Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (Official Video) Reaction

[@tanyamonk1280]

Yeah, 1989, techno club hit. Everytime this song came on, we were out on the dance floor. Even those of us who couldn't dance to save our lives, lol. Great memories

[@yeahboiii6640]

Yeah great times!!!!

[@prd1073]

I was 21 in 1989, and I was just the same. Used to play it on my Walkman and find it hard not to "pump it up" while walking down the street. Pump it up a lil more!

[@frankrizzo4460]

Yeah same here such a big club song. Everybody was on the dance floor when this came on. Man great times back then 🤔🤗

I was dancing to this song when you were just twinkle in your fathers eye

[@daviehudson4270]

I remember this from an all-nighter in Glasgow 89, this went on at 6am and took the roof off the place

[@trevortamboline279]

This was a HUGE club song! When I had my mobile deejay business back in the early '90s, this was a staple I played that never failed to pack the dance floor.

[@winnied87]

It's viral for decades now

Another song like this is Black Box “ride on time”

Now do Pump Up The Volume by MARRS. It’s classic 80’s dance music

[@peterpeter2699]

Yes great tune and Clouds across the Moon Rah Band

[@the-bhbtco.8763]

Yes, please do MARRS next!

[@onsesejoo2605]

Just for fun, please listen Deee - Lite song "Good Beat" the original version. It takes the elements from this MARRS song that you can hear clearly, yet it is different. :)

[@kimberlinibambini1988]

Yessss!

[@janahcoaching]

It's actually a very 90s Sound.

[@apoch003]

"Groove is in the heart", "Things that make you go hmmm", "Vogue".... try a couple of these.

Definitely "Groove is in the Heart" by Deee-Lite

[@dipsydoodle7988]

Yes, yes and yes.

''groove is in the heart'' for sure! Has Bootsy Collins in it . ''Electric avenue'' eddie grant i think...''The message'' another great song.

[@melp.1942]

These songs are what kind of transitioned the 80s into the 90s in music. So fun and gets you dancing every time!

[@tomknoll796]

The late 80's/early 90s club sound...my friends and I lived for the weekends dancing to all these songs. We used to regularly go out with about 10-20 of us guys and take over clubs dancing. Fridays were designated as all-out dancing, so we literally had on high-tops, shorts and t-shirts and would be sweating up a storm. Saturdays were still about dancing, but it also focused a bit more on the ladies, so we'd be wearing our Girbaud pants, collared, short-sleeved shirts and wing-tip shoes...these were crazy times. Here is just a few of the songs that, when you heard the first few beats there would be a bum-rush to the dance floor: The Sugarhill Gang “Rapper’s Delight”, Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five “The Message”, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock “It Takes Two”, Soul II Soul “Back to Life’”, De La Soul “Me, Myself and I”, Young MC “Bus A Move”, C+C Music Factory “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)”, Deee-Lite “Groove is in the Heart”, Snap! “The Power”.

[@gaylelucas6295]

Coming out the clubs with steam coming out your head , yes thems were the days

[@daniellefrechette900]

One day, Jayvaun you should do a club night of non stop dancing music on a zoom venue or something. I'd pay ticket entry to hang out and dance with this here Jayvetv crowd...

[@sharonpreston4925]

Yes, yes and HELL YES!!! All of the above!! We definitely lived for the weekend.( which is actually another good song to check out "Living For The Weekend" and Just Got Paid.

[@bearballin]

Yo Jay, what you're hearing in TECHNOTRONIC (techno/electronic) is best described as the fusion of rap, house, disco trance dance music! Pump Up the Jam gets the party started, working up a sweat. In this video however the actual lead singer, MC Ya Kid K, is not featured. The women you see was a backup dancer they used because Ya Kid K was the first androgynous rapper. She looked too much like a little boy dressed in her "hood drag". So the record company pushed this video until there was push back from music fans, denying her gender identity even though many music artists were doing that very thing in the 80s. Here's a link to a live performance feat Ya Kid K kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6atcpyQqLJqh68

[@lawrencekelli]

Wow..I'll have to see that..so I'm watching. Thanks for the info..it;s great learning so much more about song you love.

[@CaptainEO27]

@@lawrencekelli check out the song she did for the soundtrack to the turtles movie. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqW1iqaBeMmdeNU

[@eklektikTechno]

Randall it’s actually Belgian 🇧🇪 New Beat which is a heavy influence of early pioneering Chicago House and Detroit Techno, the bass line is a sample of Farley’s Jackmaster Funks Acid Life, it’s Disco influences Is more so embedded in House not direct.Trance as we know it didn’t really start to surface until 93 95 or so with Jam And Spoon & Talla2xlc

[@eklektikTechno]

@ZeUs Belgian New Beat more like Fax Your Self “ walking on sunshine would be closer to 89 90, though Torsten Fenslau did later cash in on the whole Euro Dance craze with Culture Beat right before the hard Techno rave explosion started

[@AndreVlaamsValle]

Ya Kid K was minor then and couldn't be featured in the video so they used that backup singer to mime. I always knew in the moment I watched that that big black girl had nothing to do with Ya Kid's tomboy voice and style

[@tammyy155]

I feel like this song kick started the 90s with those dance moves and outfits

[@davefeeback7265]

Next reactions should be bel biv devoe " Poison" and Keith Sweat "make you sweat"

KLF are a house music group worth checking, "what time is love" justified and ancient" (with country legend Tammy Wynette on vocals) " or "last train to transcentral" KLF are also infamous for setting fire to a million pounds as an artistic project and political statement, they destroyed an actual million pounds !!

Check their other hits "This beat is Technotronic" kzbin.info/www/bejne/aIbJoGSlbZekorM and "Get up" kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2fbdZyGqserjLc my all time favorite of theirs.

It was featured on the soundtrack for the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film in 1990. I really loved this era of music. Snap and Blackbox were two other groups that made some great music.

They tried to kill us with this song in Aerobics, TaeBo and spin cycling by playing this song for maximum effort. It’s a double-time dance step that has a distinctive Euro-tech-pop club hit.
