David Lee Roth once explained that the title of the album and the cover art was meant to imply вЂњthere was something going on thatвЂ™s not apparent to your eyesвЂ¦ A lot of people approach Van Halen as sort of the abyss.

вЂњThe Full BugвЂќ got its title from a saying that originates from killing a cockroach by stepping on it. The lyrics to the song вЂњSecretsвЂќ came from greeting cards and get-well cards that David bought in Albuquerque, New Mexico that were written in the style of American Indian poetry.ДЎ1. Roth recorded the song with a Walkman and played it for the band who laughed at it and decided to do it.ДЎ0. David Lee Roth got the idea to do the cover of вЂњBig Bad Bill.вЂќ He heard the song on a weird Louisville, Kentucky radio station he picked up with an antenna at his fatherвЂ™s house. The band put together the video for вЂњ(Oh) Pretty WomanвЂќ but the clip was too long so the band added вЂњIntruderвЂќ to put before вЂњ(Oh) Pretty WomanвЂќ and run at the beginning of the video so the film they made would fit.ДЁ.

David Lee Roth said the group could have done any number of Kinks songs since they knew tons of them and played them nightly when they had club gigs.Д¤.

Diver Down opens with a cover of The KinksвЂ™ вЂњWhere Have All the Good Times Gone,вЂќ Van HalenвЂ™s second time doing a Kinks cover вЂ“ their first was вЂњYou Really Got MeвЂќ on their 1978 debut. He once said, вЂњIвЂ™d rather have a bomb with one of my songs than a hit with someone elseвЂ™s.вЂќДЈ. The album is one of Eddie Van HalenвЂ™s least favorites because it features five covers.
