Dolphins?

edit

In two places I find mention of the fact this song is about dolphins. Who's kidding whom? Has anyone read the lyrics? I defy anyone to see anything in there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.50.45.239 (talk) 04:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

"You're a real tough cookie with a long history/Of breaking little hearts like the one in me."

How can you not see the dolphin in an eco-friendly line like that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.49.228 (talk) 18:40, 13 February 2008 (UTC)Reply

Are you kidding? The song is obviously about "cum shots".--124.182.219.47 (talk) 08:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Original Lyrics

edit

Is there any truth to the rumor that the song's lyric originally was "Knock me up; it's all in vain"?--Martin IIIa (talk) 20:28, 23 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Release date?

edit

Did this song come out in 1979 or 1980? 50.81.197.48 (talk) 13:52, 31 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Cover version?

edit

The lead paragraph states that the song is best known for a cover version by Pat Benatar, but was Benatar's version actually a cover? I see nothing in the article stating that some other artist released a version of the song first. The term cover song refers to a song that was previously commercially released by another artist. Therefore, it would factually incorrect to call Benatar's version a cover version simply because Benatar herself was not the songwriter. If someone does not supply a citation for another artist commercially releasing the song prior to Benatar, the reference to it being a cover should be removed. --JamesAM (talk) 04:44, 25 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

Speaking of covers …

edit

Any reason not to mention the ADONA cover used in Birds of Prey (2020 film)?
