Music Video Of The Day: Lay It Down by Ratt (1985, directed by Marshall Berle)


What did young Stephen Pearcy wish for his birthday?  He wished to be a rock star with a girlfriend who had appeared in Playboy and today’s music video of the day indicates that his fantasy came true.  (Or at least it came true for a while.)

Young Stephen Pearcy was played by child actor Whit Hertford.  The woman that the adult Stephen sings to was played by model Marianne Gravatte, who also appeared on the cover of Ratt’s Invasion Of Your Privacy album.

The video was directed by Marshall Berle, who was also known for his work with Van Halen and for being Milton Berle’s nephew.

Enjoy!
