Jump Around – House of Pain
I was going to
go with some old school trance with this one. I had visions of my favorite
songs from back in day that we all used to bust a groove to at some random
nightclub. I then had a thought…
I recently
went to a wedding of one of my best friends and her DJ played some awesome
cheesy music that even the most hardcore of us couldn't help but to bounce around
the floor and look super un-coordinated. This is what dancing should be for at
the end of the day, you and your friends should have a laugh at the stupid Pulp
Fiction eye swipe & seriously if you not dancing to the Grease Medley &
very loudly singing at a wedding; you have not had enough red wine!!
For the
purposes of music making you shake you booty I have added a sub category to
this… Makes you smile whilst shaking your booty! For this you require “House of
Pain”
Who doesn't know this? Who doesn't know at least one lyric and mumble madly through the
rest of it?
It is a great
song and I personally think it should take the place of the “Locomotion” as a
wedding classic J
- Initially this song samples Bob and Earl's
"Harlem Shuffle,"
then later on it borrows elements from a number of other tracks including
"Tramp" by Lowell Fulsome, "Get Off" by Prince and
"You're No Good" by Harvey Arverne.
- Amy Winehouse borrowed the bass line from
"Jump Around" for her 2007 single "You Know I'm No Good."
- This song is frequently used for commercials
and to gee up crowds at sporting events.
- This was featured in the 1993 film Mrs.
Doubtfire. It's also been used in Happy Gilmore and Black Hawk
Down.
- House Of Pain were a Hip-Hop group formed in
Los Angeles by Erik "Everlast" Schrody, "Danny Boy"
O'Connor and Leor "DJ Lethal." This song is what House Of Pain is
best known for, however after they spilt in 1996 Everlast enjoyed some solo
success (including the hit "What It's Like") and
DJ Lethal similarly as a member of the band Limp Bizkit.
- This song is used on the TV show My Name
is Earl, in which a stripper named Catalina dances to it by jumping up and
down.
If you
would like to buy this track I would recommend the full album:
