David Lee Roth – Eat ‘Em And Smile

Description

In a nod to his hit solo EP, Roth included two lounge song covers on Eat ‘Em and Smile, “That’s Life” which was a minor hit at the end of 1986 and “I’m Easy,” plus a cover of folk-blues classic, “Tobacco Road.” Two of the album’s original songs, however, became its biggest hits. “Yankee Rose,” a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the Statue of Liberty, became an MTV and radio hit, rising into the Billboard Top 20. The would-be theme to Roth’s then-planned movie, “Goin’ Crazy!” also became an MTV staple that reached #66 on Billboard’s Hot 100 in October of 1986.
