Ocho-rific Song o the Day...
Right Now - Van Halen
For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge - 1992
Well first off, I'm terribly upset that this song came out in 1992.
I didn't realize that 1992 was that long ago, but I've got some icky news for you Cats and Kittens .... 1992 was almost twenty years ago. Believe me, I've fact checked it ... we're all up 'doo-doo creek' ... grab your Oil of Olay and run for cover! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go put my head in the oven.

Don't wanna wait till tomorrow
Why put it off another day
One more walk through problems
Built up, and stand in our way
One step ahead, one step behind me
Now you gotta run to get even
Make future plans, don't dream about yesterday
C'mon turn, turn this thing around
Right now
It's your tomorrow
Right now
C'mon,it's everything
Right now
Catch a magic moment, do it right here and now
It means everything
Miss the beat, you lose the rhythm
And nothing falls into place
Only missed by a fraction
Slipped a little off your pace
The more things you get, the more you want
Just trade in one for another
Workin so hard, to make it easy
Got to turn, c'mon turn this thing around
Right now
It's your tomorrow
Right now
C'mon, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment, do it right here and now
It means everything
It's enlightened me
Right now
What are you waitin' for
Right now
Right now
It's your tomorrow
Right now
C'mon, it's everything
Right now
Catch that magic moment, and do it right, right now
Right now
Right now
Is what's happening
Right here and now
Right now
It's right now
Tell me, what are you waiting for
Turn this thing around

::WIKI "FACTS"::
*Vocalist Sammy Hagar has said that he was writing the lyrics to this song at the studio very late one night, and he heard Eddie Van Halen in an adjacent room working on a piano melody. Hagar said he suddenly realized that "we were writing the same song," so he walked into the room and began singing his words over Van Halen's music.
*The music video (directed by Mark Fenske) reflected on events that were occurring at the time, both within the band and social issues in the world around them.[1] It used big block letters to display sentences such as "right now, people are having unprotected sex" and "right now, someone is working too hard for minimum wage", to describe the footage in the background. This concept was used previously in videos like Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise".
*The video won three awards at the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, including the award for Video of the Year.[2] It was later used in Crystal Pepsi commercials between 1992 and 1993.
