Lovin' You's A Dirty Job is a song by glam metal band Ratt. It was released as the second single from their 1990 album Detonator. The song was co-written by Ratt bassist Juan Croucier, guitarist Warren DeMartini, lead singer Stephen Pearcy and songwriter Desmond Child. The song is known for having the athemic chorus, Lovin' You's A Dirty Job, and Pearcy's raspy vocals. It is 3:14 long.
[edit] Music Video
In the music video for the song, the cliffhanger ending from Shame Shame Shame is resolved. The band performs on what appears to be another planet where the dueling airships from the previous video crashed and landed. They seduce the rival stripper-manned airship with their hot looks, musical abilities, and slick moves. It is implied that they all receive sexual favors from the strippers afterwards as a reward. However, this would be the only reward received by the band as the album flopped and their songs failed to chart. The band would disintegrate shortly afterward.
