Rock fans may know “5150” as a Van Halen album and song from 1986, but Country fans may know it as a song by Dierks Bentley. The Arizona born country singer explains, “It’s the police code for a criminally insane person”. In his 2012 hit song “5-1-5-0“, you can hear him singing, “Somebody call the po-po / I’m going crazy / Thinkin’ about you baby.” Dierks released 5-1-5-0 in 2012 and and Van Halen released 5150 as their seventh studio album and title track in 1986. It was the first of four albums to be recorded with new lead singer Sammy Hagar, who replaced David Lee Roth. In Van Halen’s song “5150” you can hear Sammy singing, “Always one more / You’re never satisfied.” Which version do you like better?
