"Slip of the Lip" is a song recorded by American glam metal band Ratt in 1986 from the album "Dancing Undercover" and is also on their greatest hits album "Ratt & Roll 81-91". The three minute, fifteen second long song is one of the band's most popular among its fanbase. It was composed by Ratt vocalist Stephen Pearcy, bassist Juan Croucier, and guitarist Warren DeMartini.

Music video

In the music video for the song, a female freelance reporter named Kitty Galore (an allusion to Ian Fleming's Pussy Galore character) is sent to a Ratt concert to spy on the band for the fictional "Spy Magazine". Ratt then commences to play at said concert, the music of which compels Kitty Galore to dance along provocatively even while under assignment. Though sexually aroused, Kitty Galore must still complete her "mission" of uncovering the "mystique" behind the group as well as finding what their third album, "Dancing Undercover" "is all about". The end of the video has Kitty Galore catching a snapshot of Ratt lead vocalist Stephen Pearcy, after which the two suddenly start to make out. Apparently, even Kitty Galore's ardent professionalism was no match for Stephen Pearcy's sexual magnetism. Sexual intercourse is then alluded to before the video draws to its conclusion.
