For Sunday: Van Halen (and David Lee Roth) want you to "Jump"

 

If I were in a more pompous mood, I would tell you that this song is actually a chaconne, with a varied melody over a repeated series of chords.

 

 

But I’m less pompous than I used to be, and frankly, I just like watching David Lee Roth leaping around and mugging for the camera.

 

 

Enjoy.
