"I'll Wait for Bad Girls" by Van Summer



Bill McClintock is still doing what he does best- seamlessly mashing up rock songs with disco dance tunes. Here, we have Van Halen's "I'll Wait" from 1984 mixed with Donna Summer's 1979 song "Bad Girls." It will grab you from the start with a constructed dialogue between Summer and David Lee Roth. The song also contains guitar solo snippets from Steve Vai in David Lee Roth's song "Ladies' Night in Buffalo?" and Zakk Wylde in Ozzy Osbourne's "Breaking All the Rules." 

While the music moves smoothly, the video can be jarring in places. The clips are taken from footage up to more than 20 years apart. While Donna Summer is recognizable in all of them, Van Halen's appearance changed considerably as they aged. (via Laughing Squid
