A lot of VH fans already know about this, but for the thousands of our readers that don’t…
Nerf Herder is a pop punk band from Santa Barbara formed in 1994. One of the things they are most known for is their 1996 single “Van Halen”, a parody tribute to the our favorite band, which attracted significant radio airplay and led to their first major record deal.
Nerf Herder’s “Van Halen” lyrics:
I bought Van Halen I
It was the best damn record I ever owned
TG&Y 1978
Two hand tapping guitar technique really got me off
Eruption yeah, ain’t talkin’ ’bout love, I’m on fire
Tomorrow may come
Tomorrow may never come again
Can’t you hear Jamie cryin?
She’s runnin’ with the devil
I bought Women and Children First
Fair Warning and Van Halen II
Dance the night away
1984 my favorite record yeah I wore it down
Might as well jump
Tomorrow may come
Tomorrow may never come again
Can’t you hear Jamie cryin?
She’s runnin’ with the devil
Is this what you wanted, Sammy Hagar?
Sammy Hagar, is this what you wanted, man?
Dave lost his hairline but you lost your cool buddy
Can’t drive 55
I’ll never buy your lousy records again
Again, again, again, never again…
Tomorrow may come
Tomorrow may never come again
Can’t you hear Jamie cryin?
She’s runnin’ with the devil
Jump jump jump jump jump jump jump, might as well jump
