Does Happy Trails indeed "Suck"

[hideyoursheep]

That's just it though, you know you're gonna hear that song on every tour until they croak because it went No. 1.....

Your true Van Halen fan doesn't care if that song is ever played again.

The come-latelys that unconditionally accepted SPAM are the one's keeping it alive. The other top 40 friendly Sam Halen songs have already fallen by the wayside...no real "classics" to speak of. Just like Sammy's solo career. None.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Well, we're gonna have a new album that will need airplay on the next tour, so that's going to remove about 4 songs or so from the setlist...

I'd be great if Jump was one of those, but I doubt it...

If it were me, and I had to keep Jump, I'd yank Little Dreamer, Jamie's Cryin', Dance the Night Away... And Al's solo, while you're at it...

[Terry]

Happy Trails is great in the middle of the final encore, like they used to do....

A VH song I wouldn't mind never hearing again ??

Jump...

That tune was overplayed into the fucking ground when it was first released...I personally wouldn't mind if I never hear that tune played live again, but any Roth solo gig or Van Halen show with Roth at the helm you go to see it's pretty much a given it'll be played.

[Panamark]

Jump is like one of those Madonna MTV songs....
You fucking got sick of it quickly at the time, but now it takes
you back ???

Is it just me or did the pointer sisters rip off Van Halen
with their "Jump" ??? (Please endure the whole tune or you
wont get it)




Bitches !!!! Which one came first ?? Halen or Pointer ??

[flappo]

apart from secrets best track on dd

the cover songs remind of van hagar at it's worst and are fucking embarrassing

i always find it UTTERLY fucking crazy how this album came out between two fucking masterpieces like FW and 1984

either one eats this one fer breakfast , chews it up and shits it down the crapper

[alexpgrimes]

Would you die if you never heard it again ???

no but I'm sure that Roy Rogers family might get alittle pissed..

Secrets definately Edwardo ! Dave at his poetic best and Eddie
too ! Nice choice. Best song on Diver Down for this little vegemite too...

The rest ?

Full Bug was cool too, and Little Guitars...
Hang em High ? Rest was filler....

Sorry to Roy Rogers and his family....
I loved the novelty of the track the first few thousand times..
But its over... I can no longer dig it.
In fact it makes me sick.... Its like a parody of how unhappy the
trails have been since then for CVH !!!

[Panamark]

And while Im fired up !

Dancin in the streets !!!!

More famous for the fag prance that Jagger and Bowie did
after both admitting they "Fuct"

Didnt like the song anyway, but bowie and jagger kicked
it into final oblivion... Sick.. I wonder who was the chick in that
little adventure ?????????

[ZahZoo]

Dude.......... You really love this song ???

Maybe you should checkout some of the old barber shop
quartets that inspired it ????

If that doesnt work, can we marinade you on a spit with some good BBQ sauce ?
Sounds like you might get a little fried with that lightning thing....

Glad you brought up the historical reference to the roots of this song...

What most of you young punks don't know was the cultural significance of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans to growing up as kid during the time the boys in VH were youngsters. Luckily you have an old fart like me with a few functional brain cells left that can recall the good ole days...

Given VH's southern Cal image this seems a little off base... but, Roy Rogers was big back then... bigger than Sponge-Bob. The whole nation tuned into his show and his movies were huge too. The whole cowboy, wild west thing was a total culture thing for young kids in the 50's/early 60's.
Dale was looker too!!



Lyrics to "Happy Trails" by Dale Evans Rogers
Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.
Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.

Some trails are happy ones,
Others are blue.
It's the way you ride the trail that counts,
Here's a happy one for you.

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.
Happy trails to you, keep smilin' until then.
Who cares about the clouds when we're together?
Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Happy trails to you, 'till we meet again.



Alternate Religious Verse:

Happy trails to you, it's great to say "hello".
And to share with you the trail we've come to know.
It started on the day that we met Jesus,
He came into our hearts and then he freed us.
For a life that's true, a happy trail to you.
