Cabo Wabo

This song was written two days prior to being recorded for the OU812 album. It was recorded on a "Villagecaster," a homemade hybrid in Eddie's guitar collection featuring a Fender Villager 12-string neck married to a Fender Telecaster body with Schecter pickups. Eddie had his amplifier in a separate room from him and Mike during recording. This track marks the first appearance of a Wah pedal in a guitar solo on a Van Halen album.

The song also appears on the Live: Right Here, Right Now album.

Alternate titles for this track included "Face Down in Cabo."
