• Lavender Sweatpants from Soux-wing Mäßiin"Piper from San Francisco..."
  
  I just wanted to say that: "you're the only one that's lame!"
  
  ...for mentioning race by-the-way.
  
  And I say this as a whole entire pair of REALLY...COMFY... sweatpants...
  
  attached to a whole entire BLACK LADY...
  
  sitting atop a WHOLE...ENTIRE toilet seat...
  
  while typing MY message...out to you!
  
  The whole, entire Black lady typing this, even agrees with me Piper!
  
  
  
  -Sincerely,
  
  Sweat T. Pants!
  
  
  
  P.S. Other than having a cool name (Piper), and other than the fact that San Francisco probably has some cool eateries and waterfront views (IDK), um, I agree with my sweatpants, Piper, that you probably ARE lame, but, I mean, I'm typing messages for sweatpants, so there's that! -Miss Sweatpants Whisperer, Black Lady Random Person...typing this!
  
  
  P.P.S. (or whatever) Um, I used to dig all three songs ("Jump Around," "Insane in the Membrane," and "[Kris Kross'] Jump")!!! Enjoyer them immensely, and had no idea the connection between all three!!! That said, as soon as I read Cypress Hill, or whatever the mention was, I IMMEDIATELY realized the similarities to both of the dude from both groups' hits! I LIKELY played Kriss Kross' Jump and H.O.P.'s "Jump Around," together on playlists back when I'd online music playlists!
  
  ...Not that anyone made inquiry... asked...or cared!
  
  My sweatpants look good, though, so, you know, there's that and what have you! -Miss Sweatpants Whisperer, Black Lady Random Person...typing this!
  
  
  LOL!!!
• Moosehead from ScLove catlina and love earl. Still watch at least one episode per week.
• Em from Not Saying For Personal ReasonsThe high pitch sound couldn’t have been from Prince’s scream as it was released earlier than the scream.
• Piper from San Franciscohouse of pain, more like ears of pain, fake white irish boys getting on the early 90s band wagon, no wonder it didn't work
• Walt from WisconsinEvery Friday at 5:00 our local radio station, WIXX, kicks off the weekend by playing Jump Around. What better way to start the weekend? My daughters and I dance around, raise the roof, and so on. My ex wife is use to just sit there frowning. No wonder it didn't work.
• Eric from Somerset NjAccording to group member Everlast, the iconic scream in "Jump Around" was sampled from Jr Walker and the All-Stars "Shoot Your Shot" and not Prince. In a May 2016 article in Newsweek, in response to a tweet by Questlove, he wrote "btw there is absolutely no prince sample in jump around. Way off. It's a horn FYI." Reverse-audio engineering also appears to confirm the same. Either way, it's a dope classic hip-hop that is timeless.
• D. from Dallas, Tx@roy...that's the sample of Prince's scream at the start of Gett Off.
• Melissa from The Acerage, Flthis song is the best. i love old music. this is from when rap was actually good. now its all just real deragatory towards the non taget audience but hip-hop is still good. aside from the fact that its all about sex and every other word has to be bleeped out on the radio
• Roy from Granbania, MaWhat is that high-pitched screech that's played throughout the song in the background? It makes me laugh every time I hear it, and I imitate it whenever I hear someone beatboxing, but I never knew what made that sound?
• Joshua from La Crosse, WiThis song is a regular fixture at University of Wisconsin home football games. It is played over the Camp Randall PA system in between the third and fourth quarters, during which the fans and marching band get up and start jumping up and down like maniacs.
• Not Tellin' from Jersey City, NjThis song is used in Angels Stadium when the Rally Monkey appears when the Angels are trailing in the late innings. The monkey is seen on the video screen, holding up a sign that says "RALLY TIME!"
• Kyle from Anna, OhFunny story about this song...In 1984 Van Halen released their hit album 1984. The first single off of that album was the song Jump. The B-side to that single was a now relatively unknown song, House of Pain. Eight years later, a band named House of Pain made a hit single called Jump Around. Kind of interesting.
• Bertrand from Paris, FranceFor a brief period of time it looked like a blend of edgy rock and hip hop was workable. "Jump Around" is incredibly infectious or annoying depending on your tolerance for the incessant siren that accompanies the pounding beats. Unfortunately, House Of Pain never did recapture these moments of greatness.
• Mark from London, EnglandEverlast has had an on-off spat with Eminem over the years.
