The Song That Pretty Much Made Me a Hard Rock Fan For Life

A photo of the Scorpions in the mid or late 80s.

1984 was a great year for music (especially hard rock).  There were many  songs that year that were huge hits.  One in particular holds a special place in my heart.  Authors are taught the importance of having catchy titles for books or articles.  This song had a title that said it all, "Rock You Like a Hurricane."  I heard it outside of Fargo.  I can't remember the radio station that played it but I do remember my brother Mike getting a speeding ticket going 87 mph with my parents new car (My parents and us were driving to Grand Forks to visit my sister who had just moved there).  I heard the song and remember the DJ saying it was by the Scorpions (Which I thought was a cool name).  I did get the album Love at First Sting which it was from (Pretty sure I begged my other brother Steve to get it for me).  I will be writing many posts about it as it is a hard rock classic.  Below is the video for "Rock You Like a Hurricane."
