Talk:Pump Up the Jam

Vocals by Ya Kid K
Vocals by Réjane Magloire? Pretty long article but no info about who provided the vocals. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 18:12, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I think the album cover and video show Felly Kilingi, but she didn't actually sing? --82.136.210.153 (talk) 18:17, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Found it. It's Manuella Kamosi, aka Ya Kid K. Her name was printed on the disc but she never got any other credit. Sources: LA Times here ("Last summer, using Ya Kid's lyrics and vocals, he constructed "Pump Up the Jam," a [...]") Sydney Morning Herald here ("Congolese-Belgian vocalist Manuela “Ya Kid K” Kamosi completed the trio, but was initially overshadowed by Congolese model Felly, who featured on the album sleeve and in the film clip lip-synching the lyrics, [...]") Additional information here and here. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 18:33, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I have added the above information to the article. --82.136.210.153 (talk) 18:51, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

EBM

 * "The Belgian studio-based music project was a landmark release for EBM"

Wow. Seriously? EBM? This has nothing to do with EBM, besides the fact, that the godfathers of EBM Front 242 are also from Belgium. Soulman (talk) 11:28, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

Pomp
Why "Pomp Op tha Jeeaaaaam"? Is this the kind of Bronx accent that's popular in the Belgian Congo? Or what is it? 86.189.224.93 (talk) 17:55, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Looking at Ya Kid K, I'm guessing this is a Chicago accent mixed with a Dallas accent? But yes, it does sound a lot like the Bronx, doesn't it. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:59, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

Meaning
And what does it mean? Turn up the volume? Or something different? — Preceding unsigned comment added by HB Jepsen (talk • contribs) 01:18, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Perhaps something to do with the Women's Institute? Although Ya Kid K isn't really noted for her knitting or corn-dollies. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:30, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Vandalism? or Incompleteness?
Huge amount of info at Technotronic disagrees with what's here. If this song actually began as an instrumental and then had lines from Eddie Murphy's Delirious laid over it, we should source it and include that here. — Llywelyn II   22:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)

Apex of Human Achievement
Per Cunk on Earth. Bizarre it turns out to have been done by a white guy in Belgium instead of coming out of New York, LA, or Houston. — Llywelyn II   22:25, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I love Cunk on Earth as much as the next man, possibly much more, but come on. The song being mentioned in a silly mockumentary doesn't belong on this article. I have half a mind to delete it as irrelevant and unsourced.Riverhugger (talk) 01:32, 2 March 2023 (UTC)

The body of this song is sampled from a 1986 track: Move Your Body by Marshall Jefferson
Coming across this MARSHALL JEFFERSON - MOVE YOUR BODY [The House Music Anthem - YouTube ] it's blatantly obvious that Pump Up The Jam from 1989 samples this track (listen 1min 10 secs in to the youtube video linked). As it stands, there is no reference in this wiki page about this which is a glaring omission. This page needs to reference this background within the wiki page as it is the genesis of the track, without which it would not exist at all. Refer: Technotronic “Pump Up the Jam” | Insomniac for more info on the sampling of the original track by Marshall. 203.221.235.117 (talk) 23:34, 17 March 2023 (UTC)


 * chords are similar but they are not the same as the synth chords in PUTJ. 193.115.73.156 (talk) 14:54, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
