Right off the top of my head (and also in my iTunes) I got: Jump- Van Halen Jump- Kriss Kross Jumper- Third Eye Blind Jump For My Love- The Pointer Sisters Jump Around- House of Pain I’d like to fill a whole CD with “jump” songs. What other songs can I put on it? ---

“Jumpin’ Jack Flash” is a good one. Does the word have to appear in the title? “Shout!” contains the line “Jump up and shout now” (there’s a Beatles version in which people make claim to an obscene Mondegreen in the line), and “I Am the Walrus” has a background chorus chanting “Umpa-lumpa, Stick it up yer Jumpa.” ---

Here are some songs in my collection that haven’t yet been mentioned, some of these might be a stretch for the theme however… Frank Blank “Jumpin’ Beans” Guided by Voices “Watch Me Jumpstart” and “Maxwell Jump” The Olivia Tremor Control “Jumping Fences” King Missile - “The Boy Who Ate Lasagna and Could Jump over a Church” > [@silenus](#): > > “Did She Jump or Was She Pushed?” - Richard Thompson A great song, but I feel compelled to note that Linda sings it and was credited as a co-writer. ---

Does the word have to be “jump” or can synonyms like “hop” be used? That would let you add songs like: “Cretin Hop” by the Ramones “At the Hop” by Danny & the Juniors And so on. ---
