every minute of it
"Turn Me Loose" isn't the most famous Loverboy song ("Working for the Weekend"), nor is it the best ("Hot Girls in Love"), nor is it the most significant (that would be late hit "Lovin' Every Minute of It," written by Robert John "Mutt" Lange; it was here that he shifted his boom-boom-bang hairmetal stomp toward pure pop and toward Canada, setting the stage for the world-historical discovery that would be Shania Twain). However, "Turn Me Loose" provides the bassline for "Standing in the Way of Control," by The Gossip, thus rescuing them from being The Cure by way of early Melissa Etheridge and distinguishing them from all the other bands currently named The [Singular Noun that is Too Inchoate to Comfortably Take a Definite Article and is Also Basically a Verb].
