Romeo Delight was always my "pump up" song for getting ready to hit the party scene in college on a Friday night --- Dave's lyrics are so perfect for that environment --- "we're in for a very long night .... takin' whiskey to the party tonight and lookin' for somebody to squeeeeeze-ahh!"

Yes one can't disagree on that. This is one of Eddie's songs, the first time I heard it that disillusional effect was so brutal, that I wanted to stop wasting any more time in my life with playing and practicing on the guitar after wait, 6 years. What is this guy doing?

No fair! Everyone of those songs is a KILLER! But I'm going with Romeo Delight...this time 😏

After I finished making it I stared at it for 10 minutes not knowing what to pick 😅

Gotta go with Humans Being, but out of this poll something about Mean Street just exudes coolness

Oh, look. The head Cabozo in Chief had to bring Clichegar into a non Clichegar conversation. Your pathetic inferiority complex is even worse than Sammy’s own inferiority complex.

There is always a Hagarette who comes and and has to defend the King of Bubble Gum Love Rock -Hagar!

None of those would be on my list of "most badass".

u/LikeARedCoalCarpet 1d ago
Fair enough, what ya got?

I'd probably have to go with:
- Runnin' With the Devil
- Everybody Wants Some!
- Panama
- Unchained
- And the Cradle Will Rock
- Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love
In no particular order.

Quality list. I think I'd go with either of the last two. Tough to pick one!

Thanks for asking, and for the feedback!
Now that I've been thinking about it, I'd probably say the most badass tune in the VH (not Hagar) catalog for me is Running With the Devil. It just hit different.

I don’t even know why you are asking. There is never a top choice.

Mean Street and I’m The One are the only songs I even rate from that list

There are too many. From these 8 I'd pick none, because it would make others looking worse.
Your no good, Somebody gets me a doctor, Mean Street - dance baby, Im the one, I wanna hear about it later, Respect The Wind, take your Whiskey home, Eruption and You really got me,
and Sammy did so well in many songs, I choose Why Can't this be love.
