"Round and Round" is Ratt's biggest hit single, reaching #12 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1984. The tune was ranked #51 on VH1: 100 Greatest Songs of the '80s and was named the 61st best hard rock song of all time also by VH1.
In the song's music video, Milton Berle (uncle of Ratt manager Marshall Berle) plays both the staid head-of-household as well as the family matron (echoing his famous cross-dressing stunts of the 1950s). Both characters seem perturbed by the loud volume of Ratt's playing, and quickly leave the table.
Meanwhile, a seemingly shy yet attractive young woman (played by Lisa Dean, who would later turn up in the video for Michael Jackson's "Dirty Diana") is drawn by the music to the attic. On the way upstairs to the attic, her dress and wig fall off, and she gives herself a makeover. The woman appears in the attic as a completely different person, and begins dancing to the song.
At the end of the video, the butler is dressed as a metalhead and excitedly dancing to the music in a separate room.
The song's video was placed on New York Times list of the 15 Essential Hair-Metal Videos.
