Wonderful pop rock hit and fine music video that goes along with it.

Was a Benatar fan and I remember this big hit growing up in 1983 it was called "Love Is a Battlefield" and those words ring so true and the music video goes along with this song so well. It features Pat as a young girl going away from home and mom and dad to the big city to get started and along the way she's sidetracked into an early world of working at a club as a dancer. Only soon Pat takes charge and stands up and fights for love, respect, and pride! Hey everything is a battlefield! Well done music video.
