Once Bitten is the third full-length studio album released by the American hard rock band Great White. It was released in 1987 and became a commercial success, selling more than a million copies and being certified Platinum a few years later,[3] after the band's next album ...Twice Shy had become a success. "Rock Me" became a hit single and is one of Great White's best known songs. In the UK, the track listing was strangely altered, losing four new tracks and replacing them with songs from 1986 album Shot in the Dark and with a live version of "What Do You Do". The album's opening track, "Lady Red Light", was featured on the NBC show Parks and Recreation in the episode "Tom's Divorce". The model photographed on the cover is Tracy Martinson.
