"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. Ironically, the song is a "filler" in the true sense of the word, meaning that it was specifically written to round up the album; little did the band know that it would have became one of their most famous and successful songs.

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.

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