"Beautiful Girls" is the last song from Van Halen's second album, Van Halen II, from 1979. The song was a concert staple during their tour for this album. The song was originally titled "Bring on the Girls" when it was recorded for the 25-song Warner Brothers demo, but the title and lyrics were changed accordingly.[1]
Cash Box said that "David Lee Roth belts out the lead vocal with a sense of good humor rarely seen in heavy metal."[3]Record World said that Van Halen's "trademark raunchy guitar is accompanied by carefree, youthful vocals."[4] Author Chuck Klosterman ranked it the 20th-best Van Halen song, calling it the "supernatural definition of musical immediacy."[5]
