"According to ClassicVanHalen.com, the synthesizer-driven song is about a girl wearing men's underwear in a Calvin Klein print media ad. (David Lee) Roth tacked the picture next to a Sony Trinitron TV and he and (Doobie Brothers vocalist/keyboardist Michael) McDonald addressed the lyrics to her."
McDonald was a vocalist/songwriter for hire for this album's producer, Warner's Ted Templeman, which explains why the song is keyboard-driven and not sounding much like a Van Halen song.
