Ratt's "Way Cool Jr." comes off Reach for the Sky, their 1988 album, and it's glam metal with a curveball in the credits: drummer Bobby Blotzer plays harmonica on it, on top of his drums and percussion. Stephen Pearcy sings lead, with Robbin Crosby, Juan Croucier and Warren DeMartini on backing vocals; Crosby and DeMartini handle the electric guitars and Croucier the bass.
DeMartini and Pearcy wrote it with Beau Hill, who produced it with Mike Stone and mixed it with Stephen Benben. Al Wright and Benben engineered, with Tom Banghart, Marty Hornburg and Jim Mitchell assisting, and Atlantic put it out.
