For the chaos of the milli vanilli era, where people seemed completely shocked that two dancers from Germany did not magically perform like middle aged American studio musicians
The dancer performing this song is not the real artist, who looked a little too gender non binary for 1989
As per what I’ve read, Ya Kid K opted out of publicity because cause she was involved in some other projects. Had not heard the gender non-binary angle. Infuriating if true.
Ahhh, well that’s actually a nicer story then (I was fully just speculating on my part here, and it makes sense in Technotronic’s case as Ya kid K was prominently featured on their other singles)
I used to believe that my "pump it" days were way past. Then, damned if the pump didn't click on again, albeit at a more relaxed pace, thanks to a wonderful woman. Life can be really surprising, sometimes. Thanks!
I started wearing earplugs to shows I knew were going to be overly loud decades ago. I also wear them on the subway and at the movies (on the rare occasions I see a film at a theater). My hearing is perfect, too, and I'll be 70 this summer.
I was going to quote an episode of Cunk on Earth for that, something like "A technological and cultural achievement that wouldn't be matched until the release of unrelated Belgian techno-anthem Pump up the Jam."
Taylor's been around long enough to know that once you're famous, people are gonna make jokes about you. If she was offended by Koy's very mild crack (which was really about the NFL, anyway), what's gonna happen when people really starting tossing zingers at her?
I don't know what a Jo Koy is, but it seems he's gotten a lot of mileage out of flopping as a host, reinforcing the classic Hollywood adage "There's no such thing as bad publicity".
The Jo Koy pants shitting is bad for lots of reasons, but one of them is there were a bunch of asshole manboys who actually bought Barbie toys and then burned them because WOKE, and instead he goes with HA HA BOOBIES. I mean, fuck that guy.
The plane was almost full but nobody was sitting in the death seat, where the seat back went down the wind. An empty row? Sorry folks but the word "Providence" seems inescapable here. Attitude of Gratitude.
My wife's former neighborhood NDN was full of ' there's a young black person walking down the street.'. She lived 3 blocks from a majority black high school.
Tay-Tay isn't the only one not impressed by Jo Koy. Didn't know who he was before he was announced to host, sorry I know who he is now. Thankfully, there was a good sportsball contest on another channel.
Boeing's CEO, Board, and shareholders are finding out that running the company as a pump 'n dump scheme has consequences. Not that they care, of course.
IANAL and I am listening to the oral arguments at the court of appeals but I'm getting the feeling that the panel isn't buying anything that the Tangerine Toddler's lawyer is arguing. Am I wrong?
It’s Technotronic in your hed gif, yo pump it! https://open.substack.com/pub/martiniambassador/p/pump-it-up?r=angu9&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcome=true

Fun fact about this video in particular:

What I are listening to right now:

Metal!
I know it's a few years old, but I liked it.
You like years old music? How oldz!!
Ah, the besssssst way to start the day. Thanks!!!
Still gets the feets movin' 34 (!!! what?!) years later.
I used to believe that my "pump it" days were way past. Then, damned if the pump didn't click on again, albeit at a more relaxed pace, thanks to a wonderful woman. Life can be really surprising, sometimes. Thanks!
That is so wonderful, Me! I'm very happy for you.
*hugs*
Right back atcha.
More or less.
"If it's too loud, you're too old" now replaced by "if it's too seizure-y, you're too old."
And I'm making fun of myself here. I have trouble with stroboscopic or flashing light effects.
Yes- strobes cause my migraines
Yer birb agrees
I started wearing earplugs to shows I knew were going to be overly loud decades ago. I also wear them on the subway and at the movies (on the rare occasions I see a film at a theater). My hearing is perfect, too, and I'll be 70 this summer.
Congrats. Just turned 67 and after 50 years of playing live music still have perfect hearing too.
For some mysterious reason, Cunk links something in every episode of "Cunk On" series to that clip. It's bizarre and hilarious.
It IS soooo funny. And, even once you realize it's coming, it is STILL funny.
If you rearrange the beats of this song in a perfect circle it’s a scientific formula to pass through solid matter*
*repeating the joke from memory I may have butchered it
Haha yes before Cunk dredged it back up I hadn’t thought of this song since the 90s.
I was going to quote an episode of Cunk on Earth for that, something like "A technological and cultural achievement that wouldn't be matched until the release of unrelated Belgian techno-anthem Pump up the Jam."
I LOVE HER SO MUCH! SHERO!
It's been long-standing practice here not to post flashing images; what's happening?
Thanks for your feedback. The gif has been changed. I hope this helps for you.
In slo-mo, it's just annoying
Great! Thanks.
It helps greatly. Thank you for your sensitivity and thoughtfulness as well as your wit, beauty, and genius.
AOT, Martini!
90s art, dude
??? That's not the point at all.
That video is historic art. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's the flashing that's the problem, not the art.
The flashing IS the art.
Are you going to ban Groove is in the Heart, too?!
I missed all the kitties 🐈⬛ didn’t I? Looks around morosely -
I was trying to remember when "Pump Up the Jam" came out, I was thinking about 1990, so was close. The years seem to meld together the older I get.
I think I read somewhere that the song didn't chart in the US until 1990, so you really were spot-on :-)
I had it confused with "Pump up the Volume."
: /
Senior moment!
SAME HERE!
Uh oh ... Two competing ear worms. ... Kill me now.
Mmmm... jam.
Oh no, even with the very decreased frame rate that I chose to fix that? I’m sorry.

I hear you loud and clear. This is the eye equivalent of spraying Shan with perfume. I'm baffled as to why this is remotely debatable.
Thanks for your concern and feedback. I've slowed the images down. I hope that helps you.

Where is the story on Taylor Swift and the Golden Globes hiding? The site is designed to see headlines and not find anything.
Anyone seen RBB lately?

Ha. Joke Koy couldn't punch down on Taylor Swift if he was standing on a 5' ladder. "Insult comic" genre is more dead than Don Rickles.
Have you considered a “damp” January instead of a “dry” January?
No, because January is peak Texas ruby red grapefruit season and nothing beats a salty dog made with a freshly-squeezed one.
"Has Nextdoor gotten a little racist and gossipy?" I wouldn't say it's 'gotten' that way ...

How does one know that I've had a crazy morning at work? I haven't had the chance to even view Wonkette Tabs until literally just now.
I've only read the tab about the former representative lying in her own uncleaned bedclothes, so ... ugh.
