Ratt was a sensation for casual listeners both mainstream and otherwise but to the aspiring/budding musicians and the professional guitarists,...Warren DeMartini was always held in a higher regard like George Lynch, Jake E Lee as sort of the best of the best....Still to this day. I've been playing for 36 years...I tossed the idea around for a couple of years in my very early teens but it was Warren that brought about that moment that sent me to a dead serious and dedicated 3 hours a day practice routine that would see me to a long road to being a lifelong guitarist. I was soo inspired by Warren.
Absolutely. Extremely underrated. To this day I still have difficultly playing some passages in-time and note for note complete when playing as the only guitar in a band... it's extremely difficult at the end of the solo to hit that chorus rhythm in time and on the beat. Yea yea I know that's not how it's done on the album and they had two guitar players but... still. czcams.com/video/AXXrT7j7VW8/video.html
Lay it Down is a Classic period worthy has nothing to do with it ! Just a Bad-ass song . Invasion of Your Privacy was their hardest rocking and their Best overall record (Never Use Love) borders on straight Metal . Not a bad song on this record Ratt N Roll !!!
"Lack of Communication" is an excellent song on this album as well . I sometimes never understand how some songs on an album never get airplay... perplexing !
Fun Fact for you Kel & Rich: the reason why Milton Berle appeared in this video & the Follow-up video "Back For More", the manager for the band Ratt was Milton Berle's Nephew (So he could literally refer to him as "Uncle Milty")
Ratt wasn't a flash in the pan - they had some game. Debut album 'Out Of The Cellar' went 3X platinum, and their follow up LP 'Invasion Of Your Privacy' went 2X platinum. Several other albums went gold or platinum. A solid productive band all the way through the 90s.
Me too! my friend had a dodge dart and in the inside roof front seat we sliced the leather on the inside just enough for us to slide in a couple pints of whiskey and vodka, we NEVER got caught! I graduated in 84. We had the times of our life back then didn't we??? No future generation will ever understand what it was like in the 60's-90's like we did!
William Ayers don't know so much about that, there was a lot of production going into creating albums in the 80's. That's why some bands mimed their live performances, because they just didn't sound as good live.
@@shaunsmith7651 it wasn't as bad as it is now. The bands I saw played live unless they were filming a music video. But there were a great deal of bands that sounded really good live.
You misspelled the 70's ;-) Synths came in in force in the 80s, and music suffered. There were still, though, a ton of bands playing real instruments (including synth, just to be fair; it's a keyboard, which is an instrument), so your point has merit.
You have a point but the same can be said for any decade. Plenty of good bands that still play their instruments and play whatever they want to this day. But contrary to the advantages that the internet has, it isn't all handed to you. You have to look for it. Whether you like it or not is all personal preference, but it's still from the heart of another human being.
So i used to blast this song on the way to emergency calls as a Paramedic in the 80s. After 34 years and now retired this really brings up some great times
So thankful to get to share your journey. What an awesome way to honor your son. I'm terminally ill and trying to finish a novel, that I hope will be my legacy.
Right there with you. I also recorded it off of the radio when it first came out. Waited a few hours for the radio station to play it too! The kids nowadays will never know the pain. That song blew me away and Ratt became one of my favorite bands. Saw them play in Honolulu back in '85. 🤘
Kel's facial reactions are priceless by themselves. \m/ for 80s hairmetal! Yall have a great weekend. Oh hell yeah.. dual-cassette tapes for making your own mixes, recording off the tuner. great times!
Thanks for always putting out genuine love on all your videos, I’ve been hooked on your channel for a while now and your positive vibes keeps me coming back! Rock on ! Love you guys all the way from PSL Florida!
I saw Ratt for the first time at Donnington 1985. This was on the setlist. They exceeded my expectations, a very nice performance, much better live. Metallica and ZZ Top were at the same event so a great day all round. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I graduated HS in 1986 and was there for all of it, before and after. And the first time I saw Round and Round on MTV I immediately jumped in my 1980 Camaro Z28 and raced to my local music store and bought a black Charvel guitar which was my first of many and to this day. Warren DeMartini was my guitar hero, and will forever be one the greatest guitarists of all time. Period.
I had glanced over your videos before, but I came here today and found myself feeling absolute love for you two. Sorry it took me so long. First, I am very sorry for you loss. I realize this was uploaded several years ago. I hope the healing continues. Take care, love each other (as I can see you do). Love to both. ❤
I was 19 when this song came out and bought the album to which I still have to this date..You both do such wonderful work with the best songs available..Cheers to you both and Rock On!!!
i hung out with robbin in the summer of 1984. I followed ozzy around for that tour when Ratt toured with Ozzy. Robbin was a wonderful guy! He was a giant compared to me, but he would look you in the eye and you could sense he cared about you...imagine that?...for a guy who looked like a demi-god. I have wonderful memories of sitting at "Le Moustache" in Montreal and chatting with Robbin....Thank you Kel-n-Rich
I'm a year older than you Rich and I was the same way. That was a great time to be a teenager. To go back like you guys do is awesome. MTV, Night Flight, Headbangers Ball. Lots of fun times.
@@karlsmith2570 He was on their first album, Breaking the Chains. He even sang lead vocals on one song (not entirely, but part of it). I think he quit between that album & Tooth & Nail. Probably fed up with Don Dokken & George Lynch constantly fighting. Tom Werman was supposed to produce T&N but quit for the same reason.
That is correct about Juan and Dokken. And Jake E. Lee was RATT’s original guitarist. Also, Juan is back with Stephen in RATT now. But without Warren and Bobby.
@@karlsmith2570 I always thought it was Jeff Pilson also on bass for Dokken. With George Lynch, Don Dokken and I think the drummer was Mick Brown, the original lineup for Dokken.
My best reaction to "Round and Round" was watching legendary Milton Berle's performance in this...When they panned to him in drag (as his wife) and "adjusting her bra" it had me in tears then, and still does now...RIP Milton Berle. Interesting fact...Milton's nephew Marshall Berle was Ratt's band manager at the time.
Harry Novick - was it his son or nephew Marshall Berle? Been too long now so don’t remember exactly but it was one or the other. This song brings back great memories of my teenage years.
Wow I remember me in the school back in 1984... What a beautiful days, what a great music we used to had in those days, as you review Rich: Motley Crue (Take it to the top) Leppard, Scorpions, Sisters, Quiet Riot. Ratt Thanks Kel and Rich. Greetings from Medellín-Colombia.
I was 13 in ‘83 when I heard this on the radio for the first time. My parents had just parked the car to go shopping so I begged them to let me stay in the car to listen to Round and Round which I loved right from the start. They let me stay and then I went out and bought the album. This was definitely my first hair metal album with Motley Crue following shortly after with Shout at the Devil! Love it!
Their manager was Milton Berle's nephew IIRC. They asked him if he could appear in the video - he told them he could connect them but they would have to ask him. The rest is history.
Yeah!!! 80’s Hair Metal!!! Some of my favorite stuff came from the 80’s Hair Bands, very cool stuff. Ratt, Poison, Warrant, Mötley Crüe, Cinderella, Skid Row etc. Great bands, great music, very fun times. Kel is right, very fun music. Check out more hair bands. By the way, Milton Berle was in the video because someone in his family (niece, nephew, in laws, I can’t remember exactly who) managed the band and asked Milton Berle to appear in their debut video, Milton Berle also appeared in their second video, Back For More. \m/ Stay Metal \m/
One of the great rock songs from the 80s. Right up there with Panama, Looks that Kill and Rock You Like a Hurricane. This is from 1984. One of the greatest years of rock. One of my favorite videos from that era too. The Van Halen and Twisted Sister vids were fun too from that year.
Yeah Dude, that was one of the Heavy Metal hair band that transformed Heavy Metal into a more hard core grunge style of playing. Nice, real nice. Brings back memories. Listen to their song lay it down. Now that was a masterpiece.
Uncle Miltie!😂 Went to see Ratt 💥with Wasp🔥 as the opening act in '84 with a group of friends all between 35-40 years old!😲 OMG!🥴 We felt ancient!🤣 Everyone else was 14!😆 My "you're getting old" epiphany moment!😁🤯😠😁😢
The reason "Uncle Milty" was in the video is the lead singer is his nephew. And yes, this has always been right up there with Twisted sister and Quiet riot as "Fun" groups! We can sort of laugh at ourselves for the guilt of fully liking this and the other hits that made the big hair 80's what it was.
You are terrific. We see you and appreciate you. Much love from the two of us. Please keep in touch. Email us or Facebook asked if you want to talk 1 on 1.
Volume balance between you and song was nearly perfect to me. Loved this song. Ratt, Def Leopard, and a couple of others saved the eighties for me musically. I grew up in the sixties and seventies. You know, the decades with plenty of good music. :) Nice reaction. New sub.
Graduated in 84- the soundtrack of my youth... it was an amazing era of music. Concert tickets were under $20 so we could afford to see all the shows. Recorded VHS tapes full of MTV’s Head Bangers Ball videos like Ratt, Ozzie, Dio, Motley Crue, Skid Row, Van Halen etc. and had awesome late night parties.
I remember a transplant to my school from L.A. who couldn't believe we never heard of this band in Missouri before. This happened about a month later and Wow!
I loved this video! I miss MTV. I remember the first time I saw I saw Flock of Seagulls, “I Ran”, and thinking this is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen!
Went to college in the Catskills. Saw Ratt in a bar called the Attic, which actually was an attic above another bar. It was rated for 30 people. There were 300 in the place when the fire company came in, turned on the light and shut it down mid set!
listening to music together is true love .My mother was a gestalt synergist and a registered nurse her body work has enabled me to become highly advanced in tai chi and shoulder transfers with a hula hoop
So I enjoyed you guys a lot. My son died of asthma at 29 years old on Christmas Eve so I just felt you guys. Hair Metal , ironMaiden, Dio it all was what I was into.
One of my favorite songs . I remember when it came out , I played it over and over again for hours in my 1969 Chevy Nova while I just cruised around when I was in my teens .
Don't forget at the time...RATT was managed by Beau Hill , the nephew of Milton Berle. He rung up his uncle and had him appear in video. Totally helped RATT make it, as this video was often requested for on MTV.
I remember taping off the radio and missing the beginning or end of the song because of the DJ talking into it. 😅 You guys are great! ✌ Saw Ratt open for Motley Crue in Springfield Mass. 1984
Warren DiMartini, the guitarist that fell through the ceiling, was one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet. In an interview he said he never wanted to be famous, he had a touch of the stage freight and wished he could be back in the shadows behind the drummer at concerts. Nowadays he is married with children and living the good life. Im glad at least one metal player from back then actually survived it and is a normal person today. Thats easier said than done!
Milton Berle!!! I totally forgot too :D :D Sooo funny!!! Great song. I recall in a college dorm room (BGSU), our neighbors would play this through their 4ft tall speakers :D . I like Ratt's debut album ;)
Love the song, and your reaction. "Round And Round" was one of my favorite songs by Ratt. I especially like the chorus: "Round and round With love we'll find a way just give it time Round and round What comes around goes around I'll tell you why." Damn those were some cool days! Thanks you two! BTW Kel, I love your MTV shirt! \m/
Rich, you have a good voice for radio, seriously. I thought it was funny seeing Kel getting into the visual story line of the video while we guys are all out here getting into the riffs and the vocals. Men’s brain vs. woman’s brain. Good stuff. My condolences about your son. As a parent my heart goes out to you both. Rock on you two!
The ads cover up the sight gag of the old butler rocking out! When I was a young teenager I thought the girl wearing the tiara was so beautiful. Seeing this now I still think she is.
Dude, you pick the best sh+t to turn her on to. As a guitar player, these hair songs with the big drums and killer guitar riffs is exactly what turned me on to playing. Warren coming through the ceiling... OMG. Steve
Hello Kel and Rich. Its been a while. I'm glad yall are still doing your thing during these tough times. I think you would enjoy a song called Fade in/ Fade out by Nothing More. I know yall are mostly evolved in classics but its a pretty beautiful song. If your not sure just take my word for it. K guys see yall in later episodes. You guys are the best.
Great choice! I agree about the ads at the end. They cover up most of the video content. Utterly ridiculous! Anywho... you guys have to react to the great Japanese metal band LOUDNESS, 'Rock And Roll Crazy Nights' (the video version, which shows them playing live up close). Lots of love from Cleveland!
This is actually one of the great 80s singles in any genre.
Yes!
I remember the summer it came out. It was HUGE
Ratt, Skid Row, Dokken and in a way, Savatage were all hair bands with street credibility.
no it isn't ratt was terrible this is probably the best song that they had. and it still sucked lmao.
Warren DeMartini, one of my favorite guitarists.
@Greg Craddock I here you on that front bro. DeMartini is a criminally underrated guitarist with some extremely tasty and innovative licks.
Ratt was a sensation for casual listeners both mainstream and otherwise but to the aspiring/budding musicians and the professional guitarists,...Warren DeMartini was always held in a higher regard like George Lynch, Jake E Lee as sort of the best of the best....Still to this day.
I've been playing for 36 years...I tossed the idea around for a couple of years in my very early teens but it was Warren that brought about that moment that sent me to a dead serious and dedicated 3 hours a day practice routine that would see me to a long road to being a lifelong guitarist.
I was soo inspired by Warren.
Warren DiMartini was one of the guitar greats of the 1980s, period.
Absolutely. Extremely underrated. To this day I still have difficultly playing some passages in-time and note for note complete when playing as the only guitar in a band... it's extremely difficult at the end of the solo to hit that chorus rhythm in time and on the beat.

I was addicted to Ratt. Loved Stephen Pearcy's raspy voice and DeMartini on the guitars. Lay it Down is review worthy as well.
Lay it Down is a Classic period worthy has nothing to do with it ! Just a Bad-ass song . Invasion of Your Privacy was their hardest rocking and their Best overall record (Never Use Love) borders on straight Metal . Not a bad song on this record Ratt N Roll !!!
“Out Of The Cellar” was a masterpiece. One of my favorite records of all time.
I prefer their second one “IOYP”....more consistent
in your direction is good
I wore my cassette out! Lol
@HQVideoDude same here, except in my case, I opted to get it on CD instead
I love Ratt !! We dont get music like this anymore /cry
This entire album was killer
Complete stripper music!!))
The Morning After will always be my favorite.
Try ''Lay It Down''. The riff is more than awesome...
warren is badass just like with George lynch
Lay It down tiene el mejor riff de la historia del Hard rock
Warren de Martini es el Dios del Hard Rock
"Lack of Communication" is an excellent song on this album as well . I sometimes never understand how some songs on an album never get airplay... perplexing !
Fun Fact for you Kel & Rich: the reason why Milton Berle appeared in this video & the Follow-up video "Back For More", the manager for the band Ratt was Milton Berle's Nephew (So he could literally refer to him as "Uncle Milty")
Awesome! I just commented on that...What a legend that Milton Berle was...RIP.
Ratt wasn't a flash in the pan - they had some game. Debut album 'Out Of The Cellar' went 3X platinum, and their follow up LP 'Invasion Of Your Privacy' went 2X platinum. Several other albums went gold or platinum. A solid productive band all the way through the 90s.
Dave E the most under rated 80s band
They had a pretty good run!
They definitely weren't a one hit wonder
Actually, out of the cellar was ratt's second album. They had their initial self titled ep debut.
Actually, "Out of the Cellar" was their 2nd album, their first album was self-titled
Had this cassette! Wore it out! Loved the whole album.Wanted Man and Back for More..shoot.every song on this one is good!🎶🎶❤
Me too! my friend had a dodge dart and in the inside roof front seat we sliced the leather on the inside just enough for us to slide in a couple pints of whiskey and vodka, we NEVER got caught! I graduated in 84. We had the times of our life back then didn't we??? No future generation will ever understand what it was like in the 60's-90's like we did!
Wore this and Invasion of Your Privacy out. Two of my favorite 80s albums.
the 80's were the decade when music was real, pure and uninterrupted. It was also the decade when musicians played their instruments.
William Ayers don't know so much about that, there was a lot of production going into creating albums in the 80's. That's why some bands mimed their live performances, because they just didn't sound as good live.

So i used to blast this song on the way to emergency calls as a Paramedic in the 80s. After 34 years and now retired this really brings up some great times
Body Talk by RATT. Heard it in The Golden Child movie and have been a fan since.
Liv Tyler is the girl on this.
@@mrmjb1960The young lady in the video is model Lisa Dean. She unfortunately passed away in 2009.
One of my favorite songs by ratt. But still love that slap in the face grit of lovin you is a dirty job
Eddie Murphy loves ratt look up Eddie Murphy on IMDB Stephen Percy is good friend's with Eddie and Whoopi Goldberg
You two are great! I enjoy your happiness as well as Kel's reactions to all this great music! Thank you both.
So thankful to get to share your journey. What an awesome way to honor your son. I'm terminally ill and trying to finish a novel, that I hope will be my legacy.
Dangerous song to play while driving on the freeway 😁 Heavy right foot...😉 Have a great weekend and keep up the awesome work being just you guys 🤘😀
Right there with you. I also recorded it off of the radio when it first came out. Waited a few hours for the radio station to play it too! The kids nowadays will never know the pain. That song blew me away and Ratt became one of my favorite bands. Saw them play in Honolulu back in '85. 🤘
Kel's facial reactions are priceless by themselves. \m/ for 80s hairmetal! Yall have a great weekend. Oh hell yeah.. dual-cassette tapes for making your own mixes, recording off the tuner. great times!

Cool how on parts of the "round and round" the echo actually comes in ahead of the lead voice.
I've always called it "pre-verb."
@@robert___t That's a good one. I don't know why it never registered with me that it was even happening lol cool though.
@TheSnoop2222 I've got a Whole Lotta Love that says it's not *entirely* unique. ;-)
Loved their songs back then. "Lay it Down" was one of the songs my band in high school covered (drummer here😁)

Mountain - Mississippi Queen this is a rocker from the first note. Great lead vocals and guitar!!
I totally forgot about Uncle Milty in this, I want my MTV!!
His son was Ratt's manager.

This song brings back great memories of my teenage years.
@@NaturalMystic69 It might have been his nephew. I could be wrong because it was many moons ago.

Stephen is living clean once again and sounding really good. Jordan Ziff is the new lead guitarist and is quite an amazing young talent. #rattandroll
your channel is great and thank you...your the cool couple on the block to just sit down and have a beer with and catch up. thank you for the channel!
Yeah Dude, that was one of the Heavy Metal hair band that transformed Heavy Metal into a more hard core grunge style of playing. Nice, real nice. Brings back memories. Listen to their song lay it down. Now that was a masterpiece.
Uncle Miltie!😂 Went to see Ratt 💥with Wasp🔥 as the opening act in '84 with a group of friends all between 35-40 years old!😲 OMG!🥴 We felt ancient!🤣 Everyone else was 14!😆 My "you're getting old" epiphany moment!😁🤯😠😁😢
Lol. Yes! RATT! Love it cause Kels smiling.
I saw RATT at the Greensboro Coliseum ticket lobby one night after a hockey game.
The reason "Uncle Milty" was in the video is the lead singer is his nephew. And yes, this has always been right up there with Twisted sister and Quiet riot as "Fun" groups! We can sort of laugh at ourselves for the guilt of fully liking this and the other hits that made the big hair 80's what it was.
this brings back memories. I know their discography by heart, but I never saw this video go figure. thanx guys
Milton appears because Ratts manager was Miltons nephew.
I just read that Milton Berle was an early rock n' roll supporter. He had Bill Haley and the Comets on the Texaco Star Theatre in 1955, I believe.
Yeah Marshall Burl was Ratt's Manager.
What a great channel...you two are the best. I always find myself hitting like before the music even starts! Keep rocking \m/
You are terrific. We see you and appreciate you. Much love from the two of us. Please keep in touch. Email us or Facebook asked if you want to talk 1 on 1.

Hi guys i saw Ratt in Corpus Christi, TX. twice the 1st and 2nd album tours.
I’m so sorry about your loss. I hope this is helping with the healing process.
This album was the very first LP record that I purchased on my own with my own money. Good memories.
I remember a transplant to my school from L.A. who couldn't believe we never heard of this band in Missouri before. This happened about a month later and Wow!
They were Mickey Ratt with Jack E Lee on guitar before he recorded Bark at the Moon
I love y’all and I’m sending y’all prayers and love from Commerce Georgia ❤️🇺🇸🔥❌
You guys should do wasp “wild child” another great one
I've always liked their song You're In Love, awesome riff that gets stuck in you're head.
You guys are jewels. Thanks so much..

was another great tune to drive around and listen to while your crusin' just for fun when you were a teenager in the 80's
Ratt was my first club show for their Out of the Cellar tour. $5 at the Bayou in Washington, DC.
One of my favorite songs . I remember when it came out , I played it over and over again for hours in my 1969 Chevy Nova while I just cruised around when I was in my teens .
I was 8 in 1984 and i remember recording songs off the radio. Does anybody remember Dr Demento?
Fish heads, fish heads, rolie polie fish heads
Don't forget at the time...RATT was managed by Beau Hill , the nephew of Milton Berle.
He rung up his uncle and had him appear in video.
Totally helped RATT make it, as this video was often requested for on MTV.
I played that song in 3 different and it all ways kicked ass . Thanks guys Love ya
I remember taping off the radio and missing the beginning or end of the song because of the DJ talking into it. 😅
You guys are great! ✌
Saw Ratt open for Motley Crue in Springfield Mass. 1984
You guys are in my prayers ... Much love
Warren DiMartini, the guitarist that fell through the ceiling, was one of the most underrated guitarists on the planet. In an interview he said he never wanted to be famous, he had a touch of the stage freight and wished he could be back in the shadows behind the drummer at concerts. Nowadays he is married with children and living the good life. Im glad at least one metal player from back then actually survived it and is a normal person today. Thats easier said than done!
Yeah, the 80s was such a carefree and fun time.
Here in 2024, I want my fun back.
Oh hell yeah! Friday's just turned into super Friday's with Kel-n-Rich! Ratt-N-Roll! \m/
Kel N´Rich, sorry for your loss! Music heals, absolutely right. Lots of hugs!
Milton Berle!!! I totally forgot too :D :D
Sooo funny!!! Great song. I recall in a college dorm room (BGSU), our neighbors would play this through their 4ft tall speakers :D . I like Ratt's debut album ;)
You guys are awesome. Keep Rocking.🎸
Love the song, and your reaction. "Round And Round" was one of my favorite songs by Ratt. I especially like the chorus:
"Round and round
With love we'll find a way just give it time
Round and round
What comes around goes around
I'll tell you why."
Damn those were some cool days! Thanks you two! BTW Kel, I love your MTV shirt! \m/
Rich, you have a good voice for radio, seriously. I thought it was funny seeing Kel getting into the visual story line of the video while we guys are all out here getting into the riffs and the vocals. Men’s brain vs. woman’s brain. Good stuff. My condolences about your son. As a parent my heart goes out to you both. Rock on you two!
Maiden power slave, Dio holy diver, scorpions love at first sting, Van Halen 1984 all came out that year I never realized that til just now. WOW
Steve Clark+ Dio Holy Diver came out in 1983. It was The Last in Line that came out in 1984.
@@travissloan6864 oh I thought it was opposite ,I stand corrected thanks
Where have you been guys
I havent seen you making shows for a long time!
Welcome back !
Amazing band y'all ,Kel's reaction priceless,80s so much fun rock on 🤙🤘
The ads cover up the sight gag of the old butler rocking out!
When I was a young teenager I thought the girl wearing the tiara was so beautiful. Seeing this now I still think she is.
Dude, you pick the best sh+t to turn her on to. As a guitar player, these hair songs with the big drums and killer guitar riffs is exactly what turned me on to playing. Warren coming through the ceiling... OMG. Steve
Hey, u must see !!! Nightwish life @ Buenos Aires. Devil and the deep dark ocean. MINDBLOWING
performance. I promiss u :-)))
Hello Kel and Rich. Its been a while. I'm glad yall are still doing your thing during these tough times. I think you would enjoy a song called Fade in/ Fade out by Nothing More. I know yall are mostly evolved in classics but its a pretty beautiful song. If your not sure just take my word for it. K guys see yall in later episodes. You guys are the best.
THANK YOU FOR DOING RATT!!!!! do one good lover next ;-)
I was only 19 but I remember them fondly
Great choice! I agree about the ads at the end. They cover up most of the video content. Utterly ridiculous! Anywho... you guys have to react to the great Japanese metal band LOUDNESS, 'Rock And Roll Crazy Nights' (the video version, which shows them playing live up close). Lots of love from Cleveland!
Yeah!!!! Ratt!!! I discovered them back then with that video and fell in love with band for years!!!! Do any of their songs i will love it!! :-)
You guys look good together, the love between yall agrees with yall !!!👍👍👍
#Kel n Rich former Quiet Riot guitar player Carlos Carvazo played in "RATT"
Kel's expression when she realizes Milton Berle dressed in drag. Priceless!
