Ratt is a glam metal band popular in the eighties. The Brothers Chaps are aware of their music, and have referenced it multiple times in the Homestar Runner body of work, especially their hit song "Round and Round".
Instances
- Thy Dungeonman II — While standing in the room with Percy the rat, the player can type "Listen to Ratt". The game responds with "Ye hums some late-era Ratt to thyself. 'Waycool Jr.' is not as good a tune as thou rememberest."
- Puppet Jam: Everybody Knows It — When John Flansburgh says "round and round", Homestar Runner starts to sing "Round and Round".
- @StrongBadActual tweet (10 Apr 2020) — Strong Bad quotes lyrics from "Round and Round".
- Disk 4 of 12 - Vampire's Castle — Strong Bad interprets the word "rat" in the torture chamber as referring to the band, and attempts to get singer Stephen Pearcy's autograph and to sing "Round and Round". At the end, he has a wine tasting with the group in a Powered by The Cheat illustration.
- @StrongBadActual tweet (1 Oct 2022) — Strong Bad inputs the room descriptions for Vampire's Castle into an AI image generator, posting the results for "You are in the Torture Chamber. You see Ratt. Obvious exits are East and West."
