  • A Dubb from Kc MoFirst song to ever mention cell phone. I was about 13 when I first heard this song and I asked what a cell phone was because the lyrics says "sit your cell phone down" and all i got was laughed at. This was before the internet so take it easy on me.
  • Gerald Logue from CaliforniaIs it just me, or does the voiceover at the end of the song sound a lot like Gene Simnmons?
  • Brandon Crapo from Mt Pleasant MichiganVan Halen showed ultimate ambition in recording their sophomore album. What a great effort and a great song. Classic DLR lyrics here
  • Robert from Cleveland, OhIt's amazing how much a song can improve from a demo to the finished product. This song started out titled "Bring On the Girls" recorded on a Gene Simmons funded demo in 1976 but it's not that good. However, this tune is so playful and tongue-in-cheek and has that signature VH humor!
  • John from Wyandotte, MiShmitts Gay....what a memory you guys have. Lmao!
  • Jim from Indio, Ca"a snappy little mammy, gonna keep her pappy happy" BEST. LYRIC. EVER!
  • Chris Labenne from Niles, OhThis is my favorite Van Halen song. Any hard rock band that can play a triplet-feel guitar riff, piccolo bass fills, and absolutely flawless 3-part vocal harmonies is perfect for me. Van Halen is Gawd.
  • Jeff from Austin, Txshmitts gay rules
  • Jim from Anycity, FlOne of their most Vocally Harmonic songs.
  • Robb from Hamburg, NyYeah, except for he (Anthony) sings the backing vocals in all the songs, which in my opinion are the key ingredient to Van Halen
  • Kent Lyle from Palo Alto, CaMichael Anthony's bass fills before each verse probably served as his most direct contribution to a Van Halen song, unless I am missing something.
  • Rob from Santa Monica, CaUsed in a Saturday Night Live skit as the music for a parody ad for "Schmidt's Gay Beer".
  • Greg from Manchester, TnOriginally "Bring on the Girls" in early demos.
