Best flow of words in a Van Halen song

[BrokenCombs]

What is the best flow of lyrics in a Van Halen tune?

My vote is the following:

"Well my baby's on the corner and she's looking so fine, put one and one together and it blows my mind, a man needs love to live, I'm the living proof, catch that smile and I hit the roof!"

That is the BEST. Love the way that flows!
So This is Love? kicks ass.

How about everyone else?

[paradiddle]

Wanna see my ID, tryin to clip my wings, don't half to show you proof of anything...

I'm takin whisky to the party tonight and I'm lookin for someone to squeeze, ain't lookin for somebody to fight, baby don't get uptight!

The entire "Light Up the Sky"

oh, so many more...

I like this from Feelin' [img]smilies/thumb.gif[/img]

Black is white and white is black
Got politicians smokin' crack
And John Paul's all bullet-proofed
It puts me through the roof, yeah....
I were you and you were me
I wonder who I'd rather be
If I had on wish I'd take it

I been to the edge, an' there I stood an' looked down
You know I lost a lot of friends there baby,
I got no time to mess around

cheers,

Ain't got no money, got no house on the hill
Tell me honey, will your lovin' pay my bills, yeah? Pay my bills
Neighbors gettin' crazy 'bout the noise next door
It's a major violation, carried away for sure, yeah. I know!

See, I been tried and convicted, it's winner take all
I wanna run for my money, that's all

DLR has way way too many to count and I particularly like the lyrics to the verses "5150" for Hagar.

I gotta go with this though if I was forced to choose...

"We was broke and hungry and a summer dayyyy...
sent the sheriff down to try and drive us awayyyy...
We was sitting ducks for the pol-eece mannn... they found a dirty faced kid in a garbage cannn... Ha"

can't do that to me, there's too many. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

You've mentioned some good ones already but the lyrics to 'Top Jimmy' come to mind.

Anybody ever sing 'Big Fat Money' without getting tongue-twisted? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[Stuff No More]

I was just thinking BFM for this, Raldo. It flows well, whether you like the lyrics or not.

There's really only one verse I can get through without screwing up.

Too much temptation, 'nuff to kill a generation
Space station, starvation, premature ejaculation
This ain't groovy, this ain't funky
It's on my back but it ain't my monkey, no!

Some friends of mine, just the other night
Went to hear this cool cat blow
They said he sang so good that the roof fell in
And he didn't even stop the show
They don't remember the place,
But they remember the face,
And now everybody wanna go. Woo!

Top Jimmy cooks!
Top Jimmy swings!
He's got the look! Woo!
Top Jimmy, he's the king!

Jimmy on the television
Famous people on there with him
Jimmy on the news at five!
Jimmy on the radio and even on the video
The baddest cat alive!

Drivin' all the women crazy
All they want is Jimmy baby
Love it when he rolls his eyes!

Don't forget this often over-looked gem:

Looks just like an angel, but he just talkin' trash
You make conversation, but she's listening to your cash
Takers need a giver, this much we understand
All I wanna give you woman. . .
Is the best part of a man, yeah
