Song Wedgie

Song: Beautiful Girls
Artist: Van Halen
Album: Van Halen II
Release: 1979

Ah yeah! It’s been so long since I’ve had a Song Wedgie, but this song has hit me a few days in a row. This song is in heavy rotation on SiriusXM’s Classic Rewind. Though it has cheesy lyrics, Beautiful Girls contains one of Diamond Dave’s best screams.

The song was originally titled Bring on the Girls when it was recorded for the 25-song Warner Brothers demo, but the title and lyrics were changed accordingly. [Wikipedia]

Lyrics:
She was seaside sittin, just a smokin and a drinkin on ringside, On top of the world, oh, yeah. She had her drink in her hand; she had her toes in the sand and whoa, What a beautiful girl, ah, yeah. What a sweet talkin honey with a little bit of money can Turn your head around. Creatures from the sea with the look to me like shed like to fool around. What a snappy little mammy. gonna keep her pappy happy And accompany me to the ends of the earth, ah, yeah. Here I am, aint no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Well, I’m a bum in the sun and Im having fun. And I know you know I got no special plans. All the bills are paid. I got it made in the shade, And all I nee, nee, need is the woman. What a sweet talkin honey with a little bit of money can Turn your head around. Creatures from the sea with the looks to me like shed like to fool around. Here I am, ain’t no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Now, I’m a seaside sittin, just a smokin and a drinkin; I’m ringside, on top of the world. I got a drink in my hand; I got my toes in the sand. All I need is a beautiful girl. Here I am, aint no man of the world, no. All I need is a beautiful girl. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls. Ah, yeah! beautiful girls.
