here's the song to refresh your memory
“Love walks in” by Van Halen has been recently re-introduced to me via a local radio station. I’ve seriously heard it 3 times out of a total of 45 listening minutes (over a week or so). Check out the lyrics, don’t they make you say, “wait, what?”
and then you sense a change
nothin' feels the same
all your dreams are strange
love comes walkin' in
some kind of alien
waits for the opening
simply pulls a string
love comes walkin' in
oh, sleep and dream
that's all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
to my master
I've become a slave
'til we meet again
some other day
where silence speaks
as loud as war
earth returns to what it was before
love comes walkin' in
baby, pull a string
I definitely had to find out what was going on in this classic (or used to be) song. Turns out Sammy Hagar believes he was raped by aliens 3 to 4 times.
"I'm a firm believer -- have seen, have felt, have been contacted three or four different times. I have received information that has been valuable in my life from those people, and they have used me. I'm gonna sound like a complete nut here, but they have used me in an experimental fashion" -Sammy Hagar
So there you go. Sammy tried to make the song more popular by adding “Baby pull a string” as if he was singing about a woman, but really the lyrics look like this:
nothin' feels the same – strapped to a table
all your dreams are strange – feeling drugged
love comes walkin' in – (the hook, or chorus. Out of place here)
some kind of alien – Definitely an Alien
waits for the opening – turns you over
simply pulls a string - draws the window shades to a close
love comes walkin' in – penetration/rapes the shit out of you
Next time you’re rocking out hard to this song… Don’t rock out so hard, k?
