RADIO 3FM 09.04-11.30 Gouden uren
Dutch radioshow with a playlist of 31 songs featuring Van Halen's Jump at #19.

| This was the first single from 1984 and the band's first #1 hit! The song was recorded on an Oberheim OBX-A keyboard and really introduced the world to Van Halen's keyboard-based songwriting. Sharp-eared listeners will note that the main riff from Top of the World (from F.U.C.K.) was written around the ending riff from Jump. Jump was certified Gold on 4/03/84 and remained at the top of the charts for five weeks. |

Van Halen soundclip in Back to the Future.
This Van Halen soundclip, which originally appeared in the 1984 film The Wild Life, appears in Back to the Future when Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) travels back to 1955, and pays a visit to his sleeping father (Crispin Glover). McFly, wearing a radiation suit, pulls out a cassette tape labeled Edward Van Halen, places it into a Sony Walkman, straps the headphones onto the unknowing ears of his science fiction-loving Dad and cranks it up! (USA 1985 - 116M)
