Origin and Success
The piece is the second song on the 1984 album and was recorded between April and May 1983 in Studio 5150 in Los Angeles . It was released as a single on January 5, 1984 and was number one in the US charts for five weeks. It also became a number one hit in Canada and Italy .
The song was played with an OBX-A synthesizer from Oberheim , which was also used in music videos and on tours. The electric guitar solo and the intro were played by Edward van Halen. The basic idea of this title has been around since the late 1970s / early 1980s. He just never made it to the previous albums because Edward van Halen couldn't convince the rest of the band or the producer. Singer David Lee Roth, who had long been against the use of synthesizers in Van Halen's music, had major reservations. When Edward van Halen gained greater influence on the production of the Van Halen songs by building his own studio in the back yard of his house in the Hollywood Hills , this title made it onto the LP.
The text is by David Lee Roth. The music video was also directed by Lee Roth. The video shows the band on stage. The clip was nominated for the MTV Music Awards.
