  • My love of the 80's...

  • Who wrote the song, "Shadows of the Night?" If you listen to the music, it sounds like a Journey tune. Even the lyrics could pass for something written by Journey writers. Any info on that. I'm a musician and I am a great critic of the best music ever. Pat Benatar is a Legend!

  • @777AiR777 It was written by D.L. Byron, and he used it in a demo he did for Arista but they rejected it. Then it was performed by Rachel Sweet and Helen Schneider before Pat got it. Pat rewrote the lyrics, and got sued for it. The rest is history.

  • Cast the Jewish drummer as a Nazi.  That's just genius.

  • The guy in the video is Bill Paxton and not Pullman. Just FYI.

  • who goes to war in a goddamn trainer plane?

  • Bit of Trivia.. 1st, this was Pat Benetar's First Charater Video!

    2nd, Yes, the is Judge Reinhold, and Bill Pullman.

    3rd, this Video, will never be seen in Germany. You figure on why...

  • Great music, hot singer, dead Nazis...TRIFECTA!!!!!

  • And - She still is

  • She never looked more beautiful than she does at 3:36 :-)

  • :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

  • judge reinhold was soo freaking hot back then!!!

  • 42 People are Nazis.

  • Judge Reinhold and Bill Paxton are in this video. Awesome!

  • Is that Judge Reignhold at 0:58?

  • @christopherspaethe1 I looked it up. It is him. Kick Ass.

  • i dont get it, what does this video have to do with the song?

  • @TheTechnoRadio Nothing, really. They had a cool story and the money to make it into a video. Plus, World War II was still prominent in our culture then since at the time much of the country's business and governmental leadership was made up of W.W. II veterans.

  • @TheTechnoRadio It was a video, you see kids (Clark Griswald says) in the day of music, why...and group could make music, and a theme, and it be what anyone wanted or not at all...right "Rusty" and "Audry"?

  • Like watching an episode on television The eighties are memo

    rable

  • what movie is this from?anybody?

  • @brandyanne100 This was the video she made... not a movie... Great huh?!

  • Check out how the hot chick gives her gaze to the drummer at 2:54. Stud, Rock and Roller!!!

  • Great classic song. Love the powerful vocals!

  • i love this song but honestly the solo is so fucking bad. 

  • Miss Pat ROCKED with emotion and vocals! Did anyone out there know she was formerly trained as an opera singer?

  • fav 80s singer

  • you know why music sounds better on vinal? CUZ MUSIC WAS BETTER THEN!

  • @TheEagleman67 well said !

  • Pat Benatar WAS the 80s... I'm not sure that's a complement.

  • Clearly lady gagme, the material whore, brittney, pinky, rhianna & the rest of the plug-in disco hacks have absolutely no shame. If they did, one listen of Pat would send them scurrying back to the dark places they oozed from! Thank God I grew up in the era of strong rock artist women like Pat, the Wilson Sisters, Stevie Nicks, Christine McVie, Kate Bush. Pat's truly stunning, subtle, powerful vocals will live on long after she's started singing for God! Keep the faith. Peace!

  • @redfishradical material whore as in madonna? i sure hope not

  • @redfishradical I'll agree with you on every singer but Pink. You've clearly never heard her singing live while suspended upside down on a trampoline -- the girl has pipes. She's amazing. She's one of the few singers today who can hold a candle to some of the great singers from the 80s.

  • @snnbrg agree Pink may not always pick the best songs but the girl has some serious talent and I totally respect her for it and for not giving into to being like everyone else

  • Ok....

    1.Douglass Dauntless SBD check

    2.Judge Reinhold check

    3.Pat B. check

    how can you go wrong?

  • @MrRover3500S ITS NOT A DUNTLESS DIVE BOMBER JUST A T-6 TEXAN TRAINER. STILL A BADASS SONG I REMEMBER WHILE I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL.

  • Judd Nelson? Flying Co-Pilot? Awesome.

  • INSANE harmony intro!

  • I think one of the Nazi's was Bill Paxton

  • What the Hell is Judge Reinhold doing in this video?

  • @jester6873 hahahah really!

  • Such a great voice, and heck of great song! She really knew how to belt it out and stay on tune!

  • Other than Luismck illegally water-marking a video owned by the record label and Pat Benatar, great video

  • Pat Benetar didn't take no shit from nobody... but her grammar was terrible

  • Ahhh this is the good stuff...no music and no videos like this anymore. What a shame.

  • Press and hold 1 for dubstep

  • ultra kool...!!!!

  • The Eighties were by far the best , best decade of music there ever was .

    Does anybody out there remember when Mtv Played strictly music videos 24-7?

    Im 46 and hate the music these days most anyways no feeling

  • @kevieization just the best decade...period...music included...I'm eight years behind you, so I lived it also ;)

    miss my BMX, Atari and just a fun life...

  • @kevieization I'm 39. Yes, I remember. Back when Mtv was cool.

  • @kevieization Most music today isn't even art. It's just "products for consumers." Most of the fuckers who make it don't even call themselves artists and just call themselves "performers and entertainers" in lieu of their lack of artistic integrity. It's soul-less empty crap intended to sell the lowest common denominator.

  • @3Storms You r absolutely I agree 100 percent lets kick out as much garbage as possible and make money!!!

    Its all garbage !!!

  • @kevieization wrote

    Does anybody out there remember when Mtv Played strictly music videos 24-7?

    Oh god yes. By the end of the 80s I never thought I would miss them so much.

    But let's not dismiss all of the music made after we turned 30 or whatever. We sound like older generations when we criticize all of today's music, which I always promised myself I would never do. I like some of today's music, especially the alternative scene.

  • @kevieization Yes...the MTV old school was great.

  • @kevieization yes I'm 40 and I remember!! The 80's was when music was music, no lip syncing, no half dressed sex scenes and no teen singers acting like prostitutes. It' was just pure music and it was FUN!!

  • This is an awesome song, why do people have to read stuff into it? Enjoy the music, don't try to make it political...Listen to the lyrics and you will hear...IT IS A LOVE SONG! no references to religion, war, politics, obama, or anything else like that...if you can find anything in the lyrics that references any of those subjects, please tell me so I can correct you and tell you the actual lyrics to that part. Thank you very much, and STOP RUINING THIS SONG!

  • Who can deny this superb voice????

    

  • One of the songs that made me fall in love with Rock way back in 83. Thanks Pat! 

  • I want this woman in the rock and roll hall of fame for one of the best female rock stars of all time. But since the hall is now shit...screw it. Pat B is the Goddess of Rock!

  • check it out!! Bill Paxton is one of the nazis.

  • my favorite,peace pat benatar

  • there are a couple companys that make reproduction german aircraft...they made beautiful me 262's using exact specs but modern day materials...and the engines are from a talon fighter....pretty cool if they can use them in a modern video

  • i thought that was Tom Cruise at (:32 and :33 sec)

  • STUPID video

  • @NYtoTX i like yur post you slammed the video as you should... that was the 80's great music and vocalists but makiing videos was in it's infancy and yeah... they were, eh... well bad

  • If it wasn't for Pat Benatar we'd all be speaking German. Also Rob Halford at 3:00

  • that video was brilliant! :)

  • ROCK ROYALTY !

  • LOVE YOU SINCE I WAS IN MY TEENS AND IM 47 NOW AND STILL LOVE YA KEEP MAKING THE MUSIC CUZ I NEVER GET TIRED OF LISTENING TO THAT BEAUTIFUL VOICE

    

  • Yes, that is Judge Reinhold! Where is he now? GREAT song from a time when people weren't afraid to just sing their guts out.

  • is that Judge Reinhold getting into one of those planes?

  • @studinthemaking Yes it is - the one and only!

  • @studinthemaking and bill paxton is one of the nazis.

  • MY GOD...cant people just shut up and enjoy the song?....who gives a shit about P.C?...FUCK P.C!...I Wanna Rock Out!

  • those aren't Nazi's her and the band are fighting against

    they are fighting against the most vile and retarded 0bamabots/libtards/progressive­-socialist-marxists of the Democrat party

    and their marxist leader: 0bama

    Are you ready for another shellacking in 2012 Dems?

  • @runsaber1 ...ignorant putz.

  • @Benton46 you are? *l*

  • War = Changes

    Changes = War

    Peace,

    V

  • Back when songs and music videos told a story and showed heart and emotion, unlike now where it's "let's party and get drunk", "where on the bus should I sit" or "i got da money n' da bitchez ".

  • one of the best female voices in rock!

  • Her best ever.

    

  • the aircraft look like old training planes. Must have been a heck of a pilot to shoot down (I think they were) FW 190's. (ok....I probably messed up on the descriptions...it's been a while since I looked at them...still)

  • @kedk200

    Pats" flying" a BT-13, I cant get a good look at the german plane - the sqaure wing, rectangular cockpit ---might be ME 109  Ill try to find a HD video of it

  • @MrEricenriquez Are you losers really like replying to each other via a YOU TUBE video? Don't you have homes??? errr...uh, phones, life, some fake protest to go to???

  • @lance1jcubsfan Amen!!

  • @lance1jcubsfan Fake protest! Love it!

  • i was 65 in 1981 gawd it feels like yesterday

  • This is one of my all-time favorites!

  • This is one of my all-time favorites

  • oh hey, im a 16 year old girl nd this is my FAVORITE song, like ever. Like ahh, i love it! Im going to be singing it for my school talent show <3

  • Was that Judge Reinhold????

  • @5454viper Judge Reinhold and Bill Paxton.

  • @orlandod71 LOL, good call man!!

  • I'd really appreciate it if people wouldn't start bitching over our screwed-up government. Just watch the video and enjoy one of the greatest songs ever :3

  • I remember when this came out! Back when MTV (MUSIC television) played MUSIC VIDEOS instead of all the reality GARBAGE they play today! MODERN MTV SUXX Thumbs UP if u agree!

  • If you could only go back for a day......maybe two days.

  • The days when MTV played videos. We used to sit around and watch them at the the friends house that was lucky enough to have cable. Cable was new also. We would drink sodas-eat Doritio's- smoke cigs and soemtimes get high. I was 16 yrs old and the world was changing.

  • Hey - you (2) folks with the youtube political idealogical mudslinging, I just wanted to say thank you... I haven't heard the name Vladimir Ulyanov since the Big Lebowski. Remember? WALTER: What was it that Lenin said? DONNY: I am the walrus? WALTER: Vladimir...Ilyich...Ulyanov!!! Shut the fuck up Donny, you're out of your element.  CLASSIC STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • possibly one of the best videos and songs from the 80's but it is so timeless

    

  • Those arent fighter planes they are trainers.

  • Oh my gosh! i haven't seen this video since I was little! Luiscmckl, thanks for the upload.

  • this is by far the best music video in the world... even today

  • @hadieandgriffin no. just no.

  • Anyone else catch the trucks and car driving through the background at 1:13?

  • you cant foget the 80s

  • And the Wehrmacht!

  • @ForceReconMarines You mean Werhmacht.

  • @littlewolf60 Negative, the Luftwaffe was part of the Wermacht, the air wing of it.

  • And the SS

  • I never knew a T-6 Texan could dominate the Luftwaffe!

  • I wish they still made songs this awesome!

  • gorgeous :D

  • I agree, music today pretty much stinks. This video reminds me of my mother. She welded torpedoes at Westinghouse during World War II.

  • Love this song but the video more like "Shadows of the Reich" ....ooooooopppppsss.. now I've just messed up the song in your head lyrics for anyone who reads this for eternity.

  • for all of those brain dead liberal idiots out there who supposedly proclaim that "THEY" speak up for FREEDOM. do you think green day or any other "modern" group could make such music let alone a video like this? hmmmmmm?

  • @SocratesTheGadfly You're comment doesn't even make any sense. I do agree Green Day sucks though.

  • @meatmachines well just ask yourself this , how many "modern rock groups" are making music videos depicting a patriotic theme in DEFENSE of Freedom especially since we are at war with militant islamo facism. I for one have certainly NOT seen a single one from the rock groups in existence now including green day. however, I have seen a number of anti American statements from these brain dead liberals with their selfish narcisstic and hubristic attitudes and their hate America viewpoints.

  • @SocratesTheGadfly

    actually the Democrats should use this song because they are fighting the evil right wing teabaggers who are just like the Nazis.

  • @ozrantrel5959 WRONG!! once again you brain dead LIBERALS are backwards. the current demonrat obamunist administration is the post modern version of communists destroying the country from within with their progressive communist ideology. the Tea Party are Patriots and conservatives who WORK FOR A LIVING unlike the demonrat communist supporters who are free loaders and union thugs demanding WELFARE through excessive taxation. Pat Benatar by the way is a Christian conservative and a Patriot

  • @SocratesTheGadfly The Tea Party is not a populist organization. They are ran by big money. Likening them to fascist isn't a major reach since fascism is the union of big corps and government. Also I am a liberal who works for a living when there is work available. Unions are not demanding welfare. Unions keep people off of welfare and working for a wage that isnt dwarfed by what you could earn selling drugs or pimping.

  • @freakyfatdog WRONG! unions are communist front organization linked to the mafia running rackets of extortion from private businesses. the prime example is the teamsters which is one of the most corrupt unions on the face of the earth and are just as bad as the communist party. just ask yourself how hard is it to FIRE an unproductive, non-working dead beat who just takes up space as an employee in a union shop? liberalism is a mental disease and liberals are slaves to that ideology.

  • @SocratesTheGadfly

    You sound like such a loon I would assume you are mocking rightwingers

    I dont have the exact stats but I know that when American was 25% plus unionized the difference in CEO pay and entry level pay was in another realm. Last I check it rose by over 500%. Its not like the absense of unions put any money in pockets cept the CEOs. So we could tax them seeing how low the top tax rate is but noooo we have their hoes from the tea party to keep their taxes low and call us lazy.

  • @freakyfatdog classical brain washed liberal progressive demonrat socialist communist argument from the play book directly from karl marx. when unable to take responsibility for the failures of ones own policies BLAME somebody else and in this case, "blame the rich" for the disparities of society. come on man, you have a brain use it, do not resort to becoming a parrot liberal reciting everything that you are TOLD to recite. think for yourself.

  • @SocratesTheGadfly

    As we have deionized middle class wages have fallen for men and for women it has risen only to equal men yet the wealthy have had their wages increase x15. I'm not blaming the rich I'm stating facts. I know that is hard for the rightwing loons to deal with. You would rather bring up Karl Marx. Who the fuck cares about Karl Marx this is American sociology. The fancily pinched are shelling for the wealthy. Just dont front like you are a hard workiing populist.

  • @freakyfatdog "deionized"?? hmm, let me see that is a Physical Science term from Chemistry meaning that a chemical or an element is no longer ionized. well back to the discussion. you are a FOOL and i mentioned marx because he is the patron saint of all leftist radical communist FOOLS like you who cannot think for themselves and just like the marxists communists of lenin and stalin you make up LIES. socialist policies are what is destroying the country from within as in obamunism!

  • @SocratesTheGadfly

    You are accusing others of parroting liberal ideals when you are spouting from the corporate creed book yourself. The vast majority of liberals know little about Marx and most conservatives know even less. So when people bring up the expanding chasm between the rich and poor its not inspired by Lenin and Marx its inspired by the reality of what is going on. The problems in America are not the fault of 19th century philosophers or the handful of people that study them.

  • @freakyfatdog YES the parrot liberals of the leftist demonrat socialist communist party are the obamatrons, obamatons and obamanauts that vladimir ulianov dubbed the useful idiots. I speak from the American traditions of Personal Freedom, Individual Liberty and Self Independence which translates into the least amount of GOVERNMENT is the best form of government. that is opposed by the likes of YOU and your fellow communists who seek to impose a statist system of governmental oppression

  • @SocratesTheGadfly Pat Benatar and politics? Seriously?

  • @Ihaterudecomments Believe it or NOT Pat Benatar is an extremely intelligent woman and very well educated as well as Classically trained in opera. Also, she is devoted to her daughters and politically she is very conservative and a Christian at heart and has a great deal of class which is INFINITELY more than madonna, christina or britney.

  • @SocratesTheGadfly I'm wondering why you're talking about politics on Shadows of the night...and why mention madonna and britney? I am watching this video to here the Queen of Rock, not see a pointless political conversation that has nothing to do with this awesome song.

  • @Ihaterudecomments if you have not noticed the video itself is about fighting the evil of nazism. the song itself emphasizes that FACT and for your information Pat Benatar is a Christian and a patriotic American. just ask yourself how many "modern" rock stars would write a patriotic song TODAY about America defeating terrorism which is just another form of evil? there are plenty of rock stars who write disrespectful songs, would you like a list? I will start with the schock of green day!

  • @SocratesTheGadfly Lets clear something up. First, I don't listen to the new crap. Second, I know all the lyrics to this song, and they really have nothing to do with politics.

    Oh girl, it's a cold world, when you keep it all to yourself

    I said you can't hide on the inside all the pain you ever felt...

    it's a love song, not Sunday, Bloody Sunday, or some other political song.

  • True female talent! :D Love her....This is one of my favs from Pat..

  • THE BIG 80's MACHINE!

  • 39 people should go listen to Ashley Tisdales version. I love you Pat!

  • is that Judge Reinhold getting into one of the planes back seat?

  • @GWHH76 i thought the same thing?

  • @GWHH76 yep

  • wish I could go back!! Love this song, so much!! =D

  • She might make a good Allied spy but she's nothing as a drill press operator.

  • Is Bill Paxton one of the Nazi's in this? :P

  • @hanshead Yes, it is Bill Paxton playing a Nazi. Judge Reinhold (a.k.a Billy Rosewood from Beverly Hills Cop) is the American pilot wearing the red baseball cap at the beginning of the video.

  • I saw her at the blackoak mountain ampatheatre Branson Mo last year she was 57 and sound the same as in 1970's.She's holding up pretty darn good shes real short about 5'4 but man her voice is very powerful snd full of emotion

  • Thanks....

  • I hope she still gets royalties from these songs.

  • One of the best female voices in music ever! Man, what a voice! I love "Invincible", it was her best.

  • hell is for children is a good song too

  • 38 people are tone deaf.

  • I love Pat, got to see her over a decade ago when she played here. Shadows of the Night and We Belong our two of my favorite songs

  • I forgot how bad this video was (back in pre-CGI days), but it's funny to see Bill Paxton as a Nazi.

  • just saw her live AMAZING

  • Pat hit #13 in Billboard, 12-11-82. God bless ya, for postin' it. Thanx! Shalom, Pat!

  • Not only was Pat Benatar a great singer, but she helped win WWII. What a gal!

  • im 41 years old and am so glad to know there are young people out there who still appreciate GOOD music.REAL music.anyone can make noise with a turntable and a mic but THIS is what music is suppose to sound like.what an awesome voice she has!

  • wow this is one of the best classics anywhere

  • Um is that Judge Rienhold in this video?

  • @MrRyan2112 yep

  • i love her

  • 37 people must like Lady Gaga. Pat Benatar kicks ass.

  • @Cap285 Pat could kick Lady Gay Gay's ass anytime of the day or night!

  • @HellEachWay Heh heh. "Lady Gay Gay".

  • I just saw her concert and it was my first time seeing it and I love how she still rocks!

  • man I was born in the 80s, but some songs transcend time.

  • pat benatar was one of my favorites! i see judge reinhold was in this video too! probabaly one of his first jobs in acting!

  • Pat has nothing on these new singers !! I LOVE THE 80's!!!

  • wow, i had heard the song before but never seen the video. It's is totally not what I expected, but it's even more awesome that way! I wish more artists nowadays would put this kind of thought back into their videos.

  • she is one of the best lady sing
