Van Hagar’s song “Love Walks In” is about alien contact:
Contact is all that it takes
To change your life, to lose your place in time
Contact, asleep or awake
Coming around you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes
Now more than ever, you realize
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
Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces, familiar sights
Reach back, remember with all your might
Ooh, and there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shinin’ down
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
(Guitar Solo)
Oh, sleep and dream; that’s all I crave
I travel far across the milky way
To my master I become a slave
‘Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
Earth returns to what it was before
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
(Guitar Solo)
Love comes walkin’ in
Baby, pull the string
Love comes walkin’ in
Love comes walkin’ in, yeah!
Has anyone tracked these guys’ histories of drug use vs ummm... strange experiences?

Sammy is the best. He is worth tons since he sold his Cabo Wabo tequila for 80 million. He did the best and is the most sane of everyone in Van Halen. His recent book with the tidbits about Eddie and Alex Van Halen is hilarious. Eddie is a total wasteoid.
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange,
Love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string, love
Comes walkin' in

Finally an explanation for the horror of heavy metal.
(Actually, I think Flaming Anal Probe might be playing Coachella next year.)
