Van Halen, “She’s The Woman,” from “The Zero Demos a.k.a. The Gene Simmons Tapes,” 1976.

Nerdery ahoy! This New Yorker post mentions a “new” Van Halen song maybe quoting an old Yes song. You can hear that this, a 1976 recording of “She’s A Woman,” does not include any quotes from “Roundabout.” But this video of Thursday’s Cafe Wha? show captures Eddie quoting Yes at about 8:50. You can hear the original riff at 6:16 in this live video. And why, yes, I am kind of embarrassed I went to all this trouble, but hey I can sleep easy now.
