Perpetuated by a very successful music video, it became a concert staple that continued throughout Hagar's tours as a member of Van Halen . The song is a reference to the National Maximum Speed Law in the United States, that originally set speed limits at 55 miles per hour (89 km / h). </P> <P> It is the 100th song on VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Songs . </P>
