You'd think Republicans and Democrats wouldn't be able to agree on much in the way of music. Democrats, judging from performers at the Democratic convention and various rallies, are hip-hop and '60s baby boomer; Republicans are country and light rock.

But one band has produced music to satisfy both sides, notes CNN's David De Sola: Van Halen.

The Kerry campaign used the group's song "Right Now" at the Democratic convention in late July (and continues to use the song at campaign rallies). Tonight, the Republicans trotted out Van Halen's 1984 hit "Jump" to introduce skydiving former President George H.W. Bush.

However, they're still divided on one thing: lead singers. "Right Now" was a Sammy Hagar-sung tune; "Jump" is from the David Lee Roth era.
