VAN HALEN News Desk has released its top ten Van Halen songs with the best summer time feel. Check out some of them below:

‘Feel Your Love Tonight’

“This is the ultimate weekend song about hittin’ the town with your honey and messing around in the back of your car and trying to score – ‘even beggin’ on your bended knee’ if you have to. What’s more summertime than hanging out with your buddies out behind the bar and anticipating what it will be like to be with the prettiest girl you know later that night? It’s a still-fresh-after-30-years rocker that you can shake your ass to, with amazing feel-good vocal harmonies. This song puts a more racy sexual thrust into the good vibrations of the Beach Boys.

Did you know? When Van Halen played this song live on their first headlining tour in 1979, the entire band would play drums! Alex would start up a drum solo and then Ed, Mike and Dave would all climb up around the drumkit, grab some sticks, and beat the hell out of Alex’s skins. The intense drumming would get faster and faster, building up until the climax, when Roth would throw his sticks in the air and do his amazing flying leap off the drum riser – as the band would launch back into the song.”

‘Ice Cream Man’

“‘Summertime’s here babe, need somethin’ to keep you cool!’ As soon as Roth’s sultry voice and his bluesy guitar hits your ears you can practically smell the dizzying aroma of suntan lotion, and, of course, ice cream.

Did you know? ‘Ice Cream Man’ was a staple of David Lee Roth’s prior to his teaming forces with the Van Halen brothers. He used to perform it alone on an acoustic guitar at the Pasadena, California Ice House. On Van Halen tours he would play the acoustic first verse on the Davesickle – his steel-stringed electric/acoustic that was shaped and painted like a popsickle.

‘Dance The Night Away’

Music doesn’t get much better than this timeless pop single about love in the third degree, which was the band’s first Top 20 hit. Words can’t describe how fun this song is, so we won’t even try.

Did you know? David Lee Roth originally wanted to name this song ‘Dance, Lolita, Dance’. It was Edward’s idea to call it ‘Dance the Night Away.’”

Van Halen has pulled out of plans to tour Australia in summer, News Limited reports.

Promoter Patrick Prendergast, of When The Lion Roars, had pitched a tour in the first week of November. But he added: ''Van Halen have passed on playing in Australia this year - which is a shame.''

Prendergast had been in talks with the band since April and said a deal was ''very, very close".

It is the second time in 18 months Van Halen, reunited with frontman DAVID LEE ROTH, has pulled the pin on visiting Australia. They were confirmed to headline Soundwave Revolution last September, but cancelled, opting to finish an album.
