CABO WABO:
I've been to rome, dallas, texas
Man, I thought I'd seen it all
Around the world, search in every corner
Man, I thought I'd hit the wall
There's a sleepy town, south of the border
If you go there once, you'll be there twice
Lots of pretty girls, coming by the dozens
The white sand sure makes a tan look nice

We can crash on the beach
You know I wanna make love in the sea
We gotta try a little dance, so cabo wabo
It's alright by me

Come on, let me take you down
I will show you around
Let me take you down
Face down in cabo
Kissing the ground

Land's end, you'd have to see it
Ain't no picture ever say it right
Walkin' the streets doing that ole, the cabo wabo
Place comes to life every night

I wanna crash on the beach
You know I wanna make love in the sea
It's all right there
We don't have to chase it
Fits paradise to a t

Come on, let me take you down
I will show you around
Let me take you down
Face down in cabo
Kissing the ground

YOU REALLY GOT ME:
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin' Ow!
Girl, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
(Owwww!)

Girl (Girl), you really got me now
You got me so I don't know where I'm goin' yeah
Oh yeah (Yeah), you really got me now
Got me so I can't sleep at night

You really got me
You really got me (Oh!)
You really got me

Van Halen

Van Halen is one of the most iconic American rock bands of all time. Formed in Pasadena, California in 1972, the group’s primary line-up consisted of Eddie Van Halen on guitar, Alex Van Halen on drums, David Lee Roth providing lead vocals, and Michael Anthony providing bass duties and significant harmonies.

Their first six albums, recorded and released between 1977–1984, are considered to be classics and pioneering efforts in the field of hard rock. Eddie Van Halen’s groundbreaking guitar sound and techniques completely changed the landscape of music and radio culture in the 1980s. His and brother Alex’s virtuosity, along with David Lee Roth’s charisma and bassist Michael Anthony’s foundational contributions garnered the band early comparisons to their predecessors—Led Zeppelin—a group who had a profound influence on them. Though, even more so than Jimmy Page, Eddie cites Eric Clapton as having the biggest impact on his playing.

In 1977, after recording a demo with Gene Simmons (who wanted the band to change their name to “Daddy Longlegs”) they were introduced to KISS‘ management, who told Simmons they wouldn’t sign them
