This heavy metal group formed in Los Angeles, California, USA, and featured Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Robbin Crosby (guitar), Warren DeMartini (guitar), Juan Croucier (bass) and Bobby 'The Blotz' Blotzer (drums). They evolved out of '70s band Mickey Ratt, transmuting into their present form in 1983, with a hint of pop about their brand of metal similar to Cheap Trick or Aerosmith. They released a self-titled mini-album in 1983 on a local label, and struck up a close personal friendship with members of Mötley Crüe which no doubt helped them to sign to Atlantic the following year. They made their breakthrough with their first full album, OUT OF THE CELLAR, which stayed in the Billboard Top 20 for six months. They toured with Ozzy Osbourne before joining a Billy Squier jaunt where they were apparently 'thrown off' because they were more popular than the headline act.

Dr. Rock Lyrics
Ratt
You wanna take a break
We'd like to take you there
You wanna travel the world
I know about these things
It's only one of those games
You know you need to rock
Don't need to break your leg
Call your Dr. Rock
Don't need no headache
Don't need to move so slow
Don't need no heartache
Just let the good times roll
It's only one of those things
You know ya need to stop
Don't need to break your leg
Call your Dr. Rock
You know in your way
There's no other way
You'll need your time
There's no other way
Call your Dr. Rock
A runway in L.A.
The engines soothe my soul
No monkey on my back
I'm finally on the track
It's easy when the world is my home
Ya know in your way
There's no other way
You'll need your time
There's no other way
There's no other way
No other way, no other way
No other way, no other way, there's no other way
