Van Halen - Dancing in the Street + lyrics

[bubb3432]

DLR is the world's head rabbi of rock!

[555Dragonite]

8 people need to dance somewhere else

[Bsideboy81]

8 people can't dance in the streets... :)

[cdawg1302]

i love this guitar...love this rock and roll!!!

[AltairZielite]

David Lee Roth = zero effects... pure vocals...

[supersabrejet]

The amount of instrumentation and talent on this song is Amazing.

[devistatedbeaver]

@supersabrejet Is that a joke?

[northspecter]

VAN HALEN has the best tunes ever!

[TheCrisan]

wonderful ! fantastic song ! That`s the energetic song .

[devistatedbeaver]

grateful dead do it best!!!

[BBQFanNo1]

@devistatedbeaver Van Halen do it best,son.

[devistatedbeaver]

@BBQFanNo1 Van Halen is awful. Hairbands are a horrible black stain on our music history. You don't need to be high to like the dead but you gotta be a drunken redneck to listen to this garbage. Go listen to some motley crue and warrant records and let me express my opinion. The dead are godly, Van Halen's tunes are lacking in creativity and beauty.

[ASepticTank]

@devistatedbeaver Van Halen was a fantastic band, until Sammy Hagar ruined them. i will agree that their music isn't as melodic as GD, pink Floyd, and other rock bands.

[devistatedbeaver]

@ASepticTank Van Halen is 80's bar-room garbage. Lyrics made so drunken idiots can sing along and guitar abuse.

[Archaeosix]

@devistatedbeaver "Bar-room garbage"? "Guitar abuse"? lol wtf? Did Eddie fuck your mother or something?

You know, it's ok if Van Halen is just not your thing, but the fact that you have to come on here and post this kind of trash just shows everyone on here what a pathetic loser "devistatedbeaver" really is.

[devistatedbeaver]

@Archaeosix I didn't post any trash to start with buddy. I simply stated i like the Dead's version better which i didn't think was a big deal. I may have said some unkind things which i regret however it was only in response to the comments i received for simply stating my opinion. Have a good day.

[Archaeosix]

@devistatedbeaver I'm having a great day, thanks! :-) Go Patriots!!

[Paez9669]

Poundcake, Runaround, Finish what ya started, Feels so good? Just to name a few awesome songs that came with Hagar at the lead mic. Wake up man.

[TheKuffarKid]

@devistatedbeaver You were gonna say something intelligent.......but then you got high.

[devistatedbeaver]

@TheKuffarKid Is that all you rednecks got?

[Paez9669]

Wow you are a nightmare.

[devistatedbeaver]

@Paez9669 Hey I didn't start it man. Everyone was just commenting on which version was their favorite so I did too. Then I was attacked for liking the Dead and I fought back.

[TheTigersfan20]

@devistatedbeaver I laugh at you, considering you're tone-deaf, you can't counter an argument, OR spell "devastated" correctly. All in all, I think you're full of shit.

[devistatedbeaver]

@TheTigersfan20 Tigers fan? Are you from Detroit? Am I honestly having MY intelligence insulted by someone from Detroit? Go listen to some Eninem you hood rat.

[TheTigersfan20]

@devistatedbeaver Don't you have you have anything better to do dipshit? Just look at all this hate mail you're getting, I think even your tiny little mind can understand that you are a fucking dead beat

[TheTigersfan20]

@devistatedbeaver Don't hate on me and where I'm from, cos it sure sounds a hell of a lot better than the redneck trailer trash you are.

This song is only for people who can appreciate good music, not for putting other people down because they like it. Now, please spot trolling, and fuck off.

[devistatedbeaver]

@BBQFanNo1 And I like how it took you three times to get what you wanted to say right and it still makes you sound like an idiot. FYI the stuff you said and deleted still shows up in my inbox.

[CRCoffical]

This version has a much more hard rock appeal to it. I like it a lot more than the Bowie and Jagger version :P

[radpcdrums]

Actually, Eddie's guitar solo on this might be one of the best ever in the history of rock music!!!

[devistatedbeaver]

@radpcdrums No. Not even close.

[karlakilkenny]

all we need is music

[3984ja]

i've bin a van-halen fan sins day one.

[reginaldblemphetti]

Kick ass! Blows away the original...hands down. Eddies guitar just smokes on this tune!

[kails88]

Love Van Halen, but prefer the Mamas and the Papas cover.

[nptjuggalo1]

hell nah i saw the video on family guy about it. i've had it stuck in my head all day. i look it up to be a dumbass and i see van halen. i say what the fuck. i click on it and Van Halen has blown my mind once again god damn. hell yea

[kndabetterthnawesome]

Oh my gosh this version sets the standard for this song!

[SiliconSynthony]

First time I heard this, I thought, "What the -- Van Halen doing techno???" Clever stack of guitar effects there. :D

[cgord37]

this is when van halen gave up the funk!

[Thrashfan21]

Diver Down while a good album seems a step backwards from Fair Warning.

[umumgot]

@Thrashfan21 i agree, too many covers

[accfandcp2]

:) :) :)

[HendrixVanHalen100]

more cowbell!

[astclair]

@HendrixVanHalen100

I got a fevah!!!

... and the only cure...

Is more cowbell!!!!!

[G7M3B2]

a versão original é melhor. Mas essa é boa pra caralho

[hummarstra]

One of Ed's best solos. Totally full of soul.

[1ambrose100]

Original far far far superior.

[lurycio]

@1ambrose100

True dat

[leodiaz1337]

@1ambrose100 yeah right.

[killtrositykill]

The beginning lick is why Eddie is the greatest of all time. Super innovative. I honestly didnt know it was a guitar the first time i heard it. Love this song!!!!!

[Rob42dXb]

@killtrositykill I thought it was some random eddie guitar sorcery too lol. its just eddie playing a synthesizer though.

[pulgabros]

@killtrositykill Just to give you a heads up, it isn't a guitar. Eddie is playing a keyboard through an effects pedal. He used the same set up before on the begining of "And The Cradle Will Rock"  This was verified on Curt Mitchell''s Van Halen guitar DVD's.

[SuaveTito]

This song sucks after 3:46

[AmericanAirlinesRule]

@SuaveTito I c what u did thar.

[Kellogs43able]

more cowbell !

[thesilentfoxx]

i love Bowie and Jagger seperate but man when they did this song it sucked

[wolfkarel]

Scream it Diamond Dave! Scream It!! :-)

[pituco65]

100 % better version of Bowie & Jagger because is more hard rock

[pookatim]

I like Martha & The Vandellas version better.

[mikecamnateher]

Van Halen must be whores, because they give everyone ear orgasms

[Mamasan41]

This is for Eddi in Gotzis!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Scoutman3100]

from 0:07 to 0:23, it's the best part. who agrees?

[SeanBallaWaller1]

@Scoutman3100 The best part is from 0:01 to 3:46 =]

[Aggedor1959]

Okay is that not one of the BEST opening riffs to a rock & roll song EVER in the entire history of EVER? I think so. :-)

The original has its place in history but this one's my favorite--hands down.

[Aggedor1959]

Okay is that not one of the BEST opening riffs to a rock & roll song EVER in the entire history of EVER? I think so.  :-)

[FantastiCATastrophy]

@Aggedor1959 nah id say it comes after welcome home by coheed and cambria and also Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult

[GNRACDCAIC]

BALTIMORE. D.C. NOW!

[wimpyliberalbuster32]

best version of this song, leagues ahead of Jagger/Bowie

[bajdawg9052]

Anyone else think the line "It doesn't matter what you wear just as long as you are there" is hilarious, especially considering some of DLR's "costumes" in the 80s?

[sporeman1331]

HOLLY CANOLLI THIS IS AMAZING

[elprimopr]

Grooveyyy!!!!! Makes me wanna dance!

[globemaster68]

dlr's best song, i know it was a cover, but he did one hell of job on it.

[paigeguitarplayer]

cool song

[YellowLambda]

Van Halen Couldnt create a bad song.

[ACERAMGAD]

Dancing and prancing and gettinagoodone!

[poopy1239]

best of both worlds?? what? i hope hannah montanna has nothing to do with this ;D

[v6b7n]

Guitar solo sounds Michael Schenkerish

[fearofskye]

so darn catchy

[DcCoO]

best of both words?

[Rubice]

@DcCoO It's both worLds, it reffers to Lee Roth and Sammy Haggar.

[dbookin]

Its better than the original and way better than the Bowie/Jagger version

[Yrma57]

@dbookin I agree.

[GNRSlashLover]

@dbookin Nope. The original is wayy better.

[beatles142]

this version is so much better than the original =]

[keniagonzalezmusik]

@beatles142 i'm ganna have to agree with u lolz
