The Official Van Halen, "Bullethead" review thread

[fryingdutchman]

This misheard lyric from ADKOT might even be funnier than the dude who thought "Casablanca gin joint" was "Casablanca ding doink" in "She's The Woman."

[Zing!]

I've got a perpetual mis-heard lyric in the first line of Stay Frosty. I can't sing along to it even with the booklet of Dave's lyrics in front of me. A real tongue twister about arms being too short to box - trouble is, it doesn't sound like English to me, so I never know WHAT he's saying. As for Bullethead, damn is that tune ever fun to sing along to - although I have to give one of my patented Dave screams over the '...piss me off' part so the kids don't hear it. Sure, I could probably turn down the volume, but it's so much more fun to belt out a healthy scream at top volume. Therapeutic, I think.

"Your arms are too short to box with God" is a pretty old saying. I think it was even a musical on (or possibly off) Broadway at one point in the past.

I've given up trying to edit any music. My kids are allowed to say "piss me off"...as long as they're singing it!

But the original 7 dirty words are still banned.....

I remember when you cleared that up for said dude. That was funny. I think I've stuck with singing ding doink to that part of the song ever since.

I usually let out an abrupt cough or a hearty Hank Kingsley "HEY NOWWwwwwww"

I told my kids about it, and to this day they still sing "ding doink" because it makes them giggle....

In fact, we've incorporated it into our everyday language when one of of us does something stupid; as in "way to go, ding doink!"

[DLR Bridge]

That's a good use for it. Wouldn't work as well in traffic. "Hey! Why don't ya watch where you're going ya ding doink!!"

You make me feel like a bad father. I never steer around curses in songs when Little Catfish is listening. I just pretend it doesn't mean anything and hope he doesn't notice.

Like one of his current favorite songs, 'More Human than Human,' (primarily because it's the song played during the trailer of the upcoming Disney movie "Planes") when the chick is orgasming, I'm waiting for him to ask what that is so I can tell him she's getting ready to sneeze.

How Do Catfish Mate?

Mating conditions
Spring is the catfish mating season. The catfish do their best mating in warm water. Eggs hatch in about a week. The best mating conditions occur when the females are six years old, and weigh more than three pounds. An eight pound female has the capacity to lay thousands of eggs. Generally, water temperature and the age of the female fish are the primary determinants for mating successfully.

Common breeding styles
The type of insemination that is most common tends to be internal. However, the male catfish may place his sperm in the oral cavity of the female catfish, and she may also allow the sperm to pass into her digestive system.


Nurturing
Catfish mate and take care of their young. They do not leave the eggs unattended unless they have hidden the eggs under rocks. Males often carry the eggs in his mouth until they hatch, and even carry the hatchlings in his mouth until they are mature enough to venture out.

HAHA! Thanks Angel. That makes a ton more sense than being a lemon on the lawn. But with Dave....ya just never know.
