Pat Benatar (born 1953) is a rock singer. She is one of the top-selling female vocalists of all time, with sales of over 13 million copies in the US alone. Her best-known songs include "Love Is a Battlefield" and "Hit Me With Your Best Shot."
Line 9 ⟶ 10:
She is unusual among pop stars in that she was operatically trained before switching to hard rock.
* ''In the Heat of the Night'' (1979)
* ''Crimes of Passion'' (1980)
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
* [[The Cover Changes the Gender]]: "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" was clearly written as a song to be sung by a man, and clumsily gender-switched.
* [[Cultural Rebel]]: Another Carole King, Barbra Streisand, or Karen Carpenter? Nope! This girl performs ''hard'' rock!
* [[Classically-Trained Extra|Classically-Trained Rocker]]: Formally trained as an opera singer before she switched to rock.
* [[Cut Himself Shaving]]: "Hell Is For Children" has the line "Tell grandma you fell off the swing".
* [[Dancing Is Serious Business]]: In the music video for "Love Is a Battlefield".
* [[Dawson Casting]]: She played a teenage runaway in the "Love Is a Battlefield" video when she was 30 years old, and in that song she repeatedly sings about how "we are young".
* [[Determinator]]: "Invincible"
* [[Genre Adultery]]: ''True Love'', a jump blues album.
* [[Hide Your Pregnancy]]: Attempted in the video for "We Belong", with a big drapey white jacket.
* [[Kids Rock]]: "We Belong" has a children's chorus at the end.
* [[Lyrics Video Mismatch]]: "Shadows Of The Night": she's a WWII flying ace.
