This song is the re-written version of "If You Were a Woman (And I Was a Man)" he originally wrote for Bonnie Tyler.
This is actually a disco song, just rocked out a little bit. Paul Stanley, who co-wrote the song has stated that it was a conscious effort on his part to prove how easy it was to write and record a hit disco song.
For this song, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts received a nomination at the 31st Grammy Awards for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
This song always reminds me of Mrs. Doubtfire and the epic scene. Unforgettable!
I'm here! :) I absolutely love this song! I don't mind who co-wrote it, but Alice Cooper's voice goes so well with the lyrics. Amazing song!
Where is Britgirl to say some good words about this song?
I think this song will never get old.
It was entirely written by Desmond Child but he was dissatisfied with the song's chart success. So he re-wrote the song as "You Give Love a Bad Name" for Bon Jovi and the band also added some elements.
Actually Desmond Child co-wrote all songs except one on their album "Humanity: Hour I".
