It’s the funky remake of Van Halen’s “Panama” you didn’t know you needed until you started dancing to it.
Such is the case with the perky new take on the 1984 arena rock classic that comes courtesy of LA’s own the bird and the bee.
“(‘Panama’ is) such an epic, driving, rock jam,” said band member and superstar producer Greg Kurstin in a press statement. “Van Halen blends anthemic songs with virtuosic playing like nobody else, and David Lee Roth always delivers. Inara George and I discovered we were both big fans of Van Halen growing up, and had so much fun re-interpreting this one.”
