    Van Halen lyrics on cheese packaging!!!

    Found this accidentally...

    Van Halen Lyrics on Cheese Packaging | Serious Eats



    If Van Halen wasn't talkin' 'bout love in their 1978 hit song, maybe they had cheese on the brain? On this plastic container of cheese chunks found by our friend Homesick Texan at a New York market, the band's famous lyrics appear above the barcode. "I've been to the edge, and there I stood and looked down / lost a lot of friends there, baby, I got no time to mess around."

    Clearly, the lyrics refer to the edge of the grocery aisle, where they lost their pals after buying feta. The song was known for being very raw; much like this "assorted" pack of uncooked cheese.
    one of the comments:

    love the sense of humor, hate that a grocer would have the nerve to charge 7.99/lb for assorted cheese ends. also -- i think hagar-era van halen would have been a better fit for this particular product.

          Very nice. One of my favorite Van Halen lyrics too. I remember on the EEAS tour, for this song only, Dave was in a very small boxing ring type thing out near the sound board in the middle of the crowd. Really brought him close to all of us in the back lodge & terrace. Awesome idea. I just remember him singing these lyrics really slow & leaning over the crowd. Always a pleaser.
          “Great losses often bring only a numb shock. To truly plunge a victim into misery, you must overwhelm him with many small sufferings.”

                      Exactly. It should have been "How Do I Know When It's Cheese? (I can't tell you but it smells like Cheddar)"

                          Yeh, please. It should have been Hagar cheese. There's nothing cheesy about those lines from ATBL. That's pure poetry, baby.
