Now, I'm a seaside sittin', just a smokin' and a drinkin';
I'm ringside, on top of the world.
I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand.
All I need is a beautiful girl.


Van Halen
from Van Halen II
1979

Facts about the best band ever?---------

The group wrote this in David Lee Roth's basement. They had just finished a tour and were under tight deadline pressure to record their second album. They released an album every year until 1984.

Roth fractured his foot doing a jump for the album's photo shoot. Since there was no way Roth could stay still on stage, they postponed their tour so he could heal.

The album took 6 days to record. Van Halen was quick in the studio because they laid down most of the tracks live, with very little overdubbing.

This was the second single from the album, after "Dance The Night Away." Their singles did not sell well, but their albums did. Many people bought the first Van Halen album after hearing this one.





You are welcome for that little treat. I ramble as much as possible on this website and I feel I have achieved it with great success today. On a personal note: I'm really busy lately and geting worse. I am looking for those not to frequent nights out, but seem to stay home more then I would like. ah well. TinyE will rise again, with the dawning of a new age!
