It’s not every day that a legendary rocker comes clean about a decades-long blunder—but that’s exactly what Sebastian Bach did this week. The former Skid Row frontman took to social media with a jaw-dropping confession: for 40 years, he’s been singing the wrong lyrics to one of glam metal’s biggest anthems, Ratt’s “Round and Round.”
The twist? He didn’t realize his mistake until now.
An Honest Mistake Goes Viral
It all started when Ratt’s own Stephen Pearcy posted a nostalgic message about the band’s iconic album Out of the Cellar, sharing the correct lyrics to “Round and Round”:
“Another day, some other way, we’re gonna go, but then we’ll see you again.”
Pearcy sounded genuinely touched by how much the song still means to him (and to fans), saying,
“I never get tired of seeing this album, and I appreciate signing the (Out of the Cellar) record over 41 years later. I’m enjoying playing these songs even more today.”
When Sebastian Bach saw those lyrics, he was floored:
“Ok, great. I have been singing the WRONG WORDS for 40 years then!! I thought it was ‘and never see you again.’ Anyone else think that?”
Turns out, he wasn’t alone, as fans quickly chimed in to admit they’d made the same mistake for years.
Why Everyone’s Talking About This
There’s something comforting about knowing even rock stars are human. Bach’s lyrical mix-up turned a hopeful “we’ll see you again” into a stark “never see you again.” One small change, but it makes you hear the song in a whole new light.
This little moment lit up social media—not just because of Bach’s honesty, but also because it’s so relatable. Who hasn’t belted out a favorite tune only to find out they’ve been getting the words wrong all along? If Sebastian Bach can do it, anyone can!
The Enduring Power of “Round and Round”
“Round and Round” isn’t just a song; it’s a piece of rock history. It’s the kind of track that gets passed down from generation to generation, keeping the spirit of 80s glam metal alive. After more than 40 years, fans (and even fellow musicians) are still misquoting its lyrics, proving just how deeply it’s ingrained in the rock and roll DNA.
At the end of the day, this quirky revelation just adds one more chapter to the legend of “Round and Round”—a song that keeps bringing people together, mistakes and all.
So, the next time you catch yourself messing up the lyrics to a classic, just remember: you’re in some pretty good company. Rock on!
