I loved Pat Bentar's music from the first time I heard it. Her debut album didn't hit all that hard when it was first released, but it climbed to #12 on the Billboard chart in 1980, and was certified Platinum in that year. So they got a bit more exposure with the 2nd album, which contained today's song, and her signature hit, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
This song was apparently controversial in 1980, but I missed that entirely. I only saw her in concert once, and it was probably for the Get Nervous tour.
This is "Hell Is For Children" by Pat Benetar from her 1980 album Crimes of Passion. Though this is the remastered version from 2005.
I was reminded of this song by Social Media. It is okay if you can avoid the worst of the insanity, and it does make you want to doom scroll, but that is how they make money.
