'''"Shame Shame Shame"''' is the name of a [[song]] by [[glam metal]] band [[Ratt]]. It was also released by the band [[Shirley & Company]] in 1974. It was released on their album ''[[Detonator (album)|Detonator]]''. The song's lyrics focus mainly on [[Adultery|cheating]]. The song was co-written by famed songwriter [[Desmond Child]], Ratt [[guitarist]] [[Warren DeMartini]] and lead singer [[Stephen Pearcy]]. The song is known for having a slow detuned opening [[guitar solo]], titled [["War In D"]] (an obvious play on guitarist Warren DeMartini's name), that suddenly speeds up at the 0:55 mark until the [[drums]] and the [[bass guitar|bass]] come in at 1:01 into the song.
=== Music video ===
In the [[music video]] for the song, the bandmembers are in an [[airship]]. The airship is apparently being attacked by another airship piloted and manned by a crew of [[strippers]]. The band retaliates and is successfully defeating the other airship until one of the women activates a switch called "Detonator" (most likely intended to play a pun on the album title). After doing so the band's airship blows up and the bandmembers and strippers fall safely from the sky unharmed. The cliffhanger ending is not resolved until the video for their next single, "[[Lovin' You's A Dirty Job]]".
