  • Van Halen - And the Cradle will rock 1980
    Ow
    Oh yeah, get up
    Ow! (Yeah)
    Ow! Ow!
    Well, they say it's kinda frightnin'
    How this younger generation swings
    You know it's more than just some new sensation
    Well, the kid is into losin' sleep
    And he don't come home for half the week
    You know it's more than just an aggravation
    And the cradle will rock
    Yes the cradle, cradle will rock
    And I say rock on. Uh! Rock on
    And when some local kid gets down
    They try an' drum him outta town
    They say, "Ya coulda least faked it, boy"
    Fake it, boy (Ooh, stranger, boy)
    At an early age he hits the street
    Winds up tied with who he meets
    An' he's unemployed (Unemployed?) Ow!
    And the cradle will rock. Ow!
    And the cradle, the cradle will rock
    An' I say rock on. Oh, say, rock on
    (Instrumental)
    Have you seen Junior's grades?
    Ooh
    Ow!
    And when some local kid gets down
    They try an' drum him outta town
    They say, "Ya could've least faked it, boy. Faked it, boy"
    And so an early age he hits the street
    'N winds up tied with who he meets
    An' he's unemployed. His folks are overjoyed
    And the cradle will rock
    Yes the cradle, cradle will rock
    I say rock on. Hey! Rock on
    Rock on. Rock on. Rock on
    This ain't never been new, babe, child. Ow!
    Rock on, wow! I said
    Rock on. Rock on. Oh, oh, oh
    Rock on. Oh, ow, ah, ah, ah
    Rock on. Rock on. Rock on

      Not to mention this performance was in protest of being forced to lip sync. Dave went so over the top to make it obvious to viewers as a middle finger to the show for not letting them do it live.

    this song back in the 80s was probably the biggest and best song by Van Halen because they played it all the time on the radio and that's all you heard blaring from people's radios or stereos in their car. It's funny people who could listen to cassette back then would rewind over and over again and forget there were nine others that were just as good

  • @borther00

    Young David has more sartorial cajones than 99% of all the showmen out there. New York Dolls go on holiday with Eno and Vince Noir in Iceland - glamfest 1980. And even more to his chutzpah cred: the audience is all but comatose. Lipsync'd, but it's on TV, they probably had little choice in the matter. And he's got the Elvis moves turned up to 11. I'm not even a van halen fan and this is pretty rockin stuff all the way around.

    The first track and only single released from Van Halen's third album Women And Children First, "And The Cradle Will Rock" tells a vague story about a recalcitrant youth who upsets his parents and the elders in town with his penchant for rock and roll, which they all know isn't a real job. The title is a loose play on the nursery rhyme "Rockabye Baby."
