This is one of the best hard rock songs of the entire "classic" era....it set a tone for driving female angst and I've never heard the original.....why spoil it. Her entire album is classic.
@SashaSedai Yes, I agree. Their's is a little longer too. But Pat always rocks. Just saw her this past July 9th at the House of Blues in Boston. OMG!!! Awesome show. Too short, though. She only played for an hour and a half. No other bands. oh well. Still a good time.
The time signature of this track is just a complete mindfuck if you're a drummer! Also the way the vocals are layed out over the guitar riff during the verses is very difficult to time without ruining the song's flow. I was once in a band that attempted to cover this and we all gave up cuz we just couldn't get it right!! LOL. Awesome SWEET track covered brilliantly by Benatar.
Nice cover, but I still like the original better. The only artist to cover a Sweet song better than the original was Joan Jett's cover of Sweet's "A.C.D.C.". Krokus' cover of Ballroom Blitz was good, but not better.

Ok.Haven't heard Joan Jett's cover of "A.C.D.C.". Since you consider it better than the original,I'll listen to it. Thanks for the suggestion.
