What would 'And the cradle will rock' would sound like if Van Hagar did it?

Who would ever want to know?!?

Blasphemy!!! You're going to hell for even THINKING about that!!!

[Rikk]

"Baby, and the cradle will rock...UH!!! WOOO!!!"

Yup.

[Dave IS VH]

If Sammy did "And the Cradle will rock", it would sound totally gay and Sammy would totally fuck it up, like he does with all classic VH songs.

oh I dunno......maaaybe sumpin' lakka dis...

And The Cradle Will Rock (As performed by Van Hagar)

Well, they say it's kinda frightnin' how the older generation stings us.
You know, it's more than just some new aggravation.
Well, RothArmy's into killin' sheep and they don't come to shows because we reek.
You know, it's more than just perspiration. Owww!

And Van Hagar will suck.
Yes, Van Hagar will suck.
And I’ll say, suck it!
That’s right, Mikey…..suck it!

And when some local town ain’t sellin’,
‘Cause our music is still smellin’.
They say, "You coulda least faked it, Roy." (Fake it, Roy)
In a heavy way we hit the streets and wind up tired in our feets,
Now we's unemployed.

And Van Hagar will suck.
Yes, Van Hagar will suck.
And I’ll say, suck it!
That’s right, Mikey…..suck it!

Have you heard Sammy sing?

Now we's unemployed, the Army’s overjoyed.

Want to envision that will piss you off beyond belief?

Okay, take "And the Cradle Will Rock."

Now get rid of the heavy Wurlitzer keyboards and put in the poppy cheese keyboard riffs from "Feels So Good."

Next, change the lyrics from being about a kid who knocks up his girlfriend while still in school, to that same kid dating, marrying, and THEN having the kid. Remember, this is Van Hagar and anything that's not about love, devotion, really bad sex innuendos, or aliens WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!

Finally, take away Mike's bass. Like all other 80's Van Hagar, having real bass on the song is a big no-no and so it'll need to be eliminated.

If you're not so pissed you want to wretch Sammy's neck by now then you're obviously at the wrong forum.

In deferance to the above posts, and the dead-on critical evaluation written there, I'd like to boldy step forward, using that insight and state that ...the tune would have ended up similiar (if not identical) to REO Speedwagons' "Keep On Loving You".

Christ, the thought makes one cringe.

Cool topic!
