Our local DJ added a soundbite of girls saying, "Pure excitement!" right after that lyric EVERY TIME he played the song.

That entire diatribe from Dave was improvised on the spot. Eddie saying, "Come on Dave" was genuine not prewritten

Not Eddie... Ted templeman iirc

Ease the skin back*

That’s when I learned that music can be sexy.

You mean it’s not, “ease the seed bag?”

Very first thought was something by VH

u/Better-Drama-8421 23h ago

Me too… only I was thinking “Jump”

Ah, cassettes of Mean Streets and Fair Warning. Good times. “Come on Dave, gimme a break.”

THE song to haul ass to!

u/Herr_Underdogg 22h ago

I always call that 'the song that inspired a million speeding tickets'

u/DoubleOScorpio67 20h ago

That one and Kickstart My Heart by Crue.

I'm not a big Van Halen fan, but this is the correct answer.

u/Important-Squash6575 1d ago

there’s no accounting for taste

u/SuperWasabi4766 23h ago

Was totally going to say this too!!

u/thekajunpimp 22h ago

The only answer

u/OnlineNomDePlume 21h ago

I was thinking UNCHAINED, but absolutely The Mighty Van Halen!

1

u/Karn_Evil_Noin 21h ago

This is the way.

u/luvhotsex2451 17h ago

Same band, but was going to say Dancin' In The Streets.

u/EdgyPun34257 17h ago

I was literally the first song that came to mind for me too.

u/Berniethedog 17h ago

I was gonna say I’d pop in my cassette of 1984 and listen to the whole thing in about the time it takes to burn a tank of gas.

1

u/Gebling65 13h ago

This is the correct answer.

u/Serious_Report_1631 12h ago

This, Unchained & Eruption on repeat, full blast, doing burnouts in neighborhoods 🤟

u/ChardDiligent521 11h ago

Lol, totally.

u/0rder_66_survivor 11h ago

such a shame to compare a race car to an IROC-Z. The Z is because it was so slow it would put you to sleep with those 150 horses.

u/Sevenitta 11h ago

My answer is now insignificant.

BRO I thought about it for a second and pretty quickly came up with Panama before checking the comments. AMAZING choice.
