What's the story behind this part of Unchained? ---->

Woo-hoo! Take a look at this!
Hey man, that suit is you!
Whoo-whee! You'll get some leg tonight for sure!
Tell us how you do! Hoo hoo hoo!
(Come on Dave, gimme a break)
Hey hey hey hey! One break, comin' up!

Hey DM...You kick ASS!

Check this my brother:

"...By now the band learned it was a wise move to keep a microphone wherever David Lee Roth went, and certain things they recorded while he did his thing was put on albums. On Everybody Wants Some, they included something they overheard while he was in a dressing room with a girl (do yourself a favor and play that song right now to check it out!). And for the absolute rock classic, Unchained, from their next consecutive platinum selling album, Fair Warning, they included a little conversation he and Ted Templeman had when Dave saw how Ted was dressed:

“Whooooohoo! Hey man, that suit is you! You’re gonna get some leg tonight for sure! Tell us how you do...!”
“Come on, Dave, gimme a break.”
“He he he hey...One break, coming up!”

OK, you're crazy, baron. Actually you've got a good point, but they're right. It was Templeman. [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Dennis, I read that somewhere, too. It's supposed to be a reference to Ted. But I'm also with VanBaron, as the timing of the album coincides with Ed & Val tying the knot. That's what I always thought - that Dave was talking to Ed. This was also the time that the tensions were coming out, lending that dark feeling to the album. I always assumed that this was also the time when Dave allegedly made that pass at Val. Before or probably shortly after Ed popped the question.

You clever fucker!!!!!

It really does make sense - and its something that DLR would come up with. I'd love to know if its true.

Fuck - I will never listen to that part of the song the same again.

Here we go again with the "dark feeling" of the album. With stuff like "So This is Love", "Dirty Movies", "Hear About it Later", even "Unchained" and "Sinner's Swing" I never saw this dark side that people talk about. As far as the spoken stuff on "Unchained", once again people are reading far too much into Dave's lyrics and spoken words. He's giving Ted shit, simple as that.
