This track off Van Halen's fourth studio album, Fair Warning, is a bit edgier and gloomier than most of the band's David Lee Roth-era work that had been recorded before that time. Interestingly, this song was never released as a single yet it gets significant radio play on classic rock and pop format stations. (See also: Stairway to Fucking Heaven)

It is incredibly fun to drop portions of the spoken portion of the song (in italics below) during conversations to see if anyone can pick up the remainder of the dialog.

Title: Unchained
Artist: Van Halen
Written By: Michael Anthony/David Lee Roth/Alex Van Halen/Eddie Van Halen
Album: Fair Warning

(Lyrics removed per copyright rules)

(Spoken part:
Take a look at this
Hey, man, that suit is you!
You'll get some leg tonight for sure
Tell us how you do it
Come on Dave, give me a break.
Hey, hey, hey, one break coming up!!
)
Note that this song has no connection to the timeless love song, "Unchained Melody."
