[Intro]
Hey!
Alright!
Whoo! How 'bout 'cha now
Come on
Oh yeah!
Dig it!
That's right
Is everybody ready?
Let's go!
Up and down, around and 'round
In and out
Crank it, blow out
Ouch
Help me
Flip on over

[Verse:]
Oh baby, you know what I like
She choked the chain, she got the hook
Can't get away
Fever starts to climb, reaching 105
I think I need a shot of your love
Love, love is the source
Love, love is the source of infection
Hey Eddie
Say what
That's what I'm talkin' about
Wax it down now
Ready, set, go!

[Chorus]
Love, love is the source
Love, love is the source
Love, love, love, love is the source
Love, love is the source

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
