Today’s music video of the day is one of the highlights of the Sammy Hagar era of Van Halen. This song peaked at #2 on the Billboard rock chart and it was also used as the theme song for a Sidney, a short-lived sitcom starring Eddie Van Halen’s then-wife Valerie Bertinelli.
This video was directed by Andy Morahan, who was nominated for a Video Music Award for his work here. Morahan also did videos for Wham, Kim Wilde, Simple Minds, Pet Shop Boys, and Guns ‘N Roses. He also directed the third Highlander film but he didn’t write the script so don’t be too hard on him.
Enjoy!
Have seen VH with both Roth and Hagar. Roth is far and away the better front man. Hands-down. So, yeah, I prefer VH with Diamond Dave.

I agree. What made the original Van Halen lineup so powerful was the mix of Eddie’s technical perfection and David Lee Roth’s showmanship. I like Sammy Hagar’s solo stuff (I can’t Drive 55!) more than his work with Van Halen.
