Mutt Lange was so prolific in the '80s that even acts he wasn't producing were delivering hits with his name on them. Lange wrote "Lovin' Every Minute of It," which became the title track to the band's fourth album. Like his work with Def Leppard, the song has a huge group chorus, layered keyboards, sound effects and vaguely sexual references like "shoot me like a rocket into space." It's hit material, and Loverboy delivered. The song was their biggest chart hit in America. The video was shot at the Holiday Inn in Hollywood. In the clip, we see a lounge act performing a really lame version of "Working For The Weekend" before cutting to Loverboy throwing a huge party on the second floor. Jerry Kramer and Rick Rosenthal were the directors. The waitress in the video who gets a bill stuffed down her shirt by Mike Reno is Jenilee Harrison, who was on the shows Three's Company and Dallas. In 2016, this song featured in a commercial for National Car Rental featuring Patrick Warburton of Seinfeld fame. "As the boys from Loverboy so eloquently noted," he says upon entering a vehicle occupied by the band as this song blares, "I'm lovin' every minute of it."

I'm not a man or machine
I'm just something in between
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
I'm all love, a dynamo
So push the button and let me go
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)

Aah, you want me to come alive?
Flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire

Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it (lovin')
(Lovin' every minute of it)

Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it (C'mon!)

I got fun, you want some?
I'm ever ready, Dr. Love
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
I'm antenna, aerial
I'm tunin' in, I'm outta control
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)

Aah, you got love, you got a deal
You wanna drive then take the wheel
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire

Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it

Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it
Lovin' every minute of it (All right!)

Oh, you want me to come alive?
So flick the switch into overdrive
You and me can let it be
Ready (ready), aim (aim), fire

Touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Lovin' every minute of it (lovin')
(Lovin' every minute of it)

Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)

C'mon and touch that dial
Turn me on
Start me like a motor
Make me run
Turn that dial all the way
Shoot me like a rocket into space
Lovin' every minute of it
(Lovin' every minute of it)
(Whoa-oh, whoa-whoa)
