Came here to say some obscure song for the sake if it, but can't top this excellent and correct answer.

Unfortunately Jump
They laughed at their gods
And fought them in vain
So he turned his
back on them
And left them in pain

After Jump, it's Hot For Teacher and Panama.

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
Drums aside, Panama is WAY more famous than Hot for Teacher. In fact, I'd almost say that Panama gives Jump a run for it's money in the fame department.
Had it been twenty years ago, Right Now might have been in consideration, but like most Sammy material, it just hasn't stood the test of time with the general public.
Think about it this way, if you're seeing a cover band, are they playing Jump, or are the playing Panama? Chances are, they're playing Panama. (helps to not need a keyboard player)

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
I'd be inclined to agree with this. Whenever our local station plays a VH song it us almost always Panama..then probably Running with the Devil.Anthrax442 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 8:14 amDrums aside, Panama is WAY more famous than Hot for Teacher.

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
Apparently so considering some of the serious responses so far. Someone honestly said Right Now! Maybe Right Now is some sort of unofficial anthem in Belarus.....

The interesting thing about Right Now is that it wasn't a top 40 hit on the Pop charts. Can't Stop Lovin' You charted higher.

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
The correct answer is “Jump”, but since Eddie soloed on “Beat It”, as alluded to above, that is also a correct response. I’d put “Hot For Teacher” in about third.

Not even close! Jump was a number one single and did well internationally.Love_Industry wrote: ↑Wed Oct 30, 2024 4:08 am Hate to say it as a Rothtard but it may be Right Now.

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
What amazes me most is this thread is 20+ posts in and no one has yet said, “I’m sure Sammy would claim it’s one of his VH songs!”
I’m a fan of Van Hagar and I get that the correct answer is Jump but this seems like low hanging fruit here.

Re: What is the most famous Van Halen song ?
Because there's nothing that stands out. "Right Now" is the most anthemic, but like others have said it wasn't a big hit on the charts. The video had more momentum.
