    Misheard lyric in Beautiful Girls

    I searched for the Etch A Sketch thread for no luck. Merge this if you find it.

    I think Dave was ahead of the wave in '78-'79. In the repeating chorus at the end of Beautiful girls Dave pleads to the tech savvy vixen, "Set your cell phone down." A trek to the wilderness perhaps?

    Thoughts?

    Here is one I really don't know and I always just mumble through it for the last 28 years. What the hell is the chorus on Sinners Swing?? Oh yeah, I guess I could just google the lyrics for that.

    My Big Qusetion is This....why in the video of Jump does Dave do a, excuse me, Whooo ohh after Ed's solo....but on the disc it's not there. What came first The vid or the cd? Anyone know what I am talking about? This is bigger than the chicken and the egg in my opinion.

    Hey psycho, please get out of my Van Halen T-shirt before you jinx the band and they break up.

    Hmmmm, let's see..........."Beautiful Girls" recorded in 1979..........the first cellular network was established in America in 1983.........I'm thinking the answer is "FUCK NO" but let me think about it, have another drink and get back to you.

    I love the song That's When Push Comes To Shove....I think that's the title, anyway I've always loved the way he was talking to me in the beginning of that song, you know when he's says..."Is there anything to do toinght?" "Anything left in that bottle?" He sounded so sexy...just the way he looked! Not that it's all past tense or anything......

    It's like that line in Steve Miller's "Take The Money And Run", where the detective "knows just exactly what the FAX is." The FAX machine was largely unknown until the early 1980s, but Miller managed to predict it's widespread popularity way back in 1976.

    Amazing. Just imagine what he could do with that forsight if he needed the money, but he doesn't since his greatest hits album sells over 100,000 copies every year.
