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.

Hold Tight Lyrics
Ratt
How can there be so much pain
Just livin' day to day it's easy
How can you be so sincere
When you're whispering in my ear you're crazy
Uptown squeeze traffic lust
It's paradise its lucky dust
Never bitter or out of luck
Double or nothin's hard enough
Where urban voices speak in tongues
Hold tight let's fall in love
I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams comes true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you
How can you cry all these tears
When you're reeling in them years
How can you be so out of mind
When you eat me up alive
Uptown squeeze traffic lust
It's paradise its lucky dust
Never bitter or out of luck
Double or nothing's hard enough
Where urban voices speak in tongues
Hold tight let's fall in love
Oh yeah
I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams come true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you
I thought I knew you better
Yes I thought I did
I hope your dreams come true
I hope they come true
We're in for nasty weather
Yeah I know it too
When I'm alone with you
