  • great album,roth,the van halenz and the bass is killer, they all have an intimate relationship wth their insrumentz.

  • I will never ever forget when I heard this album. Smack dab in the middle of an era of bad rock. Then these guys came along and changed rock music!! I like a lot of music from R&B to Speed metal, just as long as the music has "artistic soul" Roth-Era Van Halen is Raw emotional youthful energy, They definiely captured summer of 1978 for me

  • I <3 this song, I thank my parent's for blasting this when i was a baby until a teenager :) Love Van Halen!!!!!!!!!

  • Still love this

  • roth was great back then.

  • This is definitely VH best album .

  • Dwayne R Johnson says the concert we all been waiting is already on its way to ur home town an will it will be the best concert of the decade

  • The guitars....fuck.... So genius! Only a fool would dislike this.

  • I've heard this album so many times, at the end of this song I automatically start singing Ice Cream Man in my head.

  • this reminds me of my ex =(

  • One of the best songs ever from VH......SOOOOOO GOOOOOD....LITTLE DREAMER!!!!

  • This album killed punk the day it was released.

  • @StoneyMcJuicyBuds And Disco.

  • shit is bad.

    

  • By the way my kid's love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I agree the real Van Halen is DLR on vocals... But don't forget they had huge success with Sammy also... I still bought their stuff 5150, ou812, etc... Was it as good as VH 1 OR VH 2, Fair warning etc...? No it wasnt but it was still solid... Who knows what would have happened if DLR would have stayed on through all those Sammy years.. I dont waste time on that... It is what it is... I am just happy DLR is back now with a new Album coming out and tour...

  • @TheJasonCombee76 --- Do yourself a HUGE favor.....take your Van Hagar CDs out to your driveway and pour lighter fluid on them.....then light a match.....watch 'em burn.....that's what I did about 10 years ago.....best thing you will ever do!

  • @Hunkola Hold on a second here. There was actually a time where you, Hunkola, listened to Van Hagar? That's definitely going to the books!

  • @StuffedGames --- Hee hee....I think any true VH fan needs to listen to the entire Van Hagar catalog to fully understand what boring, pedestrian music sounds like....otherwise, you will never fully appreciate how good the Roth-era was and still is

  • Van Halen 2012 Crap that just gave me a Red Rocket

  • This is one of mine, my dad's, and my sister's favorite song. Period. XD

  • send this in a candy gram

  • 4 people really dreaming

  • Beautiful!!!

  • Van Halen I is the best. Would not get a greatest hits unless the compilation included each and every song from Van Halen I and II.

  • so sexy

  • This album will live on as one of the greatest rock albums of all time.

  • David you are in my dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • one of, if not the best rock albums ever...ever.

  • There shouldn`t be a dislike choice on any of the tunes on Van Halens first album. The whole first album is rock and roll perfection that just gets better with age. Van Halen with Ted Templeman producing was pure magic.

  • @DoubleVisionandco Great minds think alike. They nailed it on that album. The only greatest hits record they need is the first one.

  • Light Up!

  • Van Halen a été très bon.

  • Just fun times...nothing more or less.

  • 3 people can shove it up their lame asses.

  • stupid guy it couldve been different!!!!!

  • lol, this was my Dad's first album he bought. It was the first cd I bought. Great stuff lasts forever...

  • Gran Tourisimo Ochocinco

  • GTO'S R UZ BABY!!!

  • i go to sleep hearing this riff i love it

    

  • Dave and Eddie sounded so good together. It's a damn shame they couldn't keep it together. We lost 20 years of "What if?"

  • @atomicpunk48 wrong, eddie was done after the diver down album, but all greats come down to earth some time

  • @huntersingle You may be right. But, didn't you like the smokin baby album? Kid must have emphysema by now. But seriously, their first two or three albums were as good as it gets. Remember, those were different times.

  • @atomicpunk48 Seriously. With Roth they were the greatest ever!

  • @tuvan06 Thanks. I always thought they had a harder edge to them in those first few years, more of a hard rock band. With Sammy, they got a little too commercial for me. Saw the reunion tour a few years ago with Dave, and it was well worth it, even though they're a little older now. Can't wait for this new album they're working on. Hope I don't have to wait another 20 years.

  • @atomicpunk48 ..Yeah I know what you mean...but those first years/albums of... 'This is it..!?!?!?...... are worth a lifetime of ...'What ifs..??...(AND ...we were there!?!?)

  • this song is amazing

  • Wasn't that an album in da day?

  • This song brings back memories of "those crazy days gone by" maybe more than any other song.Best VH song imo

  • Jon is that what I think it is? Funny I didn't see it til now. I forgot some of what I saw Ben writing and drawing. I remember his beautiful pictures of wild cats. I wished I could draw that good at the time. Don't suppose Lucky Eddie and Alex mentioned Mastodon between doing Mammoth. Sammy was a great bass player. Glad your far away from my sister. Sara was a little doll wasn't she? I hope she's doing well along with Danielle. Say hi to Jen for me.

  • van halen = best rock band to come out of north america

  • This riff is just awesome and the Ed's sound gives me goose bumps.

  • the construity of the hemmorage in your cerebral cortex should be affirmation that this song ROCKS!...class dismissed

  • great guitar riff, those backup vocals are right on the money and the melody is catchy as balls. overall A pus song VAN HALEN 4 life holmes!!!!!

  • Aaaaaah takes me back to the late 70's!, TOTALLY AWESOME ALBUM!!!!!

  • This album is AMAZING.

  • I just listened to the almost half of this album, and this is the first song that I find to be something worth listening to. Oh, and if you're wondering I listened to Feel Your Love Tonight, Runnin With the Devil. Ain't Talkin About Love, and On Fire.

  • @ghost20063 if it took you 5 songs to finally enjoy a song off of this cd/album, may i suggest you go to the row that has " Wham" in it, you obviously do not have an inkling on what the term Rock N Roll guitar is.

  • @ghost20063 you should listen to it again then until you start finding it interesting

  • years before there time. Van Halen is still years ahead even to this fuckin day.

  • INF******CREDIBLE! ;o)

  • Beautiful Song .. Ich will ein bier.. .. Una Corona bien muerta... Haa...

  • little dreamer - imagine your mind being recorded when you truncated the universe...

  • Every time I listen to this song, it's probabily the best 3 minutes and half of my life

  • i like this song very much ! thanxs eddie !

  • i know has anybody seen how gay mtv has become, i mean what the hell,you think it would fucking kill them to play what people really want to hear, i mean who gives a shit about some punk ass little brats reality show anyway. most of those little fuckers dont know what reality is. play the videos rock and roll. fucking station has no game anymore.

  • @dogdogdogdogdog889 It's all about advertising. People stick to the channel if it's one hour reality shows versus music videos.

  • @dogdogdogdogdog889 ---well said, bro. The lament of millions of pissed off music lovers everywhere!!!

    Fuck NTV!!!

  • Awesome. VH is where it started. Glad to here about their new world tour and album. These legends have rocked long and hard. Dont forget it kiddies!!!!

  • OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooo Little dreeeeeammmmmmmer!

  • fuckin classic Van Halen here :) What ever happen to rock music?

  • @Skaternick911 Us little bands keep trying, but all the industry wants is Bieber bullshit. Sucks to live in this time haha

  • let us all thank VanHalen765 for this Awesome post..!!

  • 3 dislikes are Sammy Hagar and his parents.

  • My girlfriend strips for me with this riff

  • @camtheman23able me too

  • @camtheman23able you should upload that!

    : )

  • @camtheman23able Thanks to your comment, I can now only picture a stripper during this song. Mind you, that can get annoying after a while...

  • This became my fist favorite VH song back when I was a kid. Probably bought the first 6 albums at least 3 times each. Eddie gets one of his best tones on little dreamer, his best riffs, and this is Diamond Dave at his finest hour!

  • DLR is holding his weiner in this pic.

  • one of my favs! this whole album fucking rocks the house to its knees!!

  • 2 people are clueless.

  • briliant guitar sound!

  • some of thebest stuff, ever  ONE OF THE BEST BANDS , BEST LINUPS, EVER! f YEAH!!!....la/ hOLLYWOOD

  • 1 person dream didn't come true

  • 1 dislike is a big nightmare.

  • Great song.

  • one of my all time fave VH songs

  • Like a 68 Camaro...they just don't make 'em like this anymore. The world would be a better place if they did.

  • why do i have the urge to get a bunch of one dollar bills?

  • I'm 37 now,been a big fan of this album since age 10.Still brand new,it never grows a bit old.

  • @jlr41877 ---- "But you were young and bold and baby didn't that change with a wink of your eye"........always loved that line

  • why doesn't youtube has a loop for that so it never ends?

  • @Pussynator123 just type repeat before the dot in .com

  • @Pussynator123 yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah!

    

  • @Pussynator123 accually it does.

  • @Pussynator123 they do its called cocaine

  • @Pussynator123

    1. look up at the url bar

    2. put ur cursor in between the "youtube" and the ".com"

    3. type in "repeat"

    4. ??????

    5. so many eargasms the human mind cant handle it and you explode and go to Valhalla to live an eternity with the rock gods.

  • @Pussynator123 Put repeat on front of "youtube" in the link of the video like w w w . youtuberepeat. com /your video and it'll work just fine.

  • @Pussynator123

  • Remember jammin to thiis...in 78...drinking a Stroh's beer on my GTO....thought the world was all rock and roll....it was!

  • @usmc18111 ---- Cold beer......a fast GTO......and old school Halen cranked on the stereo......life dont get no better than that, brah

  • @usmc18111 Man did you just cause a flashback! Cept' mine was a Mercury Comet with a 302 Boss. The world WAS rock and roll with Van Halen screaming from the sub woofers. oh... and Budweiser. Great times!

  • @drubedo nobody had subwoofers in 78.lol. 6x9s or maybe some house speakers were where it was at

  • @usmc18111 I was havin a sweet hot brunette tryin to drive my 67 SS Camaro, in 78. 4 on the floor. Every Start was either a kill or 20 feet of rubber, Lots of rockin and rollin going back then.

  • @usmc18111 ---- Sippin' a cold Stroh's on the hood of your GTO in '78 while Roth Van Halen cranks on the stereo on a warm summer night ---- I'm not sure life gets any better than that

  • @usmc18111 where the hell did 33 years go?

  • Very very wonderfull

  • Want this played at my funeral... And I was born in '98

  • @DISNEYfan4Ever112 You're only jealous, cause you're a no talent douche!

  • @DISNEYfan4Ever112 go listen biebershit

  • @DISNEYfan4Ever112 lol why are you here

  • @DISNEYfan4Ever112 Is that the proper language for a Disney fan to be using?

  • they opened for black sabbath in 78 in cincinnati and blew black sabbath away. they played the album from start to finish for their set. eddie was phenomenal.

  • Sexiest. Riff. Ever.

  • David Lee Roth is one of the few white frontmen who could pull off singing like a black dude and make it sound as natural as possible. The little bit before the bridge on this one is priceless. And Van Halen was at its best when he was still in the group. DLR forever!

  • @Teetee33 DLR definitely has soul...That's what makes CVH so universally loved across the planet. Dave to the Grave, man!!

  • put the headphones on and listen to the solo on icecream man...gives me chills!

  • please not the 0 dislikes...

  • Such a mean guitar..these guys were the total package..and it still kicks ass!

  • ...And regardless what Steve Vai may say, Eddie Van has the two-finger arpeggio down cold. Rock on

  • This is the per-eminent VH album...totally rips you undies off.

  • This song does not get the respect it deserves

  • ASS,kicking song hey this guys good hu 9 th sonfromthealbum,,dah

  • I was 12 when this came out. My friends and I would blaze weed and drink beer all summer long to this. F n A, VH rules!!!

  • @tarbalvis when you were 12?

  • Hard to believe this was late 70's. Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac, Ace, Player, Little River Band are all good, then this came out, mind bending riffs, that will blow your socks off. Gimme more VH!

  • POSSIBLY THE BEST VH SONG

  • E D D I E V A N H A L E N

  • The fact that the riff starts right on the first beat, in stead of half a beat later which feels more natural, just makes it a million times better than it allready is.

  • this 78 tour ,opened 4 sabbath,journey . 79 tour headlined ,80tour/women and children,3rd time out of the box./headliners ,numero dos..

  • Probably the most under rated song on the first album, yet it's one of my all time CVH songs of all time... But you were young and bold and baby didn't that change with a wink of your eye!!!

  • Saw them right out of the Box 1980 SOLD OUT---Blew the Lid off of the Place !

    BEST CONCERT I EVER SAW  !!

  • @charger2538 Eddie Van Halen was the best guitarist in the world at that point. Shame what drugs have done to him.

  • @raremountainbear not drugs booze

  • @GamerzUndead He was addicted to methamphetamine. That's what really jacked him up. 

  • @raremountainbear Really??I never fucking new that, now that's the worst drug out there.

  • @raremountainbear found out he also did coke, Drugs suck man they ruin talent

  • NO ONE'S TALKIN' 'BOUT THOSE --- CRAZY DAYS GONE PAST

  • two words. wet panties.

  • tra le migliori composte da questo grande gruppo il più grande in ordine cronologico dopo i led zeppelin-ma che brano

  • 142 people are little dreamers

  • @Jmx95 Stop being predictable

  • The background harmonies set it off...Great song!!!!!!!!!

  • Just heard this song on XM. Totally forgot how cool it was.

  • gawd I love this song. 

  • SAW THEM ON THIS TOUR IN LAKELAND CIVIC CENTER, FL. STILL REMEMBER IT TO THIS DAY. THE BEST ALBUM THEY RECORDED.

  • music doesn't get much better than this. this song is 11/10 same with this whole album.

  • GOOD JOB  GOOD TIMES!!!!!!!

  • No one talks about those.....times you cried.....little dreamer

  • My favorite 80s's band. Bravooooo.

  • Best album...ever

  • @fizzazzle hells yes

  • Now no one's talking about those......crazy days gone by

  • Such dam AWSOME OF A SONG!!!!!!!

  • @spongemann89.....god ya I listented to it like in 91 in Los angels it was epic

  • ed, lol, al and mike. dave and mike.  little van halen.

  • Be careful for a Disneylover140, ok?

  • @SuiSan504 Why?

  • @TheEJDavies He trolls on metal videos and Van Halen videos, saying that they're shit and that the Disney people are better. Flag his comments if they appear, or not.

  • @SuiSan504 HIM! The 23 year old jack**s.

  • @TheEJDavies I said 'he' and 'his' right?

  • @SuiSan504 If it were a little girl, fine, but a 23 year old man? Paedophile ALERT!

  • @TheEJDavies 'Kay

  • @TheEJDavies dude, he could be talking about a niece or daughter, even though he most likely didnt have any at the time. maybe he's talking about a girlfriend whom he just re
