Benatar, Pat - Sex As A Weapon Lyrics

livin on a prayer part 2

SEX IS WONDERFUL IS THE MOST FABULOUS NATURAL DRUG OF HUMAN BEING SEX MOVES IT ALL SEX SELLS IT ALL ........ MMMMMM OHHH YEAAAA BABY .....

Benatar snubbed by the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame 2020

Ohmigosh, so much 80s! Retro-yo!

Bond...00bc-2099@d...&...lv Gary Kasper... hkls-vkng

Could we assume Madonna got her gold cone bra idea for her Blonde Ambition tour from 2:20?

One of her most underrated songs... What I wouldn’t give to go back to those days...

So annoyed this wasn't included on my Greatest Hits CD. I know it wasn't a top hit for Pat but still...

Blasting my air guitar and singing into my curling iron while watching my bad ass self in the mirror..Just like the good ole days.

Pat Benatar is the best singer of all time, it is unfair that she is not incomprehensible in the hall of fame, the queen of rock .........

When watching this video did you notice a part in the video was used for MTV's 120 minutes

MTV Flashback Top 20 Countdown December 13 1985 - YES 34 years ago #12 ( VHS tape edited to 34 minutes top 12 partial )

If you grew up in the '80s... you were SO lucky. Best decade ever.

No way she should not be in HOF....vote! DMB is a joke

Amazing era of music to grow up in.

FINALLY!!! THIS ROCK GODDESS IS NOMINATED FOR THE ROCK-N-ROLL HALL OF FAME!!! She deserves to get in!!! I love love love her!!!

Add *DON'T WALK AWAY* official video, please

I'm gonna have fun tonight

This was a song way ahead of its time. Pat Benatar is a singer ahead of her time. She fought behind the scenes to open up music to women. She's a living Hall of Fame.

No qualms about using sex as a marketing tool though, I see.

flawless... and I always have loved the muscle boy in the video

My favorite from pat she rarely sings this song in concert one of her best

Great song, sexy singer.
Director: Daniel Kleinmann, who was 7 times responsible for the title sequence of the last 8 Bond movies!

Wow! Wow! WOW! HUGE crush on such a talented and beautiful vocalist! Still haven't gotten to see them in concert yet! *sigh* I'd probably go ga-ga and just pass out anyway.

Why John weissmuller at 1.21 leave Tarzan in peace

Wow, I mean I totally forgot about this one...and you know what? It beats anything new today :) Pat is a legend

Loved pat since childhood im 41 now i still think she one of the most kick ass women rockers around.

Still sounds as good today (September 2019), anyone with me

Just what I keep telling my wife.

Low views for likely they're most intelligent song and most creative video. Both ahead of their time. When it came out MTV feared this video..taking the band's message the wrong way, leading to hiding it a bit from viewers. The way pat Benatar quickly appears & quickly vanishes as another Pat appears beside her while endless monitors play scenes behind her. Noone else was doing this in videos that I recall. Heavy metal mostly dominated during this period ...generally featuring cliche , inexpensive videos.

I was 11 years old when I first heard this song back in 2006


Got laid 2 years later 😊

Love Pat Benatar!

this is so fun!

This was the video b o y y y y !!!!

GREAT SONG

I loooove this song, this is really grooveous!!!

This song has a whole new meaning in the MeToo era, and not for the reason you think it is

I usually hate 80's MTV videos but this one's incredible. Also helps that the song is a classic.

SEVERELY UNDERRATED!! Still listening and spread the Benatar in 2019!!!

TEMAZO SUBLIME DE LOS 80!!!!!!!!

By FAR....Pat's Best SONG!!!

anybody know the muscle mans name??

snakes or sperm

This vid and the song was 80 years ahead if its time ..So bizarre

Men still use SEX AS A WEAPON in 2019!

For ads and even then they got to be careful of the S.J.W's.

I've seen a couple of people's posts that they think there's a story behind the song... there very much is... back in the 80s the record labels kept wanting her to dress up like a sexy little kitten Vixen and she was uncomfortable with it... towards the end of the song where they show her album cover when she's bending backwards and she's wearing the skin tight outfit and she's sings the line "sex as a weapon" she looks up at the picture that was kind of a "screw you" to the record labels.. because of her confidence and success in the end she got her way.. directly after that panel in the video you see the giant Bank of Television screens.. in the bottom right-hand corner you see Pat and she has kind of a self-satisfied smirk on her face cuz she got her point across

This the eightiest one can get

Aye ,,,the 80s was so far ahead of the future decades of Sex Weapons

Happy 66 birthday Pat Benatar!

I am analyzing this for my BA-project i musicology where the focus is on women in rock. If anyone have analyzed this, or know some cool facts pls message me. (I already have Lewis' "Gender politics and MTV".)

'stop usin' sex as a weapon' 🎶

#PatBenetar can and knows how to rock! 😎

Be interesting to hear a male singer cover this someday.

For me EVERY WOMAN I have ever dated or married (I have been married twice) used sex as a weapon, and it was OK (to them) that they cheated on me, but if I cheated on them I was SH*T, and I was a jerk and a bastard, but like I said if they wanted something "extra" that was fine FOR THEM!!!! I am so sick of woman and their double standards that I ended up become a MGTOW Man BEFORE MGTOW was even a thing!! And with my last divorce in 2002 I am in a committed relationship NOW, but my lady understands once she has broken my trust and destroyed my respect for her....THERE IS NO GETTING IT BACK, and I have proven this by what I have taught her about my two ex wives and countless ex girl friends!! I am NO LONGER playing a woman's game and I don't need a woman in my life that badly, because women have shown me repeatedly that they are totally worthless to start with most of the time anyhow!!! And honestly I CAN DO EVERYTHING a woman can with the exception of having a child.....but really is that anything to be honestly "proud of" when most women take kids for granted like they do their men as well too!!! And mind you NOT all women take their kids for granted, but a majority only use their kids as pawns to suck the system dry which is sad as well too!!

Отлично! Как всегда замечательно!! Вот уж точно профессионализма не пропьешь как говорят в России!

Anybody know who that nearly, naked hunk in the video is? Just wondering for research purposes.

My Best. Out.

Pat's worst haircut but another fantastic song.

*_IT ALWAYS BOTHERED ME TO SEE THAT NEARLY-NAKED MAN WITH MY NAKED EYES! HE LOOKS LIKE HE DOESN'T EXERCISE ENOUGH! THEY SHOULDN'T SHOW NAKED OR NEARLY-NAKED MEN ON VIDEOS!_*

The song is good but the Video is a dumpster fire !

Amo este disco de Pat Benatar lo escuche hasta gastarlo, tiene sun sonido barbaro y una musicaluzaciòn brutal.

I'm not going to lie before I found out it was a "sex sells" commentary I thought it was about her being in a bad relationship.

Inappropriate female workplace behavior a la "Disclosure" brought me here: I needed a comeback phrase and so glad a woman sang this!

98 wankers don't remember the _real_ MTV...

My baby Roxanne Russell looking fabulous in here as always ❤️

We ALL use sex as a weapon!

If Sex Is A Weapon, and Love Is A Battlefield, Lust must be Death.

Reminds me of the old days of my teenager era

Dylan...

I agree that it's one of her best songs but the video sucks

Stop it, Mr. Tiny Hands!!!

retarded

don't talk about yourself like that

Yes you are dear.

One of her best songs, but the video...😏

cock & balls @ 1:29 haha lmfao talk about paint ball!

good songs best!

yup i agree pat! its a horrible thing! that stuffs for pple in love not profit!

yup i agree pat! its a horrible thing!

panatar yeah probabbly a good in the armentarium of good peacefull anti terror soft rock or even hard metal it al gets younged by the rongo congo drogo's .I don't remember many remember all the sleeve slazyness in really quite baked n mouldy cheap replacements whatever . I,m sure it has personal meaning to all these comments and well the curse of casual cheese doubring this really important best known of many like compatable cruise type rythms like swaying waves n hips in never stop the enticing genetalia from being distracting in any war which explains all these big concert shoot crazyies that like her high period represented. though withered now like I a minascule odd non conformist

Just perfect...

Saw her twice in concert and she didn't sing this one either time. There must be a story behind that but I can't find it.

MTV, busy ruining songs - and music, from day one. And look where it got us!

the sexiest video on my play list. ironic.

sexy guy

Sometimes I like to finger myself to this song. It makes me feel like a badass and forget about my cancer for a little bit.

Pics or GTFO.

That hot guy with a smooth muscle-bound body in a thong! Now I see why back then TBS' Night Tracks wouldn't show this video. LOL! He reminds me of your typical exotic male dancer! Back in the early '90s I saw a stripper on the local news (somebody passing by caught it on camera) with a body and a similar G-string like him, although this one had a thick mustache, who was dancing and strutting (also barefoot) at what was supposed to be a private bachelorette party at a now-defunct club. Even though he was gay, he got turned on by the women who pulled his G-string off and you can guess what happened next! LOL!

Lemme guess...............he became straight after that?

Awesome track, awesome solo by 'Spyder'.

2:35 looks raunchy up until the ice cream cone. Intentional of course.

Great song from a great singer. Always a pleasure!

I adore her voice on this track

A girlfriend wrote a sociology paper on this song and video, and how it has been misused by rabid feminists as an ironic weapon of ignorance. Pat B is the best example of strong independent female in the entertainment industry.

@Batman Laughed The context is that some guy was randomly moaning about how all criminals deserve severely harsh punishment. I disagreed since some ppl are unfairly criminalized. Then that other person butted in, with saying I need to use a dictionary. That's it really. I just needed to rant, so sorry about it. Anyway I'll let you get on with your life.

No worries, I was just a little confused, bit now I know; and knowing is half the battle. Seriously though, I concur, that kind of unnecessary snark is obnoxious. What does a dictionary definition have to do with the gradients of judicial punishment? That's just an informant fool who thinks they live in a binary world where everything can be reduced to 1's and 0's. Having some experience with dealing with law enforcement and the courts I can assure you, the person saying kill em all and let God sort them out has never been in an actual court room, or had to testify on someone's behalf.

Ignorant, not informant.

Batman Laughed Sorry late reply. I agree with everything you said

A link to it would be greatly appreciated!

This song reminds me of Spencer Gifts for some reason. Big mall franchise back in the day! Cool stuff! Bought a pair of checkered 80s style sunglasses there and then listened to this song on a "45. Oh the nostalgia!!!

I forgot how awesome this song is. It really jammed; and this video was awesome; cutting edge for the time.

I dig Pat Benatar!

Interesting that she looks at her own album in disgust at 3:47.

I think it's her own ironic inside joke.

I think in her VH1 Behind The Music show she mentions the record company pushing for sexier album jackets, sexier image, etc.  I believe this song was part of a response to that demand.

Yes, isn't it?

Hahaha. Cool

"Love is more than a one-way reflection...."

This is Pat Benatar's best track by far! Her vocals rock the house with this one, and especially with the multiple guitars.

@Raccoon Eyes Agreed. :-)

No Way...Promises in the Dark!

I will peacefully disagree with you.

That's fine...I just don't see how you can though. Try listening to Promises in the Dark again. You may change your mind!

We all have our specific favorites, and this is mine. :-)

It's extremely sad but thats how most so-call-starz in Hollywood use "Sex as a Weapon" to sell$ their Music, Movies, etc.

Long live the 80's

Love is more than a one-way reflection.

weaponized sexuality--the possibilities are endless.

Indeed they are. Notice how this video is aimed at men? Sex is the most powerful weapon there is, and women know how to use it. The way that a woman attacks a man sexually is to claim he's attacking her sexually while simultaneously devaluing his masculinity. It's like the joke where an old lady at a restaurant complains about the food and the other old lady with her agrees and adds that the portions are too small.
