PANAMA - VAN HALEN w/David Lee Roth
subscribe for more!PANAMA - VAN HALEN"Panama" is a song from Van Halen's highly successful album MCMLXXXIV. It was the second single released from that record and is one of their most recognized songs.The song was written about a stripper, not a car as alluded to by popular belief. [citation needed] Interestingly, this rumor was born out of the fact that critics accused David Lee Roth of writing about nothing more than partying, sex, and cars. But he realized that he hadn't written a song about cars. In an interview with Howard Stern , Roth explained the meaning behind the trademark song. The sounds and some of the lyrics involve cars, but in reality, the song is about a stripper that Roth saw perform in Las Vegas, her name was "Panama," hence the title of the song.During the bridge of the song where he says "I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it," guitarist Eddie Van Halen can be heard revving his Lamborghini in the background. The car was backed up to the studio and microphones attached to the exhaust pipe to record the sound for the song.[1]When U.S. troops used high volume heavy metal music to flush Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega from the Vatican embassy in 1989, "Panama" was among the Van Halen tracks included in the sound barrage."Panama" is featured in the opening title for the American version of the PlayStation 2 game Gran Turismo 4 and advertisements for the film Superbad.Lyrics are printed below:Jump back, whats that sound ?Here she comes, full blast and top down.Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue.Model citizen zero disciplineDont you know shes coming home with me?Youl lose her in the turn.Ill get her!Panama, panamaPanama, panamaAint nothin like it, her shiny machine.Got the feel for the wheel, keep the moving parts clean.Hot shoe, burnin down the avenue,Got an on-ramp comin through my bedroom.Dont you know shes coming home with me?Youll lose her in the turn.Ill get her!Yeah, were runnin a little bit hot tonight.I can barely see the road from the heat comin off of it.Ah, you reach down, between my legs,Ease the seat back.Shes blinding, Im flying,Right behind the rear-view mirror now.Got the feeling, power steering,Pistons popping, aint no stopping now!Panama, panamaPanama, panama---------------------------------------- --Below is for search engine optimization:(please ignore)PANAMA - VAN HALENpANAMA - VAN HALENPANAMA - VAN HALANPaNaMa - VaN HaLeNVanHalen panama pana ma van alen vn alen haln dvid lee roth david lee roth eddie eddy van halen hot helan for teacher PANAMA - VAN HALENand the videoPANAMA - VAN HALEN not live video too bad
