How did Milton Berle come to appear in a music video with one of the bands that epitomized 80s hair metal?  It probably had something to do with Ratt being managed by his nephew, Marshall Berle.  Milton was not only helping out family but letting the 80s kids know that he knew where they coming from.  In this video, he appears as both the patriarch and the matriarch of a wealthy family, a call-back to his days on Texaco Star Theater.  Presumably Milton’s cameo in this video led to a better result than the Saturday Night Live hosting gig that led to Milton Berle becoming one of the first people to ever be banned from appearing on the show.

The woman who goes up to the attic is played by Lisa Dean, who later appeared in Michael Jackson’s video for Dirty Diana.

This was one of Ratt’s biggest hits.  The band has broken up and re-formed many times over the years but, as of now, they appear to be on an indefinite hiatus.

Enjoy!
