This song from the Out Of The Cellaralbum could describe the state of affairs for members of the band at times. Released in 1984, this song soon became a fan favorite. It remains one of their most requested songs today.
The hit single from the Detonatoralbum was co-written by Desmond Child, who has authored or co-authored many popular rock and pop anthems. The song’s focus was people who are unfaithful to their romantic partners. The music video had a cliffhanger ending, which wasn’t resolved until the release of the video for the song “Lovin’ You’s A Dirty Job.”
The old adage “loose lips sink ships” takes on new meaning in this single from the 1986 release Dancing Undercover. The track describes a not-so-subtle desire of Pearcy underscored by the fabulous guitar work of Crosby and DeMartini. Another modern rock classic that still gets a fair amount of airplay.
The leadoff track from Ratt’s Invasion Of Your Privacywas also their second single released by Atlantic Record. The music video for the song is a mixture of live concert footage and clips from romantic moments from many well-known cartoons and movies. The song was a top 100 hit in the US.

Ratt took on a Wild West theme with this song from Out Of The Cellar. The track was also featured on the Weird Sciencemovie soundtrack. In the accompanying music video, the band members travel back in time to the last century, where they partake in a shootout with another group of cowboys who are up to no good.
Another popular song from Out Of The Cellarwith very transparent lyrics. A simple message about the tough choice between desire and reality. It’s one of the most played Ratt songs during their concert tours.
The first single from Invasion Of Your Privacywas also Ratt’s second top 40 radio hit. The music video tells a tale of Pearcy making a birthday wish and getting a glimpse into possible future events. In the end, we assume that he got what he wished for.
Many people may only know this song because of the appearance of comedy legend Milton Berle in the music video. It’s also a great song, and was Ratt’s highest-charting single. It reached #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. The catchy tune is still being used in movie and television soundtracks decades after its release in 1984. Despite the ...
