  • Great song with a catchy ass hook. 2:27 is my favorite part to sing along with. Good Stuff.:)

  • Tu obywatele z Polski, Przejmujemy TO!!!

  • Just great !!

  • Cool riff. I was looking for the tab but can't find it anywhere.

  • I'm glad real rock n roll, and metal is coming back.

  • Not only is Kelly an amazing vocalist and songwriter but he is a sick bassist too. Just a phenom musician.

  • @Thrashershockey16 Yea he is,,but did have some help song writing here with Jack Ponti who is amazing writer and producer

  • They will always mean the best expression of Adult Oriented Rock togheter at Bad English

  • i cant stop playing this!!!!!!!

  • at least this is when they made videos..

  • All ya need to say is Hot Damn!!!!

  • Is it my imagination or does the lead singer sound like Sammy Hagar?

  • @rkjeldgaard thats what I always thought too!

  • @rkjeldgaard Wow being a vocolist I usually catch shit like that but you are right he sounds like Sammy. I even owned this CD back in the day and never made the connection.

  • Is Jack Blades the one playing keyboard? It sure looks like him. lol

  • andrew wk + weird al

  • wowo owowwwow good!!

  • I was born in 1998. Damn it!

  • wow.....an good memories keep coming back...been forever since i heard this one...\m/

  • I haven't heard this one in forever..

  • I don't know how I missed these guys back in the day because I was a hard rock fanatic, and still am actually. Thanks to internet "Hair Band" radio stations I recently discovered them. It doesn't get any better than this song, they should have been huge! Maybe it was just bad timing with their debut album in 1990 as this type of music was dying, a few years earlier and it would have been a different story.

  • @SmiteedawgWV check out george lynch's furious george cd, the singer (Kelly Keeling) is on vocals and does a great job, worth every cent.

  • 7 people need to walk off a cliff

  • seriously snakeminced? did you read what you wrote? try english next time.

  • @bigjohn432 maybe he's not a english talking man? Stop being such a bitch?

  • and looked even better in person :)

  • I met Kelly back in 92 at the Last Stop in Metaire, LA. really nice guy

  • @elizbeth801 Oooooh! :o I envy you, lucky girl :)

  • cool

  • the only thing this video needed was a scene like the end of Way Cool Junior by RATT...I remember being glued to the end of that video

  • Sure the lead isnt Weird Al?

  • @batt42 I've listened to these guys for years. I never thought about that...too funny!!!! No the singer is not Weird Al...it is Kelly Keeling. Thaks for the laugh!!

  • isn't that the porn chick Savannah? who is now dead.

  • I want to bust into some chick's bedroom with my guitar...

  • it makes you boogies? lol

  • What a great voice! I love this song makes me boogie

  • Kelly Keeling is a ferociously talented musician and while most will not consider this his best work, this is where he was introduced to the mainstream. He's an absolute beast of a vocalist, bassist and all around musician.

  • Heh...these bands were a dime a dozen in 1989. Funny thing was, we knew every one of them. This one was like a mix of Jackyl / Slaughter / Extreme / Warrant / Poison and Sammy Hagar IMO.

  • Whats going on with Baton rouge these days? I have to admit I love this song so much I play it at least 20 times a day!

  • beutiful !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i thought I new allot of 80's music back as a kid but after lessening to Sirius radio hair nation i was wrong .there's allot of 80's music that i think didn't get the publicity or radio time they've deserved.iI think theres allot of 80's music that had got pushed a side that shouldn't of just saying these guys rock!

  • Yall know you liked this song BITCHES

  • heard this on hair nation about 10 mins ago

  • I love this band, and this song. However, the trend of silliness is what killed this genre of music. In hindsight i realized, the formula was to combine previously successful elements of other bands to sell it. The song is much like 'Way CoolJr.' by Ratt, the video is very reminiscent of 'Cherry Pie' by Warrant, and the singer sounds very much like David Coverdale. It's a shame the corporate big wig jerkoffs took over and destroyed a great music scene.

  • @Danuch113ny although i do partially agree with your comment i have to dissagree on your reason for the demise of rock in the earlie 90's, GRUNGE ruined the rock scene, all of a sudden if u had long hair and played fast virtuoso guitar solos you where known as a poodle perm twiddley merchant, you had to ware padded checked shirts, docker boots and have an i dont give a fuck attitudde, thaen that soft twat KURT COBAINE killed himself and the worled flocked to grunge, it used to be about the music

  • Comment removed

  • I just realized that the girl in the video is the adult film star Savannah

  • pretty sure we've all known a Girl like this at some point.

  • I haven't even thought about this song in years!

  • they from my home state

  • 24K

  • Amoo essa música *-*

  • THEY WHERE THE BEST AND MAKE THE BEST ALBUM EVER IN THE HISTORY OF AOR

  • Rocks.

  • HELLS YEAH FUCKS YEAH!

  • @z06forme Dude, I know. It's all messed up now. I remember when they started doing the game and reality shows - it just went downhill from there. I remember being a kid staying with my cousin who was 7 yrs. older than me - we stayed up watching all the videos, even had blank VHS tapes to record our favorite videos! It was great. Now, TOTAL trash!!!! MTV Europe isn't too bad - more videos than anything else, BUT it's mostly dance/pop/techno music.

  • one of the members of this band lives in pittsburgh scotty bender is his name

  • the lyrics walks like a woman ,BUT,..........ACTS LIKE A LITTLE GIRL!!!!!!!!!! , SO FUCKIN TRUE,PUSSY IS NOT WORTH MISERY ,JERKING OFF IS THE WAY TO GO.NO YEAST INFECTIONS, NO RAGS,NO COMPLAINING ,PINK SAID IT RIGHT ,YOU AND YOUR HAND ,DAMN FUCKIN RIGHT ,MORE MONEY FOR ME AND LESS BULLSHIT,

  • @metalheadache1972 damn .. u must be really pissed at chics

  • @metalheadache1972 AMEN BROTHER

  • THIS PILE OF WATERED DOWN MUNG IS WHY GRUNGE WAS SOOOO POPULAR. IF YOU WANT GOOD SLEAZY HARD ROCK LISTEN TO EARLY AEROSMITH OR HANOI ROCKS. THIS IS BEYOND PATHETIC.

  • Great song.

  • glam metal RULEZZZZZZZZZ

  • i know the drummer

    

  • good band even if they do sound like Whitesnake Walks like a woman!!!

  • @z06forme Hey .. I just YouTube'd them .. wow they're amazing as well .. I never heard of them b4 .. thank uuuuuuu !!!!!!!!!!

  • ♥♥ This is one of my favorite hair bands. They had some great stuff!! ♥♥

  • tis is one of my all time favorite bands aswell. so can u tell a site to download it to my mp3?? all the ones i look at do not have it......

  • @metal19901 You can go to youtube.mp3(dot)com and you can turn YouTube videos into MP3's.

  • I own this cd and many other great ones from the early 80s and 90s! Im a child that became of life in 1970. Started out with kiss and then def leppard, quiet riot scorpions, motley crue and ratt, then everything else came in this band baton rouge and heavens edge and Eyes were all great bands from the 1990s era not to forget HardLine,Mcauley schenker Group, Lillian Axe and Heavy Bones. my collection runs so deep I had to make a playlist on my I pod I call The BoneYard it has 756 from A to Z

  • Keeling has a great voice. He went on to help write tunes for newer albums of Dokken, Great White and other bands...

  • is that savahnna for real??

  • Gotta love the 80's. The funny part, though, is this was released in 1990. I have this tape, i love this tape, i miss this music.

  • 4 people walks like a man xD

  • the best program of mtv: headbangers ball

  • grrrr it sucks that this type of music is no longer made!!!!

    BRING BACK THE 80s!!!

  • Whoah... This is good shit...

  • Word up Baton Rouge...

  • Baton Rouge Rules!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Just posted this song on Facebook, since it contains one of my all time fave lyrics- "Sticks and stones can break your bones, but broken hearts can shake your soul...." LOVE THIS SONG!!!! Thanks to the person who put it on youtube, you rock.

  • @PhenomMissKennedy Whose the lead singer?

  • back when music was fun, not this crybaby emo shit that's out now.

  • Excellent band!

  • Wow I accidentally found this and I looooooove it!!!!♥

  • Isn't that Bobbie Brown? She was in the video for Cinderella's Shelter Me and Warrant's Cherry Pie. This song is from 1990 so it could be her but this video really suck.

  • And in Great White's House of broken love too

  • @TheGoldenPS1 I am pretty sure that is Savannah, an adult film actress. Deceased.

  • awesome....im in baton rouge jamming out to this ! XD

  • Great song... it sounds like Doro's "Bad blood" because it was also written and produced by Jack Ponti.

  • Who can help me out getting me a copy of this video?? Carl@gageleer.be

  • another amazing find ~ great memories !!!

  • Fuck, sounds like Bad Blood sang by Doro Pesch ;) Check it!!!

  • After almost 30 years them boys are still unbeatable, nice.

  • Looove this song! Never could understand why it wasn't a major hit. And I always thought the singer sounded like Hagar, too.

  • @fl0nk11 Kelly has always had a gift. Since grade school as I recall

  • this "music" was never metal.

  • Best Music Of All Time.. One Of The Best Rock Songs Of All Time... Great Band...Wish We Could Turn Back Time and Freeze 80's & early 90's Rock Music.

    Long Live Rock N Roll....... Rock N Roll Never Diesssssssssssss .

    Keep On Rocking

    Keep On Rocking

    Keep On Rocking

  • this song just forking rocks period

  • Comment removed

  • I turned the chorus into my ringtone... bad idea. I miss a lot of calls now due to rocking out to Baton Rouge instead of answering...

  • @TheNuclearCowboy Thats funny.....lol.......80's Metal forever!

  • @TheNuclearCowboy ....lol I can see that happening!

  • Good riff, not bad chorus, average singer. Hair metal is one of the most vocally demanding musical genres...a lot depends on the frontman being able to hit really high notes. Some bands worked around that - Joe Elliott was never that strong a singer, but Def Leppard had a really superb producer (Mutt Lange) to compensate - but usually, if the singer didn't have the pipes, the band was screwed. This guy isn't that good-looking, either (another important hair metal requirement).

  • @garethac81 Kind of a Sammy Hagar sound to his voice.

  • @TheNuclearCowboy

    Perhaps...but this guy has a much narrower range than Hagar. He could never hit Hagar's high notes on a song like "Dreams".

  • Comment removed

  • @garethac81 Similar, not comparable.

  • Hot 80s girls

  • Best. Song. Ever.

  • So many bands got over looked in the late 80's early 90's and these guys were one of them!! Great album!

  • I never heard of this band. Wish I had. Cool song.

  • Great song... horrible, horrible video. Jeez.

    So many good memories to this song. Good times in the back of a Buick. :o

  • amazing band!!!!!

  • All those who like this: Listen to 'Transit', a Swiss band!!

  • @GlenOakburn - CD-Tip: Catchfire by Transit !!

  • And the award for "best song with the worst video" goes to Baton Rouge!... Geez... this is what happens when you make a video that tries to follow the song's lyrics too closely. Exceedingly good song, though!

  • this rap an hip hop stuff is taking over the world now. guns n roses, acdc, motley crue, babalon ad, poison, warrant, and baton rouge needs to make some more songs so hard rock can come back. im only 12 and i love this music.

  • Cool song. Stupid video.

  • Great song.

    Give me this over the American Idol stuff anyday of the week, and, twice on Sunday.

    huckfinn has it right. Big Hair bands wrote their own stuff, and, they actually knew how to PLAY their instruments.

  • This is cool !

  • I agree with cwitfield1138 this was the best era for music by far!!!!!!

  • @BlazeMMDR what I appreciate about the late 80's big hair bands, is that they wrote all their own stuff. The songs didn't come through a clearing house, or sampling of 20 other songs like what is done now.

  • @huckfinn10000 That isn`t completely true.. You`d be surprised if you checked out how many hits by 80s rock bands that were actually written by someone other than the band.. Like Aerosmith, KISS, Alice Cooper, Bad English and others...

  • @tdh79 Maybe "all" wasn't the correct word to use, but if you look at the credits for who writes songs these days, you won't find very many of the band members in there. You mentioned KISS, and as a fan since 1977, I can tell you they wrote 80% of their stuff. Aerosmith, at least 75%, Bad English, don't really know, not my style of music, no idea on Alice, either. Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Poison, 100%.

  • @huckfinn10000

    Dude. You're kidding me. Look at how many 80s metal bands had credits from outside writers like Desmond Child and Jim Vallance etc. Like any genre, there was a fair amount of production-line mentality going on with some of the bands.

  • @huckfinn10000 - Not always the case. Warrant did not even write Cherry Pie and they did not want it on the album! There was plenty of lyrics that the bands took credit for. Just times have changed and now the lyric writers want more credit!

  • @NascarTigger so who wrote cherry pie if jani lane didn't write it?

  • que cancion tan buena, vida eterna al buen rock!!!!!!!

  • Thumbs up!

  • very great song!!!

  • dude sounds like sammy hagar

  • damn i love this song and i never realized the similarity, amazing its a dead on of sammy!!

  • @80smetalking3 - this video is horrendous. its a nightmare to watch. Sad too, cuz the song itself is awesome, catchy and sexy.

    @wayjay2002 - I've never seen a Desperate Video myself, I do know it was originally written by Babylon A.D. though.

  • yea , but it was the 80s and early 90s , the videos were supposed to be cheeezy , i think its funny

  • These guys made a song called desperate has anybody seen a video to this song. i've been looking for this video like forever , please let me know if anybody seen it it or ever heard of it thank you very much. kick ass video by the way.

  • The song "Desperate" was originally done by a band called Babylon A.D. & written by Jack Ponti, who produced both Babylon A.D.'s first album & Baton Rouge's 2nd album - called "Lights Out On The Playground". Both versions are terrific, but B.A.D.'s version was slightly better & much more successful commercially.

  • i love this song... actually most of both there albums were great.... but this video.. wtf! cartoony sets and all? its like watching spongebob plus tits!!! i hope that director got hit by a truck!!!

  • but she acts like a little girl.

  • What's funny is I know one of the guitarist's.Don't gotta believe me but it's true.He's the father of one of my best friends.

    Love the song.

  • @YuukiKurosawa1 Well..I know it's true is what I meant

  • @YuukiKurosawa1
