897. Turbo Lover by Judas Priest (1986)

This song needs no interpretation. I saw a piece on the news about Megan Fox and this came to mind. Go figure! Listeners can hear the eighties influence on Priest in this song as it includes synthesizers. The video features the band on motorcycles in some post apocalyptic wasteland.
