''Penetrator'' is the eighth studio album by American rock musician Ted Nugent. It was released in January 1984 by Atlantic Records. "Tied Up in Love" was made into a promo clip to support the album. It reached No. 56 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart. The song "(Where Do You) Draw the Line", written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance, was originally recorded by Adams for his hit 1984 album '' Reckless'' but was left off the final track list.
