Pat Benatar My Clone Sleeps Alone

[uniquemum73]

My mother played and played this album over and over, about 79, I was only 5 and I remember LOVING this song!

[ivegottaheadache]

WTH!! I've NEVER seen her perform this live; ugh! If only! I had to dig out a 1979 live audio version and make a photo slide show, lol! I'll post it as a video response! She'll be performing at the State Fair of Texas in October; I'm gonna spam her FB page to sing this song in October.

[LesSmith45]

Man i seen this woman back in 79 a rising star concert in seattle the show was only a buck. The local rock station KISW use to put on these rising star concerts for only a dollar. So cool.

[musicphan1]

Wow, a Benetard song that doesn't suck. It's actually good. Why didn't she do much more like this?

[mreunome]

The little power house from New York City . . . Pat Rules!!

[robbjmc]

YEAH! Great vocal and I've never heard her do this song live (and I think I've seen her eight or more times). Thanks for posting, Steviejo!!!!

[steviejo]

@robbjmc You are welcome. Yeah she does not pull that one out of her catalog, only rarely. Truly a gem!!! Thanks for your comment.!

[crackup51]

love it!

[tensixteen36]

sweet, very under rated song

[AnoziraNoscut]

Roger Capps wrote this song. He also wrote Hell is for Children.

[innamorata40]

@AnoziraNoscut - Pat and Roger wrote "Hell is for Children" after both read a article in The New York Times about child abuse.

[romperroomrejects]

@AnoziraNoscut She co-wrote it with Roger, she doing most of the lyrics and he the music. likewise on "Hell is for Children".

[MajestiPrawn]

even though i'm a man right now..... she's talking about me..... i'm from outer space....

[TEPETAHUA]

[vonironbutterfly]

I LOVE YOU PAT!!!

[OpieJohansen]

Howard Stern was right!...Pat Benatar is still hot and smokin'! :)

[BOYBENATAR]

love this live! takes me back to the album playing in my room, when i was freshman in high school. LOVE IT!!

[jimiraj]

I have always loved her, and this has always been one of my favorites by her!

[krismanages]

I love pat too death she has so many other songs that are so awesome and should of hit the #1 charts as well or videos like Rated X love it!!

[danadanewithfame]

What does this mean?!?!?

[romperroomrejects]

@danadanewithfame Listen to the lyrics - it's about a futuristic society where people are cloned instead of reproducing sexually, "No VD, No cancer, on TV's the answer - no father, no mother, she's just like the other...

[titiallier]

Belle pat.Canon et talent. Sh'es a wonder woman.Thanhs

[trackgurl2400]

Pat is number one, I say! She was the best in the business........Totally, smart, sexy and feisty......And the lead guitarist his her husband; lucky woman I say!!

[PeterMarloweHDF]

A kick ass guitar player and a kick ass singer. This is what music is all about. It's definitely not lip syncing, dance choreography, mamby jahamby.

[nothinghumanlovesfor]

i agree.

[SLEDGE1590TOO]

I saw her song live in the 80s Pat was brilliant this is still one of her best and the obscure songs are the ones that live with you forever.

[spelltill]

What a smile...Pat for ever!!

[punisher21200]

I LOVE this Pat Benatar song! One of her best songs ever! I'm surprised it was never a #1 single! Great hook and simply wonderful song!!! :)

[jonbecker03]

it was too GOOD to be a number one single. (it seems that the best songs never get to number one. the public prefers mediocrity.) also, the term "clone" may have confused people in the early eighties. back then, fewer people were familiar with the term. thus, their reaction would have been,"WHAT is she singing about!?!!"

[romperroomrejects]

@jonbecker03 I agree that a lot of the best songs on some artists albums aren't the big "hits", but I think it might not have been chosen as a single because of the venereal disease reference. I was a senior in high school when this came out, and cloning was very well-publicized at that time. Everyone I knew was well aware of what it was and a bit nervous of the potential, hence this song.

[solwolfpunk]

thank you! I never see this song.

[easygoer13]

Only live version of this that I can find on YouTube, of this, my favorite Pat Benatar song...so thanks for posting! I have seen her three times in the last few years and she NEVER plays this...[sigh]....

[cybergrail]

The audio on this recording is not good with a very "tin can" sound.

[Shamiranz]

this song is pat at her best...it rocks

[oyyour]

Benatar co-wrote this song. One of my favorites, that most folks aren't familiar with. I've seen her in concert six times and she is utterly amazing.

[FootinMouthDisease]

"Clone" is what twins often call each other.

Great to see she's still rocking out. I felt so old when I heard her daughter was a presenter at a music awards show in 2006 (GAAAHG!)

[votremontre]

i loveeeeeeeeeeeee this song....

[dayna96]

2000?

[dayna96]

she's still got it!

what year was this recorded?

[pioneerbw]

HI, This was from one of her early albums,

and in my opinion is her very best song. This

live recording looses a bit, but the original

is just brilliant. I used to (back in the early eighties) commute regularly about a

thousand kilometres (about 600 miles) back and

forward when courting, and had a tape made up

of this song repeated over and over for 90 minutes. Just love this song... never tired

of hearing it...

[ges2005]

totally agree. I did the same, and this is definatly one of her best.

[romperroomrejects]

@dayna96 sorry to be responding three years later... It was recorded in the summer of 1979... "No naughty clone ladies allowed in the '80's", too funny!

[xXgetNERVOUSXx]

I absolutely love this song. Pat and Neil are AMAZING. She did this when I saw her in June '05.

[wowthatsbad]

the thing on her wrist is for the in ear things

[gearhedguy]

One of my all-time favorite Pat songs! Pat, you definitely rock!!

[cwbutler]

my clone sleeps alone?? weeeird...

[myowndrumma]

See now, this is a little known fact, but Pat's albums are chock full of "weird" songs. Think of it as "the little progressive chick trapped in a rocker's body". You'd be surprised at how many cool bizarro songs she's recorded.

[cwbutler]

well cool - I'llhaveta check it out :)

Thanks!

[1Gator596]

Great vid! Thanks!  Is that a "house arrest crim tracker" bracelette she's wearing?

[PatRebaMartina]

Benataron house arrest, interesting thought...but no..
