A 22-Year Old Question
3:47 mark of this song, what does David Lee Roth say? I've been trying to figure this out since the vid was in heavy rotation on MTV in '88.
It's always sounded like "1-800-CFA-Ho!" to me. I see one site says "1-800-SEE-YA baby". It looks like he's waving at that point in the vid, so it could be "see ya, baaaaaabe, ho!" but that doesn't make sense with the song. Unless he's saying that he's cheating on this Suzy character with the other girl and he's saying goodbye to Suzy (who he seems to admire despite his eagerness to have a multi-night romance with...hey, didn't I just make fun of people who think too hard?)
Anyway, how does a toll-free number even fit in? And all this while mountain-climbing? Lil' help?
