    Van Halen’s “Jump” - The Dark Story Behind the Rock Anthem

    Van Halen’s “Jump” sounds like one of the brightest, most uplifting songs of the 1980s, but its lyrics began with a far darker image. In this episode of The 80s Bunch, Scott Barrett explores the true story behind Van Halen’s only number-one hit, from Eddie Van Halen’s rejected keyboard riff and Ted Templeman’s resistance to David Lee Roth’s unexpected inspiration for the chorus, and how it helps reveal the song’s deeper meaning about fear, rejection, confidence, and taking a chance. This is the hidden story behind “Jump,” the album 1984, David Lee Roth, Eddie Van Halen, the synthesizer controversy, and one of the most unforgettable rock songs of the 1980s.
