No, I take that back. I love every song on the album equally...as if they were my children.

Ooooooh, I'm not the only one to have noticed this. When the video for "Jump" first debuted on MTV, that part where DLR adlibs was silent. A product of bad video editing, it just showed him yelling into the camera with no sound coming out of his mouth. Later, they dubbed some vocals in there to make that sequence not seem so awkward. So the "mix" that you're talking about is just the regular "Jump" with some crazy yelling tacked on for about two seconds.
I still swear up and down that I saw a version of The Cars' "You Might Think" video where at the end, instead of pulling off his face and a waterfall coming out of his head with the rest of the band rafting out on a bar of soap, Ric Ocasek just put his hand back down and lipsynched half-heartedly the rest of the song before just giving up and smiling as the music played out. RAW VIDEOS!

I really miss this band (i.e. Van Halen with DLR as a going concern).

I'm not a big fan of it though. I'm with the John D ("Panama" & "Hot For Teacher," fuck the rest) crew.

Just dug out my cassette (remember those?) of 1984 and woke the infant with a rousing airing of "I'll Wait,"
Um... "woke the infant" isn't a euphemism, is it?

Aahahahahahahaha...this is very true. I stand corrrected. They are, after all, LA to the BONE.
Is it me or does DLR's cadence on "I'll Wait" remind anyone of Anthony Kiedis?

All I've listened to today is Van Halen; on my second run-through of the DLR6 and nearly ready to start my third. They are just owning my ass. So good.
The little "ooh" right before the first verse in "Hot For Teacher" is perfect. Dave's little exhortations are the key to enlightenment.

Just learned recently that the cover of Fair Warning is actually only a tiny portion of a larger painting:

Hmm, yeah, parts of it anyway. The upper left part of the Fair Warning sleeve doesn't match that portion of the painting. Still very cool though.

I picked up a vinyl 1984 last weekend with an upside down back cover. Just glanced at discogs, doesn't appear to be a common error (unlike Workingman's Dead). Not valuable or anything at least.
