Van Halen Lyrics

    ------ About the song Black and Blue performed by Van Halen

This get me in the mood for real,genuine sexy times! It makes me want to get it on WITH Donkey Kong! I had a stroke once while listening to this as I mercilessly befuddled a young lady's lower regions! UH! UH! TAKE IT! I_LIKE_SEX!



...also, am I the only person who wants Christopher Walken to do a dramatic reading of these lyrics like he did with Poker Face?

    ------ About the song Dreams performed by Van Halen

For me, this song has truly been my motivation to get through my grueling accelerated nursing program that I am currently enrolled in. I am doing a 4 year degree in 20 months, and its super intense, but when I need to be reminded of why I am doing this program I listen to this song. It gets me so pumped up!! There is nothing bad you can say about this song, I simply love it :)

    ------ About the song Jump performed by Van Halen

Van Halen has a new album out (A Different Kind of Truth) and they announced that they will be kicking off their 2012 tour. Yeah man! This band rocks!

The only problem I have with Van Halen, is this damn song. To me, the song Jump was the beginning of the end for the band. And I have a long history with this keyboard driven song. To read the full story and find out why, go to my blog: www.mentalswag.com

    ------ About the song When It's Love performed by Van Halen

I don't like many Van Halen songs, but I love this one. The music is great, and the lyrics wouldn't have been out of place in the 1940s. It's a timeless love song that happens to be rocked out as can be.

    ------ About the song Love Walks In performed by Van Halen

Who can say more about the story Sammy Hagar tells about how this song was inspired by an alien visitation?

With that in mind, it seems like two songs layered together, one about a close encounter and one more of a traditional love song...

    ------ About the song I'll Wait performed by Van Halen

Great song. I think it is the best tune on their "1984" album.
What I really love the most is Michael Anthony's heavy, creeping bass line.
As far as what it is about I always thought it was about Valerie Bertinelli. It would make sense as the album was released a couple years after her and Eddie got married. She is obvious a total babe too.

    ------ About the song Jump performed by Van Halen

Van Halen is incredible! This song is amazing, as well as many others by VH.
I always kind of knew about Van Halen, but I never really knew WHO they were or what songs they sang until I met my bf, and this was his favorite band. So i started listening to some of their music and i fell in love; with my NEW favorite band!!!
Van Halen has earned their right to be remembered forever! So i say expose all young people to VHs music again and it will hopefully overpower all of the rap crap that's out there!

    ------ About the song One I Want performed by Van Halen

everyone's looking for their foothold in their world, but not veryone's getting what they want in their life. dont pretend that you dont want your slice of heaven, but if you dont get it, life goes on, so live on.

    ------ About the song The Dream Is Over performed by Van Halen

So relevant, when they made this song is when China was just beginning to see our corporations move there for cheap labor. Now the song has been made a classic with how well it looked into the future.

    ------ About the song Hear About It Later performed by Van Halen

Back in the late 80's, one of my buds and I debated who was better: Van Halen or Van Hagar. Naturally I took Van Halen. You know, I was (and am still) a great fan of VH(halen) and for a while I waned a bit as my musical tastes changed and found new and more exciting artists, but as Cary above intimates, Ed was very creative and quite experimental in his approaches to rhythms and leads. Naturally being a true musician (as I understand, Ed and Alex were classically trained to a degree), Ed does craft some quite tasty tunes which is one of the reasons I've stuck with them over the years. Their later work is paler in comparison to the first 6 albums (DLR being lead on these) in my opinion. I think the tension between [DLR and EVH]was more positive than negative, tho the effect was what it was. Dave was the Yin to Ed's Yang.

Sadly enough, Michael wasn't showcased [on earlier albums] as much as he should have been. Granted, it was Han Halen, no VH and Co. but reading an article in Guitar Player recently, Sammy and Joe [Chickenfoot] think Michael is the shiznit. My impression is that they could see his understatement in VH and now he has his oppty to shine. But that's fodder for later argument.

So VH or VH? That is the question. You know, I wish Ed would have put out a solo, even instrumental work that would include some collab. Now _that_ would be one super album.
