What was the Van Hagar song they played at the DNC?

[Texasgal]

I can't for the life of me remember the title of the song! Anyone know?

[redqueen]

1. Higher and Higher?

I dunno... seems like that's what the words were, anyhow.

[Texasgal]

3. Higher and Higher?

Maybe that's it.... I wanna check out the lyrics. At first I thought was " I feel good" which would have been a little weird, considering all they sing about is being in love and throwing a message in a bottle to get laid.... or something like that......

[terrya]

2. That Van Halen song was the last one I remember.

I forget the title.

[LouKYDem]

4. Dreams n/t

[Texasgal]

6. You get the gold star TODAY!

That's it.... dreams.....

[Gothic Sponge]

5. I don't know, but it got annoying!

They kept looping it! I thought it would never end!

[LisaM]

7. They looped it till the last balloon fell....

if you listen to Randi's tape, the voice keeps shouting "balloons! balloons!" --- higher and higher --- "confetti, stand by!" -- higher and higher --- "BALLOONS!!!" I will never hear that song again without thinking about balloons....

[Texasgal]

8. Okay.... not that anyone might be interested

BUt here's the lyrics:




Dreams


World turns black and white
Pictures in an empty room
Your love starts fallin down
Better change your tune
Reach for the golden ring
Reach for the sky
Baby just spread your wings
Chorus:
We'll get higher and higher straight up we'll climb
We'll get higher and higher leave it all behind
Run, run, run, away
Like a train runnin off the track
The truth gets left behind
And falls between the cracks
Standing on broken dreams
But never losing sight
Spread your wings
Chorus
So baby dry your eyes, save all the tears you've cried
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Oh baby we belong in a world that must be strong
Ohh that's what dreams are made of
Solo
Chorus
Higher and higher who knows what we'll find
And in the end on dreams we will depend
Cause thats what love is made of

[WilliamPitt]

9. Nice little turnaround here. Check this out.

Bush & Co. used 'Right Now' in some campaign stops in 2000, until the band demanded that they stop.

Looks like the band doesn't mind Kerry using their music, though.

10. Depends who wrote it I guess.

Sammy's a big time Repug asshole. He'll be touring and/or doing some writing with Toby Keith soon. Seriously.

[noahmijo]

11. That's ironic that they used Right Now

Considering the video and the theme of that song has come true in *'s America.

[johnnie]

12. Isn't Sammy a big time repug?

Or is it because Eddie wears the pants in that band?

[Texasgal]

13. I think someone mentioned that

Last week here on DU. There was a link, he gave to the * campaign...... ugggggggg!
