    Default Solved:Trivia contest--name that tune

    I'm working a trivia "scavenger hunt" of sorts on mentalfloss.com and am stuck on one of their name-that-tune clips.

    The link below plays a clip of only about a second, sounds like an 80's hair/metal band. Any experts in here know the artist and/or track?

    Looking over the other clips/titles in the contest, they all seem to have two-word titles beginning with hot (Hot Blooded, Hot Stuff). Anybody know of a good database/file of song titles I can troll?

    Definitely has to have "hot" in the title, doesn't quite sound like any of the ones that jumped to my head (Hot Legs, Hot Child In The City, Hot For Teacher, Hot & Nasty, Hot & Bothered, Hot In The City)

    The other two songs were from 1978 and 1979 (Hot Blooded, Hot Stuff), so I'm thinking it has to be Billboard top 100 in terms of popularity, probably circa 1977-1983.

    Deadline was extended 'till' Wednesday night. Any ideas?

    Pat Benatar did a cover of "Hot Child in the City"
    Them that can, do; them that can't... memorize Artist and Title

    Apologies for not closing the loop--that was, in fact Avril Lavigne. Nicely done!
