BONUS - Jump - Van Halen, 1984
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jump_%28Van_Halen_song%29:
| "Jump" is a song released on December 21, 1983 by the
American
rock group
Van
Halen. It is the only
single the group released in their career to reach number one on the
U.S.
Billboard Hot 100.[1]
It was released in 1984 as the second track on the album
1984. The song breaks the mold of earlier Van Halen songs,
mainly in its rolling
synth line (played on an
Oberheim OB-Xa), although the song contains the standard
Eddie Van Halen
guitar solo, which Eddie claims as his favorite solo he never wrote.
This refers to the fact that the producer spliced parts of two different
takes to create the one heard in the song. "Jump" may be Van Halen's most popular and instantly recognizable composition, perhaps because its sound embodies the key aspects of both of the two genres of popular music most associated with the 1980s in America: synth-driven pop and "arena"-style metal. It was inspired by famed martial artist Benny Urquidez, of whom David Lee Roth was a student. The song changed the future and style of Van Halen from being a predominantly hard rock band to one of more radio-oriented popular music... |

From Jean Poole Burton ('64) of
RI - 05/01/14 - "Do not open email that has an attachment
entitled 'Confidential Document'
":
|
This is malware and they are
phishing for people's account info. I opened it inadvertently and
it resent itself to my entire contact list, so I have spent a good
part of today trying to email everyone on my list. If you opened it
already you need to reset your password and notify your
contacts...sorry if this has inconvenienced you but I did not know
not to open it until the person who "sent" it contacted me that it
was spyware.
If you Google "Confidential
Document attachment" you can read more about it. My
brother Bill, who works at the University of TX in
Arlington, tells me that they have been instructed not to open
any attachments for the time being.
Thanks, Jean Burton
YIKES! Thanks, Jean! 
It's a wise
practice to never open such document attachments! |

Recorded by
Van Halen, 1983
Owwww!
I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real
Ah, can't ya see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Ow-oh! Hey, you! Who said that? Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin
So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?
Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump!
(Guitar Solo)
Might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Get it in, jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!
