[Spoken Intro]
Big hand for [?], my—
My sempai, here
Give him a hand, here
Give him a hand, he's in the audience tonight
And I headed across the water
To the land of the gods and the land of the tears
Great big pond of water
And I'm up to Japanese in my ears, yeah
(Japanese)
Ice cream time!
Yeah!

[Verse 1]
Well, now, summertime's here, babe, need somethin' to keep you cool
Summertime's here, babe, need somethin' to keep you cool
Baby, look out now, I've got somethin' for you
Tell ya what it is

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
