Tonight’s featured artist’s one and only number one single had an ironic twist for one of its band members.  Can you guess the song or the band?

Let’s start with the irony, Eddie Van Halen has always been known for his gymnastic stage performances, and it was the years of jumping around on stage that took it's toll on Eddie leading to a hip-replacement surgery in 1999. His only number one hit?  You guessed it ‘Jump’. According to Songfacts:  As early as 1981, Eddie Van Halen had written the keyboard part that would eventually become this song. David Lee Roth didn't like the idea of Eddie playing keyboards, and it wasn't until Eddie had built his own recording studio (5150) that he recorded the song with Ted Templeman during a late night recording session. When hearing the song, the band decided to include it on the 1984 album - something that is rumored to have contributed to Roth's departure a year later.
