There should be note of the controversy surrounding her fairly uncontroversial song "Hell is for Children". Mike H 03:54, Oct 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I need some help.

I am doing this music project for school, and I am stuck on this. I need to know what insturments are used in the song "Heartbreaker" by Pat Benatar.

[edit] Gay Icon Project

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:12, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

She isn't even gay, so how can she be a gay icon? That is totally out of question. I am removing this category unless you give me sufficient reasoning or evidence not to do so. Эйрон Кинни 21:47, 10 December 2005 (UTC)

The article doesn't say the person himself/herself needs to be gay, only be "a celebrity with wide-spread fans from the LGBT community". (Entheta 00:33, 18 February 2006 (UTC))

Agreed, according to the definition of "gay icon" given, Pat Benatar fits several of the requirements and needs not be gay herself in order to do that. I saw Pat Benatar live in 2006 there were MANY lesbian fans in attendance. It is the lyrical content of female strength in her songs that apparently prompts her to fit the category.

[edit] suggestions

Someone should add in the other band members and the fact that there were no videos filmed for some of her most popular singles.

Good idea. I'll add in a bit about the band. Ariochiv 19:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] American Chopper (The Tuttle Family)

I'm watching American Chopper last night and see a new intro for the program. Is that Pat Benatar?!?!? It sure looks like her. And I swear I heard hear name mentioned, but I was in the kitchen and can't be sure. William (Bill) Bean 15:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
