"You've Got Another Thing Comin'" is a song by the heavy metal band Judas Priest from the Screaming for Vengeance album. It was released as a single in August 1982. In May, 2006 VH-1 ranked it fifth on their list of the 40 Greatest Metal Songs [1] . It was also featured in the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, as one of the songs playing on Rock station V-Rock.

It also appears on the 2005 PlayStation 2 music video game, Guitar Hero, as a playable song. However, the game incorrectly states that the song's title is "You Got Another Thing Coming".

It appears as well in Prey (video game), as a selectable song in the jukebox of the bar owned by the protagonist's girlfriend.

The phrase has now become a cliche.

Propagandhi use the chorus of the song in their song With Friends Like These Who The Fuck Needs COINTELPRO.
