Sammy Hagar recounts how Eddie Van Halen woke him up with a phone call at 4 AM and was excited about this amazing riff he'd worked up. He played it for him over the phone and the red rocker started coming up with some words. The song would become an 80s classic. The title track of their 1986 multiplatinum hard rock album 5150. Micheal Anthony added his signature backing vocals and Alex Van Halen killed it on the drums. Named after Eddie's studio and produced by Mick Jones of Foreigner. Van Halen had their first #1 album which was amazing considering that David Lee Roth quite a year before.
