"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. The song's lyrics focus mainly on 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 come in at 1:01 into the song.

[edit] 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".
