In some parts he sounds like that weird guy from Police Academy.

Is he whistling in that one part? What is that?

The end was funny too, thanks for posting this. :D
 
In the 70's and 80's, you would stick him in front of an audience and collect the money. Now, you would snatch his wig and beat him with it.


It is amazing how the vocal line works all by itself (in the verse) without the music.
 
I don't listen to van halen. Is this from a multitrack of the song?
 
I thought it was funny, am I the only one?

You can tell he can sing though.

It's David Lee Roth.

I' never liked him alot. But he's got a very thick, recordeable voice, and alot of character. Hearing it soloed like this impresses me even more.

I don't like that guy at all. I think he made a lot of, what would be good songs, bad.

I won't argue that he can sing though and that this sounds very good especially without any backing music.

But I still think there are a lot of funny parts... :D
 
I heard the backing track and just thought it must be some guy listening and singing with headphones, practicing his karaoke. that whistle thing sounds like a toy that had when i was a kid, it was a ring with slots in it and a little spinning fan inside
 
Folks, I don't know the provenance exactly, someone posted it to an old school email list that I've been on since '01.

I am sure that it's from the original album cut and mix, and not from the master or anything. You can hear that it's been carefully gated and so on. And that youtube video clearly has the spinner whistle after the guitar solo.

For me, this was at first a little pathetic, but it grew on me really quickly. I think the performance fits the times and the tune. I'm really impressed by how much is really going on in the delivery. But even though I'm grew to like it, it's still funny as hell! :cool:
