Am I crazy or is the dude in Patty Smyth’s Warrior video wearing the same gray leotard outfit as the chick at the end of Ratt’s Round and Round video? Both songs came out in 1984.
Related trivia:
- The late Milton Berle appears in the Ratt video as both a guy and a lady.
- “Uncle Miltie” was long rumored to have the largest penis in Hollywood. I said “long”! Heh heh.
- Patty Smyth is married to temperamental tennis dude John McEnroe.
- John McEnroe was previously married to cracked-out Oscar winner Tatum O’Neal.
- THANK YOU TO THE LOVELY LAURA. She pointed out that Ratt’s manager was Milton Berle’s nephew and that’s how Berle came to be in the video. It amuses me that Berle was really someone’s Uncle Miltie.

Haha funny.
I had a crush on daddy o’neal when I was 10 though, damn he looked hot in Paper Moon. Sad story for both daughter and daddy, however.
Prunella Jones says
Oh, I love that Ratt song! I had forgotten all about it. Thanks for posting.
Now I feel like buying a can of hairspray and a back comb.

Lynn, very sad, messed-up family.
Prunella, I know, I am yearning for some big hair and brightly colored makeup. I’d also like to be 17 again for a day.
ENC, I have a knack for noticing the unimportant details.
Sharon Rose, they must have just packed up all the stuff after making one video and walked it over to the other set.
Riz, does your friend play tennis WITH McEnroe?!

So…there was one gray leotard in circulation during 1984?
riz says
actually my friend used to coach tennis in the hamptons somewhere as a summer gig, and he also met Nuclear Wintour and Mcenroe…
BTW – I read your comments on Miss C’s blog about TRB. Loves it!

Yes, they are amazingly similar! You have such a sharp eye to capture this and the trivia sound so funny! A great observation!
Nay'Chelle says
Haha. That’s really funny how similar they are. It was just such an amazingly awesome leotard that they just couldn’t help but reuse it over again.
