Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Spanked. By Songfacts®.

This song is about phone sex: "Three dollars, first minute, gosh, man, after that, cost ya four." It sounds like something David Lee Roth would write, but Sammy Hagar was Van Halen's lead singer for this one; For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge (check the acronym), was his third album with the band.

At the time, phone sex lines had 900 numbers, which is why Sammy tells us we can reach the "spank line" at 1-900-spanked. Sir Mix-A-Lot had his own 900 number that he put into the lyric of "Baby Got Back" the following year ("dial 1-900-MIX-A-LOT, and kick them nasty thoughts).
