When we heard "Dance the Night Away" in Ben Affleck's new movie Argo, today's oldie-but-goodie video was a lock. The film is about the hostage crisis in Iran in 1979 -- the year Van Halen released their second album, Van Halen II, and the song became the band's first hit single. Lots of other cool songs from the '70s by Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones and Dire Straights are also in the film and there's a soundtrack album out now, but it's just the original score by Alexandre Desplat. P.S. The movie's great, too.
