Is he saying "swapmeet salad" or "swamp meat salad"? What?

These lyrics are fuckin' terrible. For a big, dumb rock band, VH has some pretty decent lyrics, but not this.

I got Elvis on my elbow
and when I flex Elvis talks
I got hula girls on the back of my leg
and she hula's when I walk

Speak in cherry red
Screaming lectric green
Purple mountain's majesty really talk to me
Talk to me babe

Swapmeet Sally
Trampstamp Cat
Mousewife to Momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo
tattoo-tattoo

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me your dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So autobiographic!

Best believe that need will work you
Best deceive these true colours that follow one of your false virtues

Here's a secret to make you think
Why is the crazy stuff we never said poetry in ink
Speak in day-glow red
Explodo paint
Purple mountain's majesty tell me you, I'll show you me

Swap meet Sally
Trampstamp Cat
Mousewife to Momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo, tattoo-tattoo

Woo!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on meeeee!

(Dave scat solo)
overlapping into
(major old school guitar bad-assary)

Uncle Danny had a gold tattoo
He fought for the unions
(Some of us still do)
On my shoulder is a number of the Chapter he was in
That number is forever like the struggle here to win

Everybody!
Swap meet Sally
Trampstamp Cat
Mousewife to Momshell in the time it took to get that new tattoo, tattoo-tattoo
Tattoo
ta..too!

(Tattoo, tattoo)
Sexy dragon magic
(Tattoo, tattoo)
So very autobiographic!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You got a hold on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
You put a spell on me
(Tattoo, tattoo)
I'm in love with you
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Show me, show me your
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Look at me, look at you!
(Tattoo, tattoo)
Whoa!

"this" what? Those lyrics suck. They're no "it takes me almost halfway to the label" at least.

No, no they are not. "Mean Streets," "Take Your Whiskey Home," Jamie's Cryin'," "Little Guitars,"... Those songs have good lyrics. Fuck, even "Jump" has some pretty decent lyrics for being a big pop song. "Tattoo" has fucking stupid lyrics for any band.

Yeah that song is not very inspiring... I still want to go see this live though.

I think I'm getting in free, so I will definitely be pumped. "She's the Woman" was pretty awesome in that clip. Say what you want about Michael Anthony not being there, but Wolfgang can play bass. Anyway, I suspect four, maybe five, new song and then all of the classics, so it will be all good.

Previews of all of the songs. A lot are re-worked demos, which is totally fine to me. Some of these songs sound really good. God knows why "Tattoo" was the first single.

I'd rather stab myself in the ear with a screwdriver than hear "Tattoo" again. Although it is hard to entirely hate a song about sexy dragon magic.

Yeah, I am baffled as to why it is even on the album, let alone the lead single.

Brushback · « **Reply #64 on:** January 30, 2012, 07:59:21 PM »

You should see the comments on the "Van Halen News Desk" for this album, they're completely insane.

"New Van Halen = 30 million Albums sold, I predict"

"This new cd is Van Halen's "Sgt. Pepper"!!!"

"Have you heard the full tracks!? They are killer! Ed's tone is creamier than ever! And Dave's lyrics are full of attitude and cooler than anyone has ever put to their music. That's some badass shit right there and THATS how its done!"

"I don't know about everyone else... but, there is not a bad song on this album"

"People we are witness to the second coming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is history being written right before our hot steaming naked eyes!!!!

Enjoy this moment in time!!!

Never forget it!!

We we're all here at ground zero!!!!"

One guy even went on and on like he was some sort of technical expert, and then said something like, "I've given this a lot of consideration, and while at first I thought Wolfie could be no better than a replacement, now I think he's an IMPROVEMENT"

Hahaha too funny.

petsounds01 · « **Reply #66 on:** February 03, 2012, 06:43:39 PM »

Leaked. Not a bad album at all, sans "Tattoo." That song is kind of out of place.

My main complaint is too much wah. Why?

Ellie II · « **Reply #67 on:** February 03, 2012, 07:49:17 PM »

Saw the show in Nashville this past Friday night and it was well worth my dollars. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're a fan. Show went about two hours total which is just about right. The new tunes sounded great live, probably even better than on record (which I dig for the most part).

Nice. Eddie looks like he's playing really well.

After listening to this album for a few months, I really like it. So weird they picked the worst song as the single. "Beats Workin'" is so good.
