Van Halen is an American hard rock band formed in Pasadena, California, in 1972. The band achieved success after the release of its debut album Van Halen (1978). As of 2007, Van Halen has sold 75 million albums worldwide and has had the most #1 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, Van Halen is the 19th best-selling band/artist of all time with sales of over 56 million albums in the United States alone, and is one of five rock bands that have had two albums sell more than 10 million copies in the U.S. In 1996, the RIAA certified their debut album diamond for ten million in U.S. sales.
The band is also known for the drama surrounding the exits of former members. The multiple exits of lead singers David Lee Roth, Sammy Hagar and Gary Cherone were surrounded in controversy and press coverage, including numerous conflicting press statements between the former singers and the band. Following their 2004 concert tour the band was on a hiatus from the public until September 2006, when new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen's place was confirmed and Roth reunion rumors began to re-surface, both events coinciding with the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction on March 12, 2007. After years of speculation, Van Halen began a tour with Roth across North America in 2007 and into 2008. On December 26, 2011, Van Halen announced a tour for 2012, and released their first album in 14 years, A Different Kind of Truth, on February 7, 2012.
Senorita I'm in trouble again and I can't get free
You're exactly what the doctor ordered
Come on talk to me, can't crow before I'm out of the woods
But there's exceptions to the rule
Senorita, do you need a friend? I'm in love with you
Catch as catch, catch as catch
Can anybody in their right mind could see
It's you and me
You say you're lonesome, just gettin' by
But you turn your eyes from me
Be sure you're hurtin' long before you fly
'Cause, you've got me
Catch as catch, catch as catch
Can anybody in their right mind could see, you and me
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
When I see you, all your little guitars sing to me
I can see you, don't know which way to turn
But the sun still shines
Don't you know that you can dance with me
Anytime?
Can't crow before I'm out of the woods
There's exceptions to the rule
Senorita, do you need a friend?
