Dancing in the streets. When I first heard the Van Halen version, I didn't know it was a cover.

Most all of Diver Down is cover tunes or recorded tracks from earlier years. There are only two, maybe three new Van Halen songs on that album.

Where Have All the Good Times Gone - (The Kinks)
(Oh) Pretty woman (Roy Orbison)
Happy Trails - (Roy Rogers And Dale Evans)
Big Bad Bill (Is Sweet William Now) - (Dolly Kay)
