Roy Orbison first recorded this in 1964. The promo clip from this song was the first concept video Van Halen made. With MTV launching on August 1, 1981 and desperate for new rock videos, the network convinced the band's label to make a clip for "Unchained." The band had no interest in videos, but when the producer Robert Lombard put together concert footage to make the "Unchained" clip, the band loved the results and had Lombard to the video for "(Oh) Pretty Woman," which is a tawdry affair.
Van Halen recorded this after completing their 1981 "Invasion" tour. They put it out as a single a few months before the album was released.
