Best of Both Worlds and Celebration:)
Don't you think that "BOBW"(from 1986) has very similar riff to Kool and the gang song "Celebration"(from...1980)????
So, Eddie saw this one on mtv and...used???"If it sounds good, it is good" - Eddie Van Halen, 1981
"If you ever speak to me like that again, you better be wearing a cup" - EVH, 1996

Yup, and if you listen to "Black And Blue" it really comes close to "Rock And Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" by AC/DC.
It happens."The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."George Bernard Shaw

And if I recall correctly, in regards to the two mentioned above, Eddie did say those two songs were inspiration to the musical structure of the Van Halen songs.
In and out. I didn't even make that pun on purpose.

I seem to recall at the time of release that some critics were comparing the BOBW riff to "Roundabout" by Yes.
Also, I recently read an article in Mix Magazine with Daryl Hall from "Hall & Oates" in which he claims: "[Eddie] Van Halen told me that he copied the synth part from ‘Kiss on My List’ and used it in ‘Jump.’ I don't have a problem with that at all."
I had never heard that one before! :-) You can read the full article here: http://mixonline.com/mag/audio_hall_...ant/index.html

Like Eddie says, "there's only 12 notes... how you mix them up is up to you."
Homer: No one snuggles with Max Power. Just strap on and feel the Gs!
American Coast Guard: Back off Canadians we got them.
Canadian Coast Guard: You back off hosers, they are in Canadian waters, eh.
American Coast Guard: Beat it you puck smacking maple suckers!
Canadian Coast Guard: Take a hike you Shatner stealing Mexico touchers!
Bart: Who the hell is this?
Jack Bauer: I’m Jack Bauer, who the hell is this?
Bart: Me, er… I’m Ahmed Adudi
Jack: Chloe, get me all you can on Ahmed Adudi… Does anyone there know Ahmed Adudi?
Chloe O’Brien: Ahmed Adudi; wealthy Saudi financier… Disappeared into Afghanistan in the late 90s…
Jack: … Really?
Chloe (ironically): No Jack it’s a joke name, you’re being set up.
Jack: DAMMIT!

Yes, the first time I heard it I thought it was a copy off of Celebration. To this day I still do. Sammy nailed it. But somebody should have helped them change the beginning a bit.
Right here I say....
