Skyscraper fue el segundo disco en solitario de David Lee Roth tras abandonar Van Halen de una forma atropellada y poco amistosa (más de 20 años después de la separación el grupo vuelve a tocar juntos y llenar estadios y hacer caja con la nostalgia de sus primeros discos). Se acompaña de unos músicos de lujo, Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan y Greg Bissonette y el disco es divertido. Chicas, fiestas, sexo y rock. La música perfecta para unos días calurosos.
El vídeo de Just Like Pradise es curioso, combina la estética de los ochenta con los excesos escénicos (a veces ridículos) de Roth y Vai. Una buena canción para mover los pies…
Just Like Paradise (David Lee Roth)
Rockin' steady in her daddy's car
She got the stereo
With the big guitars
And that's all right
(all right)
I got the itch
And a restless soul
She gone with the wind
Gonna go for broke tonight
And that's all night
Girl, we've been meant for this
Since we were born
No problems now (the coast is clear)
It's just the calm before the storm
Chorus:
This must be just like livin' in paradise
And I don't want to go home
Suzy, Suzy, Girl, for cryin' out loud
You got all the right moves
You make me eat my heart out
Nightly
And that's all right with me!
No special favors
Make it out to cash
We'll spend it later
Got to make this romance last
That's it, that's it
Some folks say "easy come is easy go"
(And some folks say)
But one night ain't enough for me
Girl, hang on tight and don't let go
Chorus several times
