Jump, from the album '1984' by Van Halen, with a vocal performance from David Lee Roth.
Their best selling single, and made it to #1 in the USA.
It is a rare Van Halen song in that the lead line is from a synthesiser rather than Eddie Van Halen's guitar.
I remember going to a christening in an upstairs room in a pub in my home village near Rotherham.
There was an uneven wooden floor to the room, and the DJ decided to play this song. Of course, every time the lyrics said 'Jump' we all did, and the record skipped on about 30 seconds. The whole song was over in less than a minute and the DJ wasn't impressed.
"We did it very quickly. Seriously, I think that we probably spent more money on pizza delivery than we did on the video itself."
