Diver Down is the fifth studio album by hard rock band Van Halen released in 1982. It spent 65 weeks on the album chart in the United States and had, by 1998, sold four million copies in the US.Five of the twelve songs on the album are covers, the most popular being the cover of "(Oh) Pretty Woman"a Roy Orbison song . At the time, the record company thought it had a greater chance of a hit record if the album comprised songs that were already successful. In retrospect, it turned out to be one of the Van Halen brothers' least-favorite albums, with Eddie stating "I'd rather have a bomb with one of my own songs than a hit with someone else's."
