Diamond Dave is a single by the American indie/pop music duo the Bird and the Bee from their 2009 album Ray Guns Are Not Just the Future.

The song explores the narrator's school girl crush on the lead singer of Van Halen, David Lee Roth, also known as Diamond Dave.

Music video

The music video was directed by Inara George's husband, Jake Kasdan. The director of photography was Brian Burgoyne. The video shows the duo holding casting auditions for "Diamond Dave". The actors auditioning for the role include Eric Wareheim, Simon Helberg and Ken Jeong. Near the end, as George dates Jeong, she walks up to a top hat that a David Lee Roth impersonator left to her. When she picks up the hat, a note under the hat reads “David Lee Roth 2008 Hell Yeah! Nothin’ But Yeah!”
