that would be like asking a mother to choose between her twins

this beat is technotronic!

Rocking Rolling Rolling Rocking Rolling Rolling Rock!!!

"Pump Up The Jam" has a beautiful bit towards the end where she's singing something like "And only for you" as it goes into the fade. I spent a lot of jukebox money playing this record just to hear that last minute.

Get Up!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Nobody would have cared about "Move This" if not for the Revlon ads.

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

nawwww, "move this" wins revlon or not

Gonna make you sweat.

Isn't it REALLY all about "This Beat Is Technotronic"?

Pump up the jam, of couse

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 19:13 (twenty-one years ago)

pump up the jam. also noteable is hi-tek 3's 'spin that wheel', m/a/r/r/s's 'pump up the volume' and s-express's 'theme from s-express'

― chris andrews (fraew), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:05 (twenty-one years ago)

HAHA I have been trying to download "Spin That Wheel" since my first post to this thread!

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Hi-tek 3 know what's up/the hip and the hop so turn it up

― Siegbran (eofor), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:12 (twenty-one years ago)

move this hands down!!

― cindy crawford (ken taylrr), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

"Pump Up the Jam" ownz.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:15 (twenty-one years ago)

"Pump Up the Jam" wins for Felly dancing.

But "Show Me How to Dance" beats them all.

― Joseph McCombs, Wednesday, 12 May 2004 20:19 (twenty-one years ago)

"Pump Up The Jam" is the better of the two, but donut bitch OTM that the secret winner is "Get Up!".

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 12 May 2004 23:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Get Up is the best early 90s dance single. Ever. Face it. Songs with counting and rhyming are always great (viz. NKOTB's Step By Step and Nivea's Don't Mess With The Radio).

I don't even think I know how "Move This" goes.

sixteen years pass...

people don't you know
don't you know it's about time

― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Monday, 28 September 2020 17:15 (five years ago)

my Tae Kwon Do master used to sing this song in class, but he always got the lyrics wrong, singing "twist that body"

― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Monday, 28 September 2020 17:16 (five years ago)

challop: neither is good

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 17:19 (five years ago)

O_O

― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Monday, 28 September 2020 17:23 (five years ago)

is that crazy frog?

because i was just thinking that if either of these are "good", they are "good" in the same sense that crazy frog is "good"

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 17:25 (five years ago)

tlg do you like black box?

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 18:46 (five years ago)

so much better than technotronic

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:49 (five years ago)

i just don't like jock jams, "everybody everybody" is a jam but not a jock jam even though it was on jock jams vol 2

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:51 (five years ago)

oh you know what this is not the song i was thinking of

"pump up the jam" is fine, i had it confused with "gonna make you sweat"

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:53 (five years ago)

how do you feel about ya kid k though

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 18:53 (five years ago)

"move this" is legitimately terrible

but "pump up the jam" is more or less adjacent to "voodoo ray" if you take out the ya kid k

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:54 (five years ago)

i'm agnostic on ya kid k i just used deskee on a mix so i'm not allergic to hip house but ya kid k is objectively kinda bad

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:55 (five years ago)

i might be more into sporting events if they played more voodoo ray

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 18:58 (five years ago)

i found this kwaito-ish version of PUTJ a few months back, pretty good i think:

oh damn

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:07 (five years ago)

except i'll be kind of heartbroken if the original is "get your boogie on the dancefloor" instead of "get your booty on the dancefloor"

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:08 (five years ago)

Sport events are great, healthy for the body if smashing in the top bins from outside the box, and healthy for the soul if eviscerating the keg as Rhyl Lads crush Prestatyn Informants 5-0 yes mates

― saer, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:08 (five years ago)

*but ya kid k is objectively kinda bad*

fighting words yet again, tlg
(or is it joeks, bruv again?)

nah i'm just not crazy abt ya kid k, just sounds kinda corny tbh

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:16 (five years ago)

the beat is fine

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:16 (five years ago)

sounds more relaxed on this

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:17 (five years ago)

i'm not actively anti ya kid k or anything i'm just saying if there's a 12" dub YSI?

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:19 (five years ago)

imo "spin that wheel" is superior to "pump up the jam"
in every way

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:20 (five years ago)

PUTJ legit better than any classic rock

― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:23 (five years ago)

Will not bother to defend Move This though. i remember it being one of the worst things on the LP, which I haven't had since 1991 when Russell M borrowed the tape from me and then said it fell in a canal, I know you were lying Russell.

― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:28 (five years ago)

take that back putj is no way better than creedencr

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:31 (five years ago)

or grand funk

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:31 (five years ago)

I would rather listen to PUTJ than entire discography of either of those bands, yes

― 好 now 烧烤 (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:33 (five years ago)

wow getting spicy up in here the jam is being pumped up

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:36 (five years ago)

this line is objectively non-corny "see cuz that's where the party's at / and you'll find out if you do that"

― Give me a Chad Smith-type feel (map), Monday, 28 September 2020 19:39 (five years ago)

maybe you just haven't heard grand funk railroad the way it was meant to be heard, booming out of the big speakers ina grubby pitch black warehouse lit only by a strobe light and dank from the sweaty panting of working class youth on drugs

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 19:43 (five years ago)

"Spin That Wheel" is legit

― shout-out to his family (DJP), Monday, 28 September 2020 20:51 (five years ago)

sorry poptimists underground is always better

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 21:32 (five years ago)

and that got to 21 in the uk chart so it's not even really underground

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 21:32 (five years ago)

― Regard the timeless piano balladeeress! (breastcrawl), Monday, 28 September 2020 21:41 (five years ago)

ha!

PUMP UP THE VOLUME /V/S/ PUMP UP THE JAM

^^^ this thread was great ^^^

― dyl, Monday, 28 September 2020 21:47 (five years ago)

not to be confused with pumpstamists

This sounds like the worst thing

― the late great, Monday, 28 September 2020 21:47 (five years ago)

Hadn't heard that Wee Papa Girls tune before, but that goes hard!

"Featuring 2 Men And A Drum Machine" aka Dave & Andy from Fine Young Cannibals / the (English) Beat
