Van Halen - Jump (vinyl) [Single]

"Jump!" is a song recorded by the rock group Van Halen. It is the only single the group released in their career to reach #1.


It was released in 1984 as the second track on the hugely popular album 1984. The song breaks the mold of earlier hard rock Van Halen songs, mainly in its use of a rolling synth line, played on an Oberheim OB-X. Eddie claims that his solo on this track is one of his favorite.


Its synthesized brass introduction is one of popular music's most recognizable musical introductions. The song changed the future and style of Van Halen from being a predominantly Hard rock band to one of more radio-oriented popular music.
