they’re hot for teachers
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top ten
van Halen songs for this list we’ve
chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most commercially successful
songs number ten right now
tired of writing superficial lyrics
Sammy Hagar gave more serious topics a
try on this track from Van Halen’s ninth
record thanks to its exploration of
socially relevant issues right now was
later used to make political statements
that’s not why I made our list this hard
rocker returns to the Bands guitar bass
sound add some piano and offers an
anthemic chorus
let’s not forget it’s MTV Video Music
Award winning music video
number nine danced the night away
inspired by Fleetwood Mac van Halen
composed this song in the late 1970s for
their sophomore effort thanks to Eddie
Van Halen’s guitar tapping David Lee
Roth’s accessible vocals Michael
Anthony’s memorable bass lines and a
danceable rhythm the hard rocking tune
earned crossover appeal
dance the night away became the band’s
first single to chart within the
Billboard Hot 100’s top 20
number eight runnin with the devil
because their first ever single was a
king’s cover many people were only
really introduced to Van Halen’s mix of
heavy metal and hard rock on runnin with
the devil
as the second single from their
self-titled debut it showed the band
didn’t only know how to rock but they
also knew how to rock hard
while Roth displayed his screams the
band offered a sonic assault that kept
us hooked all the way through
number seven unchanged
that halen sports record is considered a
much darker and heavier effort than
their previous records
this three and a half minute number just
about halfway through fair warning is no
exception
with its quick pace Roth’s tough vocals
and Eddie Van Halen’s use of the audio
effect called planning unchain has
become a fan favorite it’s also
memorable for the inclusion of producer
Ted templeman’s voice during the
interlude
number six dreams
while it still features Van Halen’s hard
rock sound this single from their first
album with Sammy Hagar differentiates
itself with its synth rock influences
this met Eddie Van Halen was doing
double-duty on guitar and keyboards and
the result was a top 30 track on the
Billboard Hot 100
nine years later dreams help the band
attract new friends when it was used in
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers the movie
number-5 eruption really got me
eruption is a short instrumental piece
that precedes Van Halen’s cover of the
kinks on their debut album as such
they’re often played together both in
concert and on the radio
that’s why we’ve bundled them here
though they’re both great with different
reasons
thanks to Eddie Van Halen’s famous
tapping technique the former’s one of
the most respected guitar solos ever
while you really got me gave the band
their first top 40 hit
number four jump
with its synth infused opening and
stadium rock sound jump seemed destined
for live play while it features an Eddie
Van Halen guitar solo 1984’s lead single
also paved the way for the band to adopt
a more mainstream sound the tune caught
on so well it became Van Halen’s first
and only hot 100 chart toppers radio and
MTV also embraced the track and it
remains one of their most well known
today
you
number three hot for teacher
while this hard rock and heavy metal
number features some splendid guitar
work from Eddie Van Halen
it’s the energetic drumming by his
brother Alex that ultimately drives the
track
and while it only found moderate success
on the Billboard charts hot for teacher
still made waves for its risque lyrical
content
but it’s the singles accompanying music
video starring a scantily clad former
Playboy Playmate that we still can’t
seem to forget
number two ain’t talkin bout love
so the groundbreaking sound of their
eponymous first album spawned several
classics it’s ain’t talking about love
that’s got us hooked
after the opening riff reels us in we’re
immediately transfixed by Eddie Van
Halen’s raw guitar and entranced by
David Lee Roth’s hard rock and vocals
the almost four-minute tune really packs
a punch and has spawned multiple covers
before we unveil our number one pick
here are a few honorable mentions
come on man lay back
number one Panama
while it’s rumored to be about a car
Panama’s lyrics also feature some
sexually suggestive moments that are
hard to ignore
despite this or maybe because of it
the three-and-a-half minute number from
1984 charted within the Billboard Hot
100’s top 20
but that’s not all with its heavy guitar
riff and femme ik h er and fusion of
hard rock and heavy metal
it’s everything you want from a van
Halen track and so much more do you
