316

This song, from the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge album, derived its name from the birthday of Wolfgang William Van Halen, son of Eddie and Valerie, born 03/16/91. During Valerie's pregnancy, Eddie would lay a guitar next to her stomach and play this song, which had a calming effect on the then-unborn Wolfgang.

Eddie used to play this song as an introduction to his live solo as early as the 5150 tour.

For the album version, Eddie used a Chet Atkins steel-string acoustic solid-body guitar and an Eventide H3000 harmonizer.

The live solo Eddie performed for the Live: Right Here, Right Now album was also given the name "316" because the solo began with a rendition of the For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge version of the song.
