The revelation came as Ratt frontman Stephen Pearcy dropped the correct lyrics to their hit song ‘Round and Round’ on his social media account. Pearcy reflected on the enduring appeal of the track and the band’s classic album.
‘Another day, some other way, we’re gonna go, but then we’ll see you again,’ Pearcy wrote.
‘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.’
Bach responded with surprise upon seeing the actual lyrics. He admitted his long-standing mistake.
‘Ok, great. I have been singing the WRONG WORDS for 40 years then!!’ Bach commented. ‘I thought it was ‘and never see you again.’ Anyone else think that?’
The exchange illustrates how even professional musicians can mishear lyrics to classic rock songs. Bach’s version altered the meaning from a hopeful “we’ll see you again” to a more final “never see you again.”
This lyrical misunderstanding highlights the enduring impact of “Round and Round,” which remains one of the most recognizable songs from the glam metal era of the 1980s. The track’s continued relevance underscores its significant place in rock history and the lasting impression it has made on both fans and fellow musicians.
