Hot babes and muscle cars! Fun summer song.
Lots of eye candy and slides of Scorpions and Michael Schenker also.
Awesome title cut to their 1979 release, their sixth overall and the birth of the classic sound with Matthias Jabs. Per Wikipedia...The cover depicted a man and woman in formalwear seated in the back of a car, with one of the woman's breasts exposed and connected to the man's hand by stretched bubblegum. It was created by Storm Thorgerson of the design firm Hipgnosis. It caused some controversy upon the album's release and was subsequently banned,[1] with later pressings of the album bearing a simple design of a blue scorpion on a black background.[2][3] The album's artwork was named "Best album sleeve of 1979" by Playboy magazine.[citation needed]
Recalling the cover photo with the girl and the car, Thorgerson remarked: "Not exactly the most politically correct scene you've ever seen. I thought it was funny, but women read a different inflection into it now."[3]
In a 2010 interview, singer Klaus Meine commented on the album cover, stating: "[W]e just did not know it would be a problem in America, it was just sex and rock 'n' roll. It is odd that in America that some of these covers were a problem because in the 80's when we would tour here we always had boobs flashed to us at the front of the stage. Nowhere else in the world, just here. We just did not think it would be a problem to put out a record like Lovedrive in America. Deadly Sting: The Mercury Years was banned at Wal Mart and Pure Instinct was banned as well."
