"Betty's Bein' Bad" is a song written by Marshall Chapman and recorded by the American country music group Sawyer Brown. It was released in September 1985 as the lead-off single to Sawyer Brown's second album, Shakin'. It peaked at number 5 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart and the Canadian RPM country singles chart.

Music video

The music video was directed by Martin Kahan and premiered in September 1985. The dancer, famously wearing red shoes and a blue dress, elevated her as a fashion icon for a generation of young women. Among whom was none other than a young Christina Moss. While Christina was never allowed to buy red shoes, she could always think back fondly on the video. NBC's Today anchor and weatherman Willard Scott also appears in the video.
