What about George Thorogood and the Destroyers?

Bad to the Bone...

 On the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
And she said "leave this one alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone

Bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad to the bone
B-B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

I broke a thousand hearts
Before I met you
I'll break a thousand more, baby
Before I am through
I wanna be yours pretty baby
Yours and yours alone
I'm here to tell ya honey
That I'm bad to the bone
Bad to the bone
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
B-B-B-Bad
Bad to the bone

My husband and i have a challenge for y'all.  Its a 1980's MTV Trivia question

'Video Killed the Radio Star' by the Buggles was the first music video played on MTV

OK now here's the trivia question:

What was the second music video played on MTV, and who performed it?

HINT ( She rocked)  good luck!

Don't even know if I got the right time a decade, but might it have been "I Love Rock & Roll" by Joan Jett & the Blackhearts?
2015 - Toronto: Pan Am Games
2015 - Edmonton, Montréal, Ottawa, Vancouver, Winnipeg: Woman's World Cup of Soccer

GOOD try... I loved Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and I had a mad crush on her, but the chick we are looking for had more hits and more duration.  Kinda classic rock of the 1980's

I know who it was, I think,

Pat Benatar- the song Hit Me with Your Best Shot I think, but I am not sure of that.

I liked Joan Jett much better than Pat.

Yes! It was Pat Benatar, but you have the wrong song...the song is a not so nice song :'(

 I liked Joan Jett better too  ;)   Her music was more fun!

Yeah, I knew it was Pat Benater, but I wasn't sure about the song.

What was the song?  Oh yeah, it was the one with the video with all those girls fighting or something.

But Joan Jett was so cool, actually she still is.

Okay, I have a Joan Jett story.  She walked right by me last summer, I think she may even have saw me.  She was shooting a video and I sort of walked into where it was happening, and then she walked by.

She looked great, and really cool 8)
