Shot through the heart is the opening lyric of You Give Love a Bad Name, released in 1986 as the lead single from Bon Jovi's third album Slippery When Wet. The song became the band's first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and helped turn them into global rock stars. Its dramatic opening line has outlived the full track online, circulating on soundboards and in short edits where creators need an instant, over the top reaction to romantic disappointment, betrayal or a comedic setback.
