About Wannabe in L.A.

"Wannabe in L. A." is the first single from the Eagles of Death Metal's third studio album Heart On. It reached number 38 on the Billboard Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart. Hughes credits inspiration to the song on drummer Joey Castillo: The song also references Alain Johannes and Natasha Shneider when Hughes says 'Alain and Natasha always make me say, I really wanna be in L. A." The music video contains two versions directed by Liam Lynch. The Standard version is the original version and the Pins version uses CGI pins recreating images from the original music video. The song is featured in the video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles which was released seven days before the song was released. It can also be heard in the video games Colin McRae: Dirt 2, MLB 09: The Show, Shaun White Skateboarding, and is a playable selection in Guitar Hero 5. It also appears at the beginning of the film The Perfect Host. more »

I came to L.A. to make rock 'n' roll
Along the way, I had to sell my soul
I made some good friends that make me say
I really wannabe in L.A.

I took the 10 to get to Beverly
Laid some [Incomprehensible]
Allen and Natasha always make me say
I really wannabe in L.A.

I really wannabe in L.A., ohh

I take the city in the dead of night
I'm burning gas until I feel alright
My Sunset honeys always make me say
I really wannabe in L.A.

I came to L.A. to make rock 'n' roll
Along the way I had to sell my soul
I made some good friends that make me say
I really wannabe in L.A., I really wannabe in L.A.
I really wannabe, really wannabe
Really wannabe, really wannabe in L.A.

Eagles of Death Metal

Eagles of Death Metal is an American rock band from Palm Desert, California, formed in 1998 by Jesse Hughes and Josh Homme, who are the only permanent members of the band, though Homme rarely plays live shows because of commitments to other bands.
