A Van Halen song of their 1981 album Fair Warning. This and the other songs included on that album is probably the most darkest ones out of all the other songs on their albums mainly because all of their others were about partying, booze, girls and cars. This never really became a hit and is not really played on the radio as much as Van Halen's other songs. It is the most under-rated song on the album. the song has a real The police feel to it.
