[Verse 1: David Lee Roth]
Call me a doctor
Feelin' no pain
I'm overloaded
Baby, I'm-a down the drain

[Chorus: (Eddie Van Halen & Wolfgang Van Halen)]
(Somebody get me a doctor)

[Verse 2: David Lee Roth]
Call me an ambulance
I'm deep in shock
I'm overloaded
Baby, I can hardly walk

[Chorus: (Eddie Van Halen & Wolfgang Van Halen)]
(Somebody get me a doctor)
(Somebody get me a doctor)

[Verse 2]
Tell me, doctor, one time
Say it loud:
(Japanese)
Feelin' over fine

[Interlude]
Whoo-whoo!

[Guitar Solo]

[Interlude]
Ándale!
Ándale!
Whoo!

[Verse 3: David Lee Roth]
Call me a doctor!
Feelin' no high
I'm overloaded
Say alright, babe!

[Chorus: (Eddie Van Halen & Wolfgang Van Halen) David Lee Roth]
(Somebody get me a doctor)
(Somebody get me a doctor)
(Somebody get me a doctor)
Somebody
Somebody, somewhere
Somebody, somewhere!
Somebody, somewhere [?]
[Japanese]
Somebody get me a shot!

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
