"Did you know that Nerf Herder has never met or spoken with anyone from Van Halen, the band that inspired their mid-level hit from January of 1997? It's true! The band did hear that Alex and Eddie Van Halen really liked the song, and the band was given permission to use theirs, and Michael Anthony and Valerie Bertinalli's images in their video for the song. David Lee Roth and Sammy Hagar refused permision, Hagar going far enough as to call the band members "faggots." The video for "Van Halen" was added to regular rotation on MTV and was seen by anyone who was watching the channel at 3 in the morning. M2 played the hell out of the song. And the rest is history."

You're right: it's not funny. But it brings you back to those carefree days when you're a kid and you're so enthralled by the Van Halen sound. Eddie's guitar tapping technique, David's incredible stage charisma and whiskey-soaked vocals, Anthony and Alex's incredible driving beat, and Ted Templeman's always-stellar production - I'm with Parry on this one. It's about nostalgia, not a joke on Halen. The only joke I could catch is how the narrator's revealed to be anti-Van Hagar.

Though he did inspire OU818 by Mr. Bungle. His stuff with Montrose is infinitely better than his Van Halen stint.

this was made before Van Cherone was a thing also, it's a joke tune it's not meant to be a facsimile of the Van Halen sound

You don't hear the slightest bit of Van Roth/Hagar/Cherone/Halen in this "music".

@4eyedCyclopes Now now. Calm down son. Contrary to what popular televisions shows might tell you, the women don'\t go for angry, tiny-dicked steroid freaks, so calm down and everything will be fine.

Remember what DLR said about Rock Critics it also applies to these guys. "The reason rock critics like Elvis Costello and hate Van Halen is that most rock critics look like Elvis Costello"
