"Heartbreaker" is a song by American singer Pat Benatar. Released in 1979 as the third single from her debut studio album ''In the Heat of the Night.'' Written and composed by Geoff Gill and Cliff Wade, the song had first been recorded by English singer Jenny Darren on her 1978 album "Queen of Fools" and Benatar made adjustments in the original lyrics as such references as "A to Zed" and "moonraker" which would have likely confused American listeners. "Heartbreaker" proved to be Benatar's breakthrough single, reaching #23 on the U.S. ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and #19 on the Cash Box Top 100. In Canada, the song peaked at number 16. Although "Heartbreaker" is only Benatar's tenth highest-charting US single, it spent four and a half months on the U.S. charts, with only three of her singles surpassing that amount of time. The song is featured as downloadable content for the music video game series ''Rock Band'', and is a playable song for the game ''Guitar Hero World Tour.'' The song is also a playable song for the game ''Karaoke Revolution: Presents American Idol,'' as well as downloadable content for its sequel, ''American Idol Encore.'' Alvin and the Chipmunks covered the song for their 1982 album ''Chipmunk Rock.'' Former ''American Idol'' finalist Allison Iraheta regularly covers the song as part of her set on the Glam Nation Tour.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Iraheta happy in support mode for 'big brother' Lambert )〕 This song was also performed by Benatar and her band in the ''Charmed'' episode "Lucky Charmed." The song was named the 72nd best hard rock song of all time by VH1. The Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, tween band The Pop Rocks performed a parody as a Steelers fan song in January 2009. ==References in Popular Culture== *In ''The Nap'' an eighth season episode of ''Seinfeld,'' George's eccentric boss Mr. Steinbrenner gets the song stuck in his head and inaccurately sings the chorus, first to George (who is trying to nap underneath the desk in his office), and then to his very young grandchildren, in an attempt to identify the tune. *A parody version was sung by Silas Weir Mitchell's character Donny Jones in the ''My Name Is Earl'' episode "The Birthday Party." *In the television series Supernatural in the episode "Black" season 10 it is used in The Road So Far. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Heartbreaker (Pat Benatar song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
