David Lee Roth's version was all about breaking loose from Van Halen and basically just screwing around and having some fun. He loved having more creative directing control over the music videos. Check out "Just A Gigolo."
Point is - the Beach Boys were around in the 60's. Dave did this in the 80's and put it back on the radio but on stations that wouldn't have played the original 'cause it was not current. But Dave being a "Rock" act and fresh out of Van Halen - LOADS of radio stations picked it up. The video is a work of _ART_ ; Dave appears in almost every scene, sometimes twice! He won an award for the colour structure but it actually came about through an accident - he was wearing glacia glasses during post production due to a "hangover" and kept telling them to crank up the tones 'cause they looked dull to him through his shades. The rest is history .. .....
The ending narration overlay was an inside joke mimicking Rod Serlings "Twilight Zone" tv show from i think the 1960s. I like Daves take on the Beach Boy classic. Its true to the original ,with Daves unique style mixed in.
From a 4 song album, with 4 videos, all four intended to make Eddie Van Halen angry, and they worked. 🤣🤣😂😂This is Dave proving that he could chart with utter nonsense, and get MTV play, and he was COR-RECT.
Also this was a warm up along with all his other videos for what would have been the characters in his movie, "Crazy from the Heat". The Picasso brothers and all those guys would have been in the movie that unfortunately never got made.
We need more videos like this today.

I remember his crazy antics well🤣
Beach boys did the backing vocals on this which is why is sounds so good
Seriously? As a Dave fan I didn't know that. Cool
Not true but Brian Wilson loved this version of his song
Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys is doing background vocals
The voice in the beginning & end is mimicking Rod Serling who had a show called the Twighlight Zone. He sounded something like that.
Dave was the ultimate '' Showman ''

Everything Dave did was a work of art. AND I mean that.
The ending bit was David impersonating The Host of "The Twilight Zone", Rod Serling.

What about David Lee Roth? Is he not charismatic?

God I miss the ‘80’s
And how....👍 😀🤙😁🤙🏄🌊🌊🎸🎸🏖️🍹🍸🤙
You need to do “Yankee Rose” or “Loco Del Calor” by Dave😉
As the old man of the group I think you missed some points due to your lack of experience with the two versions, the intent of Roth here, etc.
Remakes are not sang with different lyrics. The ending is from the Twilight zone.
The talking was to sound like the Twilight Zone's Rod Sterling from the 60's.
It is only the beginning was a take from the twilight zone.
