This is the Hair-Metal One Hit Wonder that brought Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei together in The Wrestler.
Vid stars Milton Berle.
-
This was a certified Number One single in the U.S.A.
Topped out at #22 in NZ.
(From memory I believe Hollywood movie releases in the 1970s sometimes took half-a-year from American public release to hit the screens in Auckland, so the lag may explain the discrepancy in charting position.)
-
@Salacious-Crumb shit band, but RATT had i think 3 platinum albums and two top 40 tracks.
-
Nit-picking, but I’ll concede the point. Their highest charting single post-Round and Round was “Lay It Down” which did indeed hit #40 on Billboard for all of one week. Nothing else from their catalog came anywhere near as high.

there's probably a pretty decent reason for that. I am still astounded they had 3 platinum albums, and one that went close!
-
This hit No. 1 in America in 1973. They never made top 40 again. Great song, amazing production.
-
And if this hasn’t been mentioned yet, how can you not? Strangely this is a staple of rock radio in USA still today but never actually charted higher in the States than #18 (wut??) whereas did chart Top Ten in NZ, Aus & UK

@Salacious-Crumb The third time Ram Jam has been mentioned.
The Ratt video I remember seeing the most on TV was "Wanted Man".
Here's one. Loved the show.

@Nevorian Good god no. They had a ton of hits.
Best thing about the verve is if, like me, you can play about 10 chords on the guitar, you can play their entire back catalogue. Fairplay to Ashcroft though, stunningily smooth voice.
Guilty pleasure, i like their songs...
fuck off
