“Parental Guidance” by Judas Priest

"Parental Guidance" turned up on Turbo, Judas Priest's tenth studio album, released by Columbia in April 1986, the record where the band went glossy. Riding high after Defenders of the Faith, they first cut a double album to be called Twin Turbos, half of it built for the radio and half for pure aggression, then scrapped the plan and put the more commercial songs out as Turbo, with synthesizers on a Priest album for the first time and lyrics about love and romance in place of the usual sci-fi and fantasy.

Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton and Kenneth Downing wrote and arranged it. Halford sings, Tipton and Downing both play guitar and take solos, Ian Hill plays bass and Dave Holland drums. Tom Allom produced, Bill Dooley engineered, and the two of them mixed it with Tipton and Downing.
