"Tattoo" lyrics

[Panamark]

Isnt it just simply a celebration of Tattos in general with a few choice
scenarios from Dave ?

With some added subtle tongue in cheek for those that think a "Tattoo" will
change everything.

Great subject matter, debateable on many levels.

Yes, but we have to fill the thread with SOMETHING, don't we?

As usual, ARMY fans have misinterpreted what they have seen and heard. The title is in reality "Achoo!', based upon the following evidence.

Actually, the song is a Dave's hats-off to the manager of the Kwik-E-Mart, "Apu".

This is one of the best Van Halen songs ever written!

True Dat !

[ashstralia]

it's just a fucking good rock song. the other things it has going for it are;

1) the lyrics were written and performed by the greatest frontman in rock history
2) the backing band is called =VAN HALEN=

It's already slipping down the charts, do you think the album will peak then slip as quickly? Or will the release of the album reignite interest in the single? It's already not all over the radio like it was a week ago!WTF?

Our age group aren't much for calling in radio listener request ...get off yourself bleater.. we already know you aren't an idiot..jeez..

I am amazed just like you, that corporate radio even played it once. 85% of the music on the radio these days is made in the box and you know it.

These hot super cool stations that keep playing that bad company ,bad company, trac cover by five finger death punch ( not a bad band) over and over again and the only thing they changed, it is a note for note copy, was instead of , six gun sound , they sing, shot gun sound. Fucking junk.. I mean fuck they won't play the original Bad Co, and they say this , Tattoo tune is to poppy, wtf?

Come at us like we know your not a idiot and you may look less like one.

Seriously who cares ? The money is in the shows, not the album sales. Its not the 80's anymore.
All that matters is we will have a new Van Halen album and the tour will do well, so we win and
they win. Its all good.

Hated it first time through..grows on ya tho..only real complaint( its NEW..DONT BITCH)....need more Wolf and less synth fill..

Perhaps a bit more of Wolf in the mix would've been good...from what I've heard, the synth backing wasn't really all that much up front...'course I've only heard it at youtube. The real deal will be getting the cd and cranking the fucker in the car; THEN we'll see what it be.

[Sensible Shoes]

I think that's why we didn't hear Tattoo at the Cafe Wha - they couldn't have done the synth.

Better to slip in the charts than to have never made the charts like some frizzy haired shit talking fat fuck I know of.

oops, sorry Panamark. grabbed the wrong quote. But you know that.
