#9

Well, it's back to my favorite rock band ever with their most popular hit. It's the song that propelled them to superstar status in the mainstream in 1984 just before they decided to get rid of their lead singer. The band was formed in Pasadena, CA, in 1972 and discovered by Kiss' Gene Simmons who originally wanted the band to be called Daddy Long Legs. Thank goodness that didn't happen and thank goodness for this song which was the band's only #1 single and can still be heard to this day at various basketball arenas around the country before a jump ball. Here's the very limber and flexible Diamond Dave, bassist Michael Anthony, and the Van Halen brothers.
