Jump by Van Halen - The Video
Did you know that 24 years ago (!!) that Van Halen had the number one song in the America with Jump. While revealing that fact might make me feel old, hearing the song changes all of that. I feel that I could dance with Diamond Dave and the guys on this all-time classic. I would say that Jump is one of the greatest pop songs of all-time and that Panama (the next track on Van Halen’s 1984) is one of the greatest rock songs of all-time. Talk about diversity.
Dave always said they spent more money on the after-party then on the video for Jump and perhaps that is why the video is so cool. Call me crazy, but I always thought that the dust on Eddie’s keyboard was so cool. I don’t know why, but looking like that keyboard had just been pulled out storage seemed very cool to me. You can check out the dust at the 2:39 mark of the song. Yep, I’m crazy.
