MusicWarrant’s Steven Sweet admits ‘Cherry Pie’ music video is ‘misogynistic’In documentary, the musician reflected on the 1990s hittoday at 13:34

THE Warrant reflected on his past and specifically the music video for “Cherry Pie”.

In the documentary Nöthin’ But a Good Time: The Uncensored Story of ’80s Hair Metalthe drummer Steven Sweet he said: “Warrant It was all about having fun without hurting anyone. I know we didn’t think of it as a misogynistic video, although it was, in retrospect.”

The singer’s then girlfriend Jani Lane, Bobbie Brownstars in the music video, which intercuts scenes of her dancing on a car, while being wet with a hose, and the band singing the song.

For the former MTV executive Rick Krimthe “Cherry Pie” video took sex appeal “to the extreme.” “I don’t even know if it was questioned at the time. Objectifying women kind of became the norm,” she said. “You look back now and think, ‘How did we miss that?'”

From Brown’s point of view

Bobbie Brown also recalled the music video in his memoir Cherry on Top. In an interview with Peopleshe stated: “There was a time when I was like, ‘Oh, God, this again. ‘ I had done so many other things besides just being in a music video, and yet I was just the ‘girl from Cherry Pie. ‘ I thought it was absurd. But as I got older, I accepted it.”

The reality is that this is how most people know me. This is why most people are interested in me… And it’s never been a negative experience in my life. So there’s no reason to have negative feelings about it. I don’t need to make it a negative experience. I’ve accepted it. I’m totally okay with it today.
