Check out David Lee Roth’s Tribute Song To Eddie Van Halen

David Lee Roth has posted a tribute song to his band mate Eddie Van Halen, “Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bar And Grill”. Check out the song here.

It was a sad day on October 6th 2020 when we lost Eddie Van Halen.

As much as it has affected us, his fans, think of how his friends and band mates must feel.

David Lee Roth posted a tribute song to Eddie.

The song “Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bar And Grill” is definitely a look back to their early days.

The song references “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” and even steals a line from Elton John’s “Crocodile Rock”.

That line is “Never knew me a better time, and I guess I never will”.

In the image of the video there is a message that simply says “Hey Ed I’m gonna miss ya'. See you on the other side...”

Check out the song below.

Below the song you’ll find the lyrics that were posted with the video.

Somewhere Over The Rainbow Bar And Grill

WORKIN' THE CORNERS

WHEN THE RECORD DEAL HAPPENED

AND THE WEEK BEFORE I FOUND OUT

I WAS SLEEPIN' ON THE FLOOR

WITH MY NEW BEST GAL

IN A VERY VERY EMPTY HOUSE

WRONG KINF OF NON CONFORMIST

THATS THE CASE AND ALWAYS BE

IN A SLEEPING BAG FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE

MY GIRLFRIEND AND ME

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL

NEVER KNEW ME A BETTER TIME

AND I GUESS I NEVER WILL

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL

SOME SAY THEY WAS HAPPY THEN

ME, I’M HAPPY STILL

DOWN AT THE LOCAL CANTEEN

YOU KNOW THE SMELL OF FRESH SAWDUST

WHEN THEY FIRST THROW IT ON THE FLOOR

YOU HEAR A ROCKIN' LITTLE RHYTHM

FROM INSIDE THE RYTHYM KITCHEN

AS YOU’RE WALKIN' PAST THE CANTEEN DOOR

120 DEGREES, GOOD TIMES SPREADING LIKE HUMANITY

HERE’S WHAT I FOUND OUT

THIS ONE BELONGS IN THE BOOK OR IT OUGHTTA BE;

WE’LL DO A SHOT AS WE SAIL OUT!


THE AUTHORITY’S IMPLORED US

AND IT HAPPENED FREQUENTLY

IN A SLEEPING BAD FRONT OF THE FIREPLACE

YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND ME

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL

ITS A DAMN GOOD STORY

AND THERE’S STILL MORE TO TELL

SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW BAR AND GRILL

SOME SAY TIME AIN’T GOT BETTER

MAYBE THEY STILL WILL.


YEAH WE KNOW ALL THE PUNCHLINES

BUT WE STILL LAUGH LIKE HELL

ONE THING NEVER CHANGES;

STILL CAN’T AFFORD THE BILL
