Van Halen's Panama

Home away from home

With Eddie Van Halen passing yesterday, the airways have been flooded with his band's music.
Since owning a Panama, I enjoy the rock radio staple even more. Now I kind of surmised the song was about a car, the engine sound featured in the tune sounds exactly like a grey market Testarosa that I heard many years ago.
The real story that I heard in an interview was that DLR, the lead singer, wrote the song about a stripper named "Panama" that he had seen in an L.A. club one night.
Now you know the "rest of the story"
