Amsterdam è un singolo del gruppo musicale statunitense Van Halen, pubblicato nel 1995 ed estratto dall'album Balance.

Il brano

La canzone è basata sull'impressione turistica del cantante Sammy Hagar riguardo Amsterdam, la capitale dei Paesi Bassi, la terra natia dei fratelli Eddie e Alex van Halen. I due tuttavia non hanno mai gradito il testo del brano, in quanto secondo loro metteva in cattiva luce il loro paese d'origine.[1] In particolare, Eddie ha spiegato di odiare le parole del ritornello e gli espliciti riferimenti al fumo.[2]

Video musicale

Il videoclip del brano venne girato ad Amsterdam, dove i Van Halen si trovavano per promuove Balance nel gennaio 1995,[3] e distribuito nell'aprile 1995. MTV si rifiutò di trasmettere il video a causa dei riferimenti espliciti alla marijuana.[4]
