NoahLutz Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I've been watching some music videos from the early MTV era, and I wanted to see the one for Hit Me With Your Best Shot. For some reason I remember a video with Benatar in a boxing ring. Unfortunately, I can't seem to find any official video for the studio version of the song. Have I misremembered the existence of this video, or has it been scrubbed from the internet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Carmina Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 This may be one of those "Mandela Effect" things the kids are always on about, because I sure think I remember hearing that song on MTV, but now that I'm asked about it, the specifics all fade away. In short, I can't help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughedatbytime Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It may have been scrubbed, given that Benatar no longer includes the song in her live set because it, in her telling, could be construed as referring to gun violence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw that explanation many times, but it was always in relation to her not playing the song live. I can't even find one reference to the video.

When I saw her 15 years ago or so she had ladies from the audience sing it, because she was sick of it. I relate, as I hated playing it in the band I was drumming in.
