    I was in grade 8 when this song came out. I loved it. I waited for hours with my finger on the record button to get the cleanest start and finish from the radio. I made the best tapes, made the custom paper insert with art on the front, and track list on the back. So much fun, we had to put in work to hear our favourite songs lol

      It was the banger of bangers in its time. I know every click and pop and weird interlude somehow. Suspect I still have the vinyl single tucked away somewhere. I even make weird mouth shapes at the end to match the wowee wow war sounds and I like doing it still. Sue me.

      If you think about music after the mid-80s as a whole scale, back in then, this was really an exceptional song, and the real trendsetter. Without this, the music of the 90s might have sounded very different.

      Same here! August 2023, and this song hits as hard as when it first came out - and just like any of the other acts from the 80s, they have their own sound - no one else sounds like them, which just made the song even more memorable. Here's to the 80s - quite possibly the greatest decade of music we're likely to encounter, especially at our age!

My friends were hip hop heads and were giving me shit. Later on in highschool I met cool friends who didn't judge me or my taste in music and would be a club kid for 10 years.

    Dancing to the beat and worrying about nuclear war - sums up the 80s pretty well.

    Way back when, when personal computers were a relatively new thing, people did demos that showed off the graphic and sound capability of your computer. The best demo for the Atari used Pump Up the Jam for the music. I watched it a lot. ;)

    This opened the door to dance music when this got to number One in 1987. ( I think l am right in saying this , but l don't remember reading or hearing anyone else noting this.)

      ROFL! You’re OLD? Our music was the 60s/70s (and way better btw). And I am not old yet! Don’t plan to get that way for a long time. You’re only old if you think you are, kiddies.
