"Slip of the Lip" comes off Dancing Undercover, Ratt's third studio album, a 1986 release from the American glam metal band, and it got a music video of its own, one of three the record spawned along with "Dance" and "Body Talk". Stephen Pearcy wrote it with bassist Juan Croucier and guitarist Warren DeMartini, and Pearcy sings lead.
It's the full Ratt twin-guitar attack: DeMartini and Robbin Crosby on electric guitars, Croucier on bass and Bobby Blotzer on drums and percussion, with Crosby, Croucier and DeMartini ganging up on the backing vocals. Beau Hill produced it and engineered alongside Jim Faraci and Michael O'Reilly, with Jimmy Hoyson assisting, and the sleaze comes out polished to a high gloss.
