Van Halen lyrics ?

[Mondy]

Hi everyone...

So how many of you all out there, ACTUALLY know your Van Halen lyrics ? [img]images/smilies/headscratch.gif[/img]

I thought I did, but I was singing along to some of the tunes on Fair Warning as it was blaring out of my car stereo, and caught myself mumbling one of the lines because I didn't know the lyric.

Then I thought to myself, "Shite-a-mundo ! This is my favourite band, and I don't know the words !"

I tried to take some consolation from the fact that David Lee Roth never knew the words either, and also I remember Eddie admitting on more than one occasion that he didn't know the words to the songs.

Anyhow, I went to The Official Van Halen Site , and took a look at some of the lyrics.

My hearing is very bad, so I cannot be held accountable if you split your sides laughing at some of the stuff I thought I was singing correctly.

Now, there are shit loads more that I have sung wrong on other albums, but that's for starters. Before I make an even bigger tit out of myself than I already have, would anyone else like to admit that they have been singing the lyrics incorrectly ?

well pretty much the whole of romeo delight (after reading the lyrics)

and in a simple rhyme the chours:

Ya think ya got the interest?
Come on an' take the time
'Cause you know, I wanna be
Yours in a simple rhyme

i thought it was like "you think you got me in chains " or something weird huh ! .. david lee roth can sure mumble a good lyric !

Yeah, too right ! At least I'm not the only dick who sings the lyrics wrong...

But to think that I scream these lyrics out at the top of my lungs during concerts !
