The song was on the movie The Legend of Billie Jean. Some of the footage on the video is from the movie. It was filmed partly in Selena's home town of Corpus Christi. Those mall shots are of a mall long gone but you can still see 80s when they run through it. This movie was in the tradition of those that you mention. It probably would be worth a watch on a night you have time.
THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLATED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE Hello. I am old and have Zero Idea how to do Instagram, or your other site. 1 person that you have Never played was My 1st guitar hero of the mid 1970s. His name was TOMMY BOLIN. He, sadly, passed away in December of 1976 of a drug overdose. I was 17 and his death Crushed My World for quite a While. I would LOVE to see/watch your reaction to "Dreamer" Studio version off of the Album "Teaser". Also, MY Favorite Tommy Bolin song is "Wild Dogs" also off of his 1st solo album, "Teaser". Also, a Great jamm song off of his 2nd solo Album, ''Private Eyes'', is the track titled "Post Toastee". Everyone gets to Show Off a Bit On "Post Toastee". IF you love songs with Great Dynamics from slow, sparse, beautiful and melodic to- Boom, rocking out in a flash, and then BOOM- right back to soft and mellow, then "Dreamer" is for you. I would recommend the regular studio audio of all. Thank you. I Love watching your Reactions! When you read it, just Look at ALL he did in a Very Short Time. More than a Lot of Artists/Bands do in their entire Career... @Jamel_AKA_Jamal : Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
When I was professionally powerlifting I used to listen to the beginning of that song before I would go into my squat lift. The harmonization of her and that other singer just always brought me to another level
So did I!😃 about maybe 10yrs ago?! She was super nice! And yes, a small girl but can really belt it out! Did she sing “lay down” for you guys? Talk about an explosive voice!✌️😃
Promises in the Dark is my fave too. Hell is For Children is probably the one I think I want him to watch most, but there really are no wrong answers as long as he keeps reacting to Pat Benatar
Promises in the dark is a beautiful song but hell is for children will probably make him cry. Crazy how people thought that song was actually damning children instead of listening to the song and hearing how anti child abuse it was.
I got that cut too! 😆 When I was a kid and seen this movie I had hair long enough to sit on. I swore that when i grew up, I'd cut my hair like her...and I did!
Pat should be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame! Great back story on how she/her husband met. I love them as a couple. Btw, they both still look Great & their daughters of course are beautiful too. Check out Professor of Rock for her full story!
Hell Is For Children is a must Jamel. Was a big hit. Rock song about child abuse, powerful lyrics. Her voice absolutely rips on it, and there's amazing guitar work too.
She is an influential woman of greatness who the RRHOF has yet to acknowledge. Please correct their mistake. She deserves the credit. Vote for Pat Benetar.
The movie is worth watching. A slice of the early 80s on the south Texas coast. You'll recognize a lot of the actors and one of the actor's voices more than the face.
Pat Benatar "Promises In The Dark" is a groundbreaking vocal powerhouse must see, Jamel. It is one of my favorite songs of all times. You are literally just scratching the surface of Benatar until you go back into her very first albums of raw powerhouse rock. Invincible is much later than her initial rock beginnings. You would be shocked after seeing this Invincible video to go back & hear her song "Hell Is For Children". If I remember correctly, she was either pregnant with their first child during this video or had just had her. That greatly altered how she wanted to be seen & perceived. She no longer wanted to be seen as a sex symbol & actually stood up to record execs about just that during this particular time frame.
This song was used as the Main Theme to The Legend of Billie Jean". No, it is not related to the MJ song. The movie came out in the 80's starring Helen Slater. Not bad, a girl was assaulted and beat up her assailant who framed her for robbery.
The movie was filmed in my hometown, Corpus Christi TX. I was in Jr high at the time. Pat Benatar is so awesome. She should be in the Rock N Roll hall of fame. Married to her guitar player, Neil Geraldo, for many years. “Precious Time” is one of may faves and that song had a killer guitar solo.
The movie is vary good it's called the Legend of Billie Jean it's about a group of teenagers in Texas that have to go on the run from the law after Billie jean and her brother are accused of a crime they did not do. It is what started my love of Pat's music as a kid.
First time I heard that song, it got to the end and I could hear the way the melody was heading. I thought "No she's not really aiming for that note!" BLAM! She sure was, and hit it as smoothly and clearly as a silver bell. It is an absolute crime that she's not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
One of my wife’s favorite songs from one of her favorite movies. The movie is about a young girl (Billie Jean) publicly fighting back against a sleazy local business owner and his son. It had a lot more going on than most teen movies of the 80’s. Id say worth watching for sure 🤘Apparently Pat Benatar _hates_ the movie tho 😆
I watched a commentary of Pat's videos by Pat & Spider. It's not that she hated the movie; she didn't remember a lot of it. When this video came up, she really didn't remember.
Most under recognized and greatest vocalist of all times. End of story no argument. Listen to her whole repertoire of work and I think many of you will agree
The 1st time i heard Hell is for Children it pissed me off, severely. I had a couple friends who'd had a rough childhood. I couldn't and still can't understand how you could hurt a child or a woman. Especially your own. But it is a great song. I saw her live in the late 70's, she was opening for a band i don't remember but i remember her. My mother was only 5 ft nothing, about the same size, i couldn't believe how strong her voice was. She amazed the whole crowd the primary band was kind of a let down after her. Don't get me wrong, i was a child of the 60's and the son of a hillbilly coal miner as were most kids in our neighborhood and it was common for a parent to take a belt or switch to your little ass. I admit i was a little bastard if there was a problem i was usually close. It started as young as when i was 2 years old and my father, who was painting the house and set an open can of paint near me and walked away. I don't remember it but I've had numerous relatives tell me the story because a couple some of them had to help. It seems they left me alone long enough to paint the fender and trunk lid. Sadly it was my parents 1st new car. Actually i didn't get even a smack because by the time Pap and friends got the paint off the car and Ma got the paint off me they were starting to see the humor in it and i wouldn't have even known why i got smacked. But later i only got a whipping i deserved it except for a couple times my cousins lied, so i beat their asses later. I was raised that you never hit a woman or a child or even animals. It's a family trait but for someone to do that to any child or spouse is totally unforgivable. In my opinion if it's a male you lose your man card if they're female you should lose your kids and be sterilized so you can't breed again. We don't need people like that in the gene pool. While yer at de nut the men too, not a vasectomy, complete de nut.
This song became Pat's third of her four top 10 hits from the Billboard Hot 100 chart of her career. The song peaked at No.10 during the late summer of 1985. It is one of my favorite songs by Pat. Kick-ass indeed!!!
Pat Benatar had some chops. She was a trained opera singer who loved rock & roll. The movie "Legend of Billie Jean." is worth watching. It features a very young Christian Slater.
But the guitar part changes up always which makes listening to the whole song to the end worthwhile. The guitar solo feels like it is being forced out of the guitar.
Shadows of the Night and We Belong are 2 great ones and my absolute fave by her has always been Fire and Ice! She has so many awesome songs! Keep On Rockin`
The Legend of Billie Jean is absolutely worth a watch! Definitely should check out more Pat Benatar like Hell is for Children; Fire and Ice; We Belong; Promises in the Dark; You Better Run. Oh so many songs to listen to!
Now you need to do Hell is For Children, Promises in the Dark, Wuthering Heights. The woman has an awesome vocal range which really gets showcased in Wuthering Heights!!!
YES!!! YOU FINALLY REACTED TO IT!! :) And Yes the Legend Of Billie Jean is an AWESOME movie! Seen it a thousand times! And yes you pronounced my name perfectly :)
Pat Benatar.. love is a battlefield. Heart, theres the girl. Alannah Myles just one kiss. Being 18 with this music and a 21 year old nymphomaniac girlfriend in Cornwall England. So many places where not many people are around. Public display of affection doesn't come close to explaining what we did. Amazing memories of these songs and this era. Lady rock.
The Legend of Billie Jean was filmed in 1984-85.. It's very good film, even tho it was a teen film, they don't make them like this anymore. Very good message in the film, very anti-establishment, anti-power..
She’s a trained opera singer and inspired most of the current female singers performing today from Pink to Ariana Grande Pat is a Legend who rocked hard and she’s on every girls workout playlist
It was a pretty cool movie made in the 80s that stars Christian Slater and Helen Slater and was filmed in my city. The garage part after running through the mall was filmed in my office garage and it isn’t attached to the mall. Actually the mall and the garage are far apart from each other. Oh yeah….forgot that you know of my city, the home of Selena (Corpus Christi).
"Fair is Fair!" The movie is pretty good. Poor kids versus the rich. Scumbag father trying to get the young high school girl to sleep with him. So a manhunt for the poor kids ensues.
Oh yes! I didn't recognize this song just from the title, but as soon as I heard the hook I realized I had heard it a few times. Not among her biggest hits like "Hit me Your Best Shot" or "Love is a Battlefield" but a minor hit I guess.
@@dawnwilloughby249 You would think you would go to Wiki before posting. It actually goes out of the way to say they are not related. Helen is Jewish from Great Neck. Christian is from the city. Both went to the same High School of the Preforming Arts. Helen is 6 years older.
One of the tracks in Legend of Billie Jean, played by Helen Slater, Christian Slater's Sister. He also played her brother in the movie as well. I liked it!! Definitely an '80s flick, but worth the watch. Cool song!! 👍❤☺
" The legend of Billy Jean " is a badass movie from the 80's. Starring Helen Slater & brother Christian Slater plays her brother. Helen commanded the role & will steal your heart with her performance !! Worth watching !!!
The literal opposite of what this song is about, that's sad. This song is about fighting against the power of the state, not becoming a foot soldier of the state.
@@SuperDoNotWant I don’t give af about what you think the song is about. The words matched the pain in our hearts for what had been perpetrated against us. We could no longer afford to be innocent, our anger was justified and we were ready to take up arms to protect our country. That is the reality. I’d be willing to bet that you did not watch, in utter disbelief as the planes flew into those buildings and saw people that chose to jump to their death rather than be burned alive.
Pat Benatar has so many great songs. My favourite is Shadows of the Night. She also has a song called Hell is for Children which was the first song that tackled the issue of child abuse. Some people who didn't read into the lyrics took the song the wrong way because of the title and made a big deal about it. Some other great songs are Promises In The Dark, All Fired Up and Fire and Ice.
The song is featured in the first or second books of the *Legacy of the Aldenata* science fiction series by John Ringo. The leader of a Spec Ops team rushing into a confrontation with an alien horde plays it over his team's comms as traveling music. It's actually pretty epic.
Finally some Pat Benatar. I'm going to see her in concert in October finally after being postponed five times or at least it seems like it. She is the best female rock star singer ever ever ever ever!!!
Pat Benetar herself said during the concert of hers I went to that shes embarrassed her song is the theme song for the movie it was so bad, but I personally liked it, but I was also a kid and havent watched it as an adult...
I’m a musician and for years I’ve wanted to cover this song. For some reason, I could never find other musicians that were interested. But, I can’t help but feel that the chorus on this song is just powerful and anthemic. If this were...”metaled-up” just a little it could be epic
Hi Jamel. I'm not sure if you've done a reaction to them but a group that everyone might enjoy seeing is Yello. They are a Swiss group that writes a lot of Jazz and Latin-inspired alternative music. The track that most people know them for is "Oh Yeah" but I suggest listening to an even older track of theirs... "I Love You" or another old one... "The Race" and a new one... "Waba Duba". Happy listening!
If you haven't yet, you should react to We Belong, and Hell is for Children. Both are amazing songs, especially Hell is for Children, a very deep and powerful song to say the least.

Her 2 huge songs were "Hell is for Children" and "Love is a Battlefield"
THIS DEFINITELY IS ONE TO WIKIPEDIA 1ST. To See HOW MANY ALBUMS THAT HE PLATED ON IN LESS THAN ONE DECADE
Hello. I am old and have Zero Idea how to do Instagram, or your other site.

@Jamel_AKA_Jamal : Does That Make You Even a Little Intrigued??
The movie is very good. Legend of Billie jean
Shadows of the Night is my favorite song of Pat Benatar. She’s amazing 🤩
When I was professionally powerlifting I used to listen to the beginning of that song before I would go into my squat lift. The harmonization of her and that other singer just always brought me to another level
Seen her live.... she's a teeny tiny little thing, but her voice is HUGE.
So did I!😃 about maybe 10yrs ago?! She was super nice! And yes, a small girl but can really belt it out! Did she sing “lay down” for you guys? Talk about an explosive voice!✌️😃
She's been referred to as "The 5 foot giant". :D Love that!
@@sirkat344 me too! And I would have to agree!👍✌️
Me too 😁 First live concert as well 💥
When Pat returns to touring, it is a MUST go to concert. Neil is fantastic too
Best song "Promises in the Dark" and yes... Legend of Billy Jean. Watch it!!!
"Hell is for children" was the 1st song that got me into Pat Benatar ...she has alot of great songs
Promises in the Dark is my fave too. Hell is For Children is probably the one I think I want him to watch most, but there really are no wrong answers as long as he keeps reacting to Pat Benatar
Promises in the dark is a great song !!
Promises in the dark is a beautiful song but hell is for children will probably make him cry. Crazy how people thought that song was actually damning children instead of listening to the song and hearing how anti child abuse it was.
I have asked before for him to react to the live version of Promises in the Dark. She hits a note no one else tries.
She is a professionaly trained opera singer.
She is all around Amazing!!
With a four octave range
Pat Benatar , amazing vocal range, and great voice.
“Love is a battlefield” should be your next song of hers.
Took the words from me!! Gotta do that one so I can dance along.
Far and away her best effort. Perhaps on a shorter list of GOAT songs
Absolutely
Fire and Ice? Shadows of the Night? Hell is For Children? We Belong? Precious Time? She's got at least 10 songs better/stronger than Battlefield.
@@deemavo you make a good point. Certainly "We Belong" is right up there
this sister can STILL blow. one of the greatest rock vocalists out there, ms. benatar.
All Fired Up has a fast beat to it like this song. It's my all time favorite.
"Hit me with your Best Shot" and "Love is a Battlefield " are great ones to check out.
fun fact... she’s been married to the guitarist for like 40 years
She was pregnant in this video. Hence the reason why she only doing the two step dance.
also the young girl in the movie that joins the adventure goes on to Voice Lisa Simpson.
Actually 39 years ... 40 is next year for them (2022).
Neil Giraldo, her husband, is a phenomenal guitarist.
How sad is it that it needs to mentioned that a marriage lasts?
Pat! Her hair is still in style because I have it!
Her best vocal is: Fire and Ice.
I got that cut too! 😆 When I was a kid and seen this movie I had hair long enough to sit on. I swore that when i grew up, I'd cut my hair like her...and I did!
@@angelscribbles2525 Me too. Pixie cut in the 80’s and has been that way ever since. Love the simplicity!
The queen of rock and roll. I've seen her in concert 8 times. She puts on a great show. Listen to her blues music.
Pat should be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame! Great back story on how she/her husband met. I love them as a couple. Btw, they both still look Great & their daughters of course are beautiful too. Check out Professor of Rock for her full story!
I love The Legend of Billie Jean. It's kind of like if Thelma and Louise had been written by 14 year olds.
That movie was filmed in my city.
That’s the best description I’ve ever heard!
What a perfect summary of the movie, I’m stealing it if you don’t mind.
I saw it just one time on cable. I really liked it! Helen Slater was gorgeous there, and young Christian was good to see too!
@@Trish0871I was there during the beach scenes because I was working for Nueces at the time.
Her voice makes my arm hair stand and gives me chills.
You should check out 'Promises In The Dark, 'Shadows of the Night', and 'Hell Is For Children' by Pat Benetar.
Hell Is For Children is a must Jamel. Was a big hit. Rock song about child abuse, powerful lyrics. Her voice absolutely rips on it, and there's amazing guitar work too.
She is an influential woman of greatness who the RRHOF has yet to acknowledge. Please correct their mistake. She deserves the credit. Vote for Pat Benetar.
She had the most votes in 20 or 19 and STILL is not in!!! She needs to be in, so does Weird Al, Boston, Maiden and Survivor NOT NIN!!!
“Hell is for Children” and Promises in the Dark"
Definitely watch The Legend of Billie Jean. It’s a cult classic. “Fair is fair!”
plus it has a young teen actress in it, that would later become the voice of Lisa Simpson
@@maddogziggy love her
Lol
@@maddogziggy Lisa Simpson asking to get a diaphragm is one of my favorite moments in movie history.
No need to watch the movie...2 hours of your life that you'll never get back!
But, Pat's a Queen!
This was on my top 10 bangers of the 80’s mixed tape for years … still is on my Spotify ha ha ha
She was a powerhouse in the 80s. Great to grow up then with that music.
The movie is worth watching. A slice of the early 80s on the south Texas coast. You'll recognize a lot of the actors and one of the actor's voices more than the face.
Lisa Simpson is in there. The actress that does her voice, sorry I forgot her name.
@@markusantonio4866 Yeardly Smith.

It was a decent movie back in the day - Legend of Billie Jean if I remember correctly...
Great movie
Watched it today after seeing this reaction. Loved this movie as a kid, don’t know how many times I’ve seen it.
I looooooooooove Pat Benatar!!! Huge crush on her back in the day.
Promises in the Dark
and
Precious Time
Pat Benetar never disappoints. Thank you.

I got my first Pat Benatar album in 3rd grade! Love her voice! I’m a choir girl and respect her range!
The movie was filmed in my hometown, Corpus Christi TX. I was in Jr high at the time. Pat Benatar is so awesome. She should be in the Rock N Roll hall of fame. Married to her guitar player, Neil Geraldo, for many years. “Precious Time” is one of may faves and that song had a killer guitar solo.
I was going to Soth Park at the time
For more great Pat Benatar, check out "Shadows of the Night", "Love is a Battlefield", "We Belong", and "Promises in the Dark"
All great songs. I would add Fire and Ice.
Benatar was a good listen in High School. Weird that I still remember most of the words to this song, but I did play the heck out of her albums.
The movie is vary good it's called the Legend of Billie Jean it's about a group of teenagers in Texas that have to go on the run from the law after Billie jean and her brother are accused of a crime they did not do. It is what started my love of Pat's music as a kid.

Great movie. One of my favorites when I was younger. It still holds up real well.
Bet she didn't hate cashing the checks she got from that movie, though....
I watched a commentary of Pat's videos by Pat & Spider. It's not that she hated the movie; she didn't remember a lot of it. When this video came up, she really didn't remember.
Awesome! You gotta do "Hell Is For Children" by her. Crazy deep song.
And with the intro "Sweet Melissa".
Deep song about child abuse
Fun Fact: Yeardly Smith aka Lisa Simpson was in the movie The Legend Of Billy Jean.
She was so good in that.
Most under recognized and greatest vocalist of all times. End of story no argument. Listen to her whole repertoire of work and I think many of you will agree
Always did like Pat Benatar's hard driving rock. Thanks for taking me back. And Please check out LInda Rhonstadt's "What's New?"
Her song ...you better run ..is one hell of a good one
The bookend for “Hell is for Children” is on “Wide Awake in Dreamland”. The song is “Suffer the Little Children”, it is worth the listen.
I agree, "Hell is for Children" is a must listen. My childhood, sadly.
she should done video for hell is for children the song is fire !!
The 1st time i heard Hell is for Children it pissed me off, severely. I had a couple friends who'd had a rough childhood. I couldn't and still can't understand how you could hurt a child or a woman.

Pat Benatar - Anxiety - Love is a Battlefield - We Belong - Heartbreaker - Fire and Ice - Shadows of the Night
That was one of my favorite movies back in High School!!!! WATCH IT!!! lol...I still catch it now and then..
This song became Pat's third of her four top 10 hits from the Billboard Hot 100 chart of her career. The song peaked at No.10 during the late summer of 1985. It is one of my favorite songs by Pat. Kick-ass indeed!!!
She was heavily pregnant during the filming of this video... They have her wearing a long coat to help cover the baby bump
Lets get some votes to introduce this guy to the Alabam Shakes at once.
I’m down with that- great band.
Hold on especially.
Yes! Also, he needs to react to Brittney Howard's solo material.
He’s gotta listen to Black Keys and Greta Van Fleet
Black Keys yes. He’s already reacted to Zeppelin so why should he check out Greta?
Summer/Fall 1985! So good.
Pat Benatar had some chops. She was a trained opera singer who loved rock & roll. The movie "Legend of Billie Jean." is worth watching. It features a very young Christian Slater.
Please do her "Shadows of the Night". Her husband plays an interesting guitar solo - especially the last 1/16th second.
That is a good song, but the end chorus is repeated like 57x!
But the guitar part changes up always which makes listening to the whole song to the end worthwhile. The guitar solo feels like it is being forced out of the guitar.
Legend of Billie Jean is an under- rated film - well worth watching!
Shadows of the Night and We Belong are 2 great ones and my absolute fave by her has always been Fire and Ice! She has so many awesome songs! Keep On Rockin`
Promises in the dark and fire and ice are a couple of great ones from her also.
The Legend of Billie Jean is absolutely worth a watch! Definitely should check out more Pat Benatar like Hell is for Children; Fire and Ice; We Belong; Promises in the Dark; You Better Run. Oh so many songs to listen to!
Yes should watch the movie. The song was written for the movie and all ties in.
Not sure if you've got more Pat Benatar on tap, but I'd recommend giving her song "Sex as a Weapon" a listen.
i would recommend rated x
Not her best song, but by far her best video.
Now you need to do Hell is For Children, Promises in the Dark, Wuthering Heights. The woman has an awesome vocal range which really gets showcased in Wuthering Heights!!!
YES!!! YOU FINALLY REACTED TO IT!! :) And Yes the Legend Of Billie Jean is an AWESOME movie! Seen it a thousand times! And yes you pronounced my name perfectly :)
Pat Benatar.. love is a battlefield. Heart, theres the girl. Alannah Myles just one kiss. Being 18 with this music and a 21 year old nymphomaniac girlfriend in Cornwall England. So many places where not many people are around. Public display of affection doesn't come close to explaining what we did. Amazing memories of these songs and this era. Lady rock.
The Legend of Billie Jean...young Christian Slater, and his sister Helen plays Billie Jean. Excellent '80s movie!
Legendary female vocalist ❤️❤️
Jamal, Pat Benatar with all of her hits, she as only one number 1 song, Love Is a Battlefield, you might want to check her out.
The Legend of Billie Jean was filmed in 1984-85.. It's very good film, even tho it was a teen film, they don't make them like this anymore. Very good message in the film, very anti-establishment, anti-power..
She’s a trained opera singer and inspired most of the current female singers performing today from Pink to Ariana Grande Pat is a Legend who rocked hard and she’s on every girls workout playlist
It was a pretty cool movie made in the 80s that stars Christian Slater and Helen Slater and was filmed in my city.

Pat was a say-something singer. there was always a message of strength and overcoming in her music.
"Fair is Fair!" The movie is pretty good. Poor kids versus the rich. Scumbag father trying to get the young high school girl to sleep with him. So a manhunt for the poor kids ensues.
I remember the movie being very good
Love this song, Jamel! From one of my favorite 80s flicks. Nice little bday present for me, lol. You rock, like Benatar.
Oh yes! I didn't recognize this song just from the title, but as soon as I heard the hook I realized I had heard it a few times. Not among her biggest hits like "Hit me Your Best Shot" or "Love is a Battlefield" but a minor hit I guess.
Funny it reminds you of "Beat It" and it's from a movie called The Legend of Billie Jean. I think the star, Helen Slater, went on to play Supergirl.
I haven't heard this song in such a long time but somehow I still remember all the lyrics. Takes me straight back to high school!
opera singer that belts out ROCK!!! Love it!!
"We will be invincible!" ... perfect anthem for today - National Cancer Survivors Day (always the first Sunday in June) #NCSD2021 #longtermsurvivor
Billie Jean was a BADASS!! You should really watch the movie!! This is my favorite Song by her!! No ties to MJ’s Billy Jean.
This was Christian Slater's first film. I always had a crush on Helen Slater (NO Relation).
They are brother and sister in real life.
@Dawn...no they weren't related. They just have the same last name.
@@dawnwilloughby249 You would think you would go to Wiki before posting. It actually goes out of the way to say they are not related. Helen is Jewish from Great Neck. Christian is from the city. Both went to the same High School of the Preforming Arts. Helen is 6 years older.
One of the tracks in Legend of Billie Jean, played by Helen Slater, Christian Slater's Sister. He also played her brother in the movie as well. I liked it!! Definitely an '80s flick, but worth the watch. Cool song!! 👍❤☺
Helen and Christian are not related.
@@maxhammer8676 I stand corrected! You're right. Her sibling is David Slater. Thanks!! 👍☺😉
Now you just have to react to Benjamin Orr's "Stay The Night" and Blackfoot's "Highway Song" :)
Yes yes yes!!!!
HIGHWAY SONG.
Nice reaction, so many hits with Pat. All fired Up, We Belong, Shadows of the Night, Promises in the Dark, and so many more!
" The legend of Billy Jean " is a badass movie from the 80's. Starring Helen Slater & brother Christian Slater plays her brother. Helen commanded the role & will steal your heart with her performance !! Worth watching !!!
"Is this movie worth watching?"
YES
Man what an awesome voice.
Back in 2001, after 9/11, this was an anthem for those waiting in lines to enlist in the various branches of the armed forces.

The literal opposite of what this song is about, that's sad. This song is about fighting against the power of the state, not becoming a foot soldier of the state.
@@SuperDoNotWant I don’t give af about what you think the song is about. The words matched the pain in our hearts for what had been perpetrated against us. We could no longer afford to be innocent, our anger was justified and we were ready to take up arms to protect our country.
That is the reality. I’d be willing to bet that you did not watch, in utter disbelief as the planes flew into those buildings and saw people that chose to jump to their death rather than be burned alive.
Absolutely 💯, a theme for us all.
One of my favorite movies from the 80's. So in my opinion, yes it's worth watching.
Pat Benatar has so many great songs. My favourite is Shadows of the Night. She also has a song called Hell is for Children which was the first song that tackled the issue of child abuse. Some people who didn't read into the lyrics took the song the wrong way because of the title and made a big deal about it. Some other great songs are Promises In The Dark, All Fired Up and Fire and Ice.
The song is featured in the first or second books of the *Legacy of the Aldenata* science fiction series by John Ringo. The leader of a Spec Ops team rushing into a confrontation with an alien horde plays it over his team's comms as traveling music. It's actually pretty epic.
"The Legend Of Billie Jean" is so worth watching.
Yes! So happy to see you do this one! I loved this movie back in the 80’s.
Would love to see you react to “We Belong” next. 🤗
It is a good movie. It has Helen and a young Christian Slater in it. Helen is his sister
I went to some concert maybe ten years ago. I don't remember who the hell it was but Pat Benatar opened and she killed it! Awesome.
Finally some Pat Benatar. I'm going to see her in concert in October finally after being postponed five times or at least it seems like it. She is the best female rock star singer ever ever ever ever!!!
Pat Benetar herself said during the concert of hers I went to that shes embarrassed her song is the theme song for the movie it was so bad, but I personally liked it, but I was also a kid and havent watched it as an adult...
That's a shame because its a good movie as an adult now. Sure it has its cheesy 80's moments but i still have a good time watching it
I bet she would change her mind now. The movie theme and song are very relevant.
@@zenseed75 possibly.
I wish someone would react to her song "All Fired Up" as it is my favorite song of hers. A real get you moving tune!!!🤘
My favorite PB song.
React to “hell is for children” by Pat Benatar
I think, I THINK this may be Pat Benatar's best song in a long list of great songs imo.
My favorite 80's movie and song. Yes, I highly recommend watching it.
Thx for the memory. I saw her in concert in Germany in 1982, it was awesome! 🎧🎶
I’m a musician and for years I’ve wanted to cover this song. For some reason, I could never find other musicians that were interested. But, I can’t help but feel that the chorus on this song is just powerful and anthemic. If this were...”metaled-up” just a little it could be epic
Hi Jamel. I'm not sure if you've done a reaction to them but a group that everyone might enjoy seeing is Yello. They are a Swiss group that writes a lot of Jazz and Latin-inspired alternative music. The track that most people know them for is "Oh Yeah" but I suggest listening to an even older track of theirs... "I Love You" or another old one... "The Race" and a new one... "Waba Duba". Happy listening!
If you haven't yet, you should react to We Belong, and Hell is for Children. Both are amazing songs, especially Hell is for Children, a very deep and powerful song to say the least.
You should hear
Love is a battlefield next
Her voice is legendary
Thank you brother Jam 💜
