etc are whole categories that can’t be given permission.

But I am SO grateful to YouTube that they’ve done the work to make so much that would be copyrighted able to be used by giving away the advertising to the copyright owner. Any ads on my channel belong to the video and music owners and none go to me. Which is perfectly fine as I’m so grateful to be allowed to post derivative works at all as my own art.

One of the greatest pop/rock vocalists in history. Maybe only eclipsed by Ann Wilson.

My favorite Heart song though is sung by Nancy “These Dreams”

And one of my favorite Ann performances was HER *cover* of Led Zep’s “Stairway”

Great song. The video was cute back when videos were neat little mini-movies, that often had no relationship to the lyrics of the song.

She went woke as well. Refuses to play Hit Me With Your Best Shot, cause she claims that it might make abuse victims upset.

Isn’t the song “Hell is for Children” about child abuse?

which I prefer to the posted song by Pat Benatar.

That’s a good song too. My friend had it on a playlist shared with me.

Don’t expect sense with woke? I saw the interview. She also said how much she hated being made a sex symbol by the record label and objectivization.
