"Rock You Like a Hurricane" is the one of the most famous songs by German hard rock/heavy metal band Scorpions. The song, which is one of the most popular heavy metal anthems of all time was released as the second track of their 1984 album Love at First Sting.

This album contains many other hits as well the ballad "Still Loving You". This song was ranked fourth in the greatest guitar riffs of all time by "Sync" magazine^{[citation needed]}. Upon release the song became a massive and popular hit.

The racetrack depicted on the sleeve corresponds to the Circuito Permanente de Jerez, located in Spain.

In the 2000 film Little Nicky, the song was played after the character Nicky, played by Adam Sandler, says to his mother upon returning to Hell, "I'm gonna rock that place like a hurricane!"

Today, the NHL team Carolina Hurricanes plays the song as the team takes the ice at their home games and is considered one of the most influential Rock and Roll Anthems of all time. In 2006 VH1 named Rock You Like a Hurricane number 31 on their 40 Greatest Metal Songs ^[1].
