    My all time favorite one. I love this freakin' tune! I just think it's so well done, both musically, lyrically etc... It's got such spunk, such attitude...Makes me randy when I hear it.(Oh was that out loud? ) This tune kicks ASS!!!!!


    Anyone else consider it their favorite , or am I the only one? Like it, hate it? Tell me about it...

    It's not my all-time favorite but it ranks near the top of the best songs done with David Lee Roth.

    It's an awesome song, very unique for Van Halen. Great sound when Alex first taps the drums at the start.

    I would love to hear them do this song live. I've said before, it would really work as the first encore. They've been off the stage for a few minutes, then start the lights swirling around and have Eddie playing that slide intro for a minute or two in the dark. Then have them crash into it. Of course, at a reunion show, half the audience wouldn't know "Dirty Movies", but that's okay.

    Glenn- Do you know if they ever performed this song live? To my knowlege no, but you never know? Does anyone know if they ever did this live?


    Yeah, I LOVE this song. It is truly unique. Not a real "hard rocker" like Unchained or Judgement Day, or Romeo Delight...But it's my favorite (followed closely by Little Guitars.)

    Well Glenn, that's true, probably most of the audience would not have a clue what song it was-------->But that crazy yelling you hear? That would be ME going crazy, getting to hear my favorite VH song live!!!

    As far as I know they never did "Dirty Movies" live. But you never know, maybe they jammed a part of it somewhere. If they did, I'd love to hear it.

    "Dirty Movies" is such a great song. I'm actually surprised no one here ranks it as their favorite VH song....


    There is just such a great groove in that song, I love Ed's guitar work in it and the ambience it creates in my head, when I hear it.....Hell you can practically feel the stickiness of the floor under your seat as you listen to it...

    <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>You're a true fan BC, only a true fan would rate "Dirty Movies" as his favorite. Frankly, I'm not too surprised that no one else has picked it as their favorite, it's buried pretty deep in the catalogue by other, more well known, tunes. It's always near the top, but Little Guitars is the champion for me.

    Years ago, my answering machine message used to say "leave your name, number and favorite Van Halen song at the beep" (this is when I still lived with my parents). Almost everyone said Jump. Side note, one time a friend of my Mom's called and she said on the machine, "I don't know what a Van Halen is".

    Yeah Glenn-

    "Dirty Movies" has been my fav for many, many years. I guess I really AM a true fan I've just always dug that tune. That's funny about your answering machine message....Very cool.

    Yeah if I had to pick my top 5 VH songs of all time it would be something like this:

    1. "Dirty Movies"
    2. Little Guitars
    3. I'm The One
    4. Unchained
    5. Summer Nights

    Cool Sacto, I'm glad you feel that way...I think DM is such an overlooked song in the VH catalogue. The song is WAAAAAAAY underrated and that's a shame.

    Love that song and YOU should TOO!

    You stole my quote! I love that one and "Take it oooooff! Take it ALL off!!!!" and the cheering that goes on. "Do you remember when that girl was prom queen? Oh, wow." I love the catcall Eddie does at the beginning of the song with his slide guitar.

    As I've said everyone..."Dirty Movies" is the best!....If you disagree, at least do me the favor of giving it another listen. It can't be beat!

    Yeah I love how Ed makes the cat call noises with the guitar. How freaking cool is that shit!!!

    It's cool to have songs that are lesser known. They become like underdogs that you always root for over the big bullies like Panama and Jump.
