We need more videos like this today.

David Lee Roth's version was all about breaking loose from Van Halen and basically just screwing around and having some fun. He loved having more creative directing control over the music videos. Check out "Just A Gigolo."

Beach boys did the backing vocals on this which is why is sounds so good

Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys is doing background vocals

The voice in the beginning & end is mimicking Rod Serling who had a show called the Twighlight Zone. He sounded something like that.

Dave was the ultimate '' Showman ''

The ending bit was David impersonating The Host of "The Twilight Zone", Rod Serling.

The ending narration overlay was an inside joke mimicking Rod Serlings "Twilight Zone" tv show from i think the 1960s. I like Daves take on the Beach Boy classic. Its true to the original ,with Daves unique style mixed in.

Point is - the Beach Boys were around in the 60's. Dave did this in the 80's and put it back on the radio but on stations that wouldn't have played the original 'cause it was not current. But Dave being a "Rock" act and fresh out of Van Halen - LOADS of radio stations picked it up. The video is a work of _ART_ ; Dave appears in almost every scene, sometimes twice! He won an award for the colour structure but it actually came about through an accident - he was wearing glacia glasses during post production due to a "hangover" and kept telling them to crank up the tones 'cause they looked dull to him through his shades. The rest is history .. .....

Love the Kiss album in the background !

The 60s Twilight Zone TV show reference at the beginning and end,,We lived it,,,David is a performer,This vid got it right.....

From a 4 song album, with 4 videos, all four intended to make Eddie Van Halen angry, and they worked. 🤣🤣😂😂This is Dave proving that he could chart with utter nonsense, and get MTV play, and he was COR-RECT.

Also this was a warm up along with all his other videos for what would have been the characters in his movie, "Crazy from the Heat". The Picasso brothers and all those guys would have been in the movie that unfortunately never got made.

What about David Lee Roth? Is he not charismatic?

God I miss the ‘80’s

You need to do “Yankee Rose” or “Loco Del Calor” by Dave😉

Remakes are not sang with different lyrics. The ending is from the Twilight zone.

The talking was to sound like the Twilight Zone's Rod Sterling from the 60's.

Que bella eres un abrazo desde Santiago Chile Marcelo Blum

It is only the beginning was a take from the twilight zone.

As the old man of the group I think you missed some points due to your lack of experience with the two versions, the intent of Roth here, etc.
