Was Technotronic "Pump Up The Jam" dope or corny to you growing, old heads?

[theworldismine13]

This was a house/dance song that crossed over into top 40 land and got overplayed

So it's not like this was competing with rakim or something

 

[TheMailMan]

[2 Up 2 Down]

I liked it and used to dance to it as a kid

 

[Ku$h Parker]

Yall seriously didnt enjoy skating / dancing / whatever with background music like this?

-Nah, if the shyt came on it just came on. The background music we vibed to was funk music.

it was cool, just got sick of hearing it. think 'this is how we do it'

I’m so happy to find someone else who’s tired of this is how we do it. That song ruined my spring/summer when it came out. You couldn’t escape it and I skip it on Spotify.

 

[WonderCheeks]

Honestly it’s a song that has been a part of my life. I hooped so it was always playing pre game. Whenever I hear it it brings me back.

I hated it as a tween/teen because of cheer competitions. The white schools would wear it out. As an adult I embarrass the kids in my family by cranking it up and getting down.

I’m embracing my “cringe old lady” era.

great

I was just telling this young girl the same shyt about "mambo number 5"

nobody was checking for "pump up the jam" live ... it was made for arenas and sports shyt/ electronic techno clubs

you only heard it in a setting where it made sense, there's alot of music from 90s that was tailormade for one reason

macarena was the same shyt ... I didnt expect kids in school to be doing that shyt in the hallway or in the mall
its some shyt you could get your parents to embarrass themselves to or play at a wedding

I grew up thinking the rapper was some Puerto Rican dude...turns out it's a she and she's Belgian Congolese

I never knew this wasn't even meant for the US market, was supposed to be for Belgium, Netherlands and Luxemburg clubs.



Ya Kid K still sounds exactly the same, it's amazing

Never liked it much as a kid but hard to escalpe. It was in commercials, all over radio, and especially sporting events. Hard to hate but I was never a big Hous emusic fan and it was mixed with that early cat-in-the-hat rap style.

reminds me of Turtle Power


Just glad Ya Kid K ended rumors she was gay (I thought it was a dude or lesbo as a kid). I cannot ifnd the full video but I remember seeing it and I think she was even married while performing. I'm unsure if her disspelling gay rumors had any affect on her success

What’s wrong with the Macarena?

I never said the song was popular like the Macarena or Gangnam style but it was a likable corny song. Think those songs if they never got as popular. My comment also wasn’t a comment about the genre of the song.
