Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of hard rock's premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.
He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.
He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.
Hagar is currently in a band called "Chickenfoot" with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim
Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?
Seems that Chickenfoot is on a hiatus as Joe Satriani has gone back to solo and CF has yet to follow up with a new LP.
Baby's On Fire
Sammy Hagar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never thought gettin' burned could be so much fun
Always comin' up with something new
Yea, that woman taught me a thing or two
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Bypass the city head straight for the sticks
Shut off the lights
Turn off the key
No sooner set the brake she jumps on top of me
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Now let it burn
Oh yeah
I like it hot
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
No time for friends, no time for rest
Straight home from school, she starts to get undressed
It's five below but it's hot down here
I get so hot every time she comes near
Turned on to love like it's the latest style
I get a response from just a look with a smile
She's like a bomb that's about to explode
Just on touch and she begins to unload
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She takes me higher
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
She's on fire
My baby's on fire
Oh, now let it burn

The imagery of fire and heat is used throughout the song to connote passion and intensity. The use of fire as a metaphor for the lover's passion is significant because fire is both dangerous and all-consuming; suggesting that the artist's lover is both desirable and potentially destructive. The artist emphasizes the intensity of the passion between him and his lover when he sings "No sooner set the brake she jumps on top of me." The lyrics portray a relationship that is irresistible and overpowering, with the artist unable to resist the advances of his lover.
The song's title and chorus, "She's on fire, my baby's on fire," emphasizes the idea of passion and desire. The artist describes how his lover's passion fuels his own, "She takes me higher, my baby's on fire." The lyrics suggest that the artist feels like he is living on the edge, "Never thought gettin' burned could be so much fun," implying that the relationship is exciting, but also dangerous. The song's bridge, "Turned on to love like it's the latest style, I get a response from just a look with a smile," suggests that the artist is addicted to his lover and is constantly seeking her approval. The repetition of the phrase "she's on fire" at the end of the song emphasizes the passionate nature of their relationship.
