There is a clean version of the full-length album that edits out four words. "Ass" "ho" (two times) and "bitch." Perhaps your cassette single edits all these words, too. The CD single is unedited.

I've always wondered why record labels were so inconsistent throughout the '90s about making decisions whether to issue a clean or uncensored version of a song on commercial single. And then there are cases like "Jump Around" where the version isn't even consistent from one commercial single format to another.

aaron.........you're correct.........my cassingle edits out not only the word "ass" at the 1:15 mark but also the word "ho" at the 1:19 mark as well as the word "bitch" at the 2:25 mark...........i can't locate the second "ho" that you mention..........does anyone have the clean/editing full length cd that was apparently issued in 1992

Ed, the first "ho" is in verse one in the line "someone's talkin' junk, yo, I'll bust him in the eye, and then I'll take the punk's ho."

By the way, I have the clean full-length CD if you need this edit.

I wasn't even aware this was ever issued as a 45. Pretty cool! I have a cool story about "Jump Around". When I was in college, I was the music director of my campus station in San Francisco. Cypress Hill came by the station(November 1991) on a tour to promote their first album. DJ Muggs was talking about working with this new group featuring Everlast, who prior to House Of Pain was a solo artist on Ice-T's Rhyme Syndicate label. Muggs had a cassette of the then still unsigned groups' first single. We were one of the first stations in the US to play "Jump Around". About a month after that they were signed to Tommy Boy and completed recording their first album. A few months after that thanks to the buzz generated by support from the street, that record took off like a shot. By summer it was Top Five single across the country.

aaron.........i think you are mistaken on the 2nd "ho" in the song.........based on the lyrics below that "ho" is actually "home"......so we're fully clear on this......only 3 words are edited..........aaron.....check your clean full length cd to verify this.........edtop40

Jump Around Lyrics

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up
Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye
And then I'll take the punks home
Feel it, funk it
Amps it are junking
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking
Donuts shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops

[Chorus]

I came to get down [2x]
So get out your seats and jump around
Jump around [3x]
Jump up Jump up and get down.
Jump [18x]
I'll serve your ass like John MacEnroe
If your steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the bible's got psalms
And just like the Prodigal Son I've returned
Anyone stepping to me you'll get burned
Cause I got lyrics and you ain't got none
So if you come to battle bring a shotgun
But if you do you're a fool, cause I duel to the death
Try and step to me you'll take your last breath
I gots the skill, come get your fill
Cause when I shoot ta give, I shoot to kill

[Chorus]

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Try'n to play me out like as if my name was Sega
But I ain't going out like no punk bitch
Get used to one style and you know I might switch
It up up and around, then buck buck you down
Put out your head then you wake up in the Dawn of the Dead
I'm coming to get ya, coming to get ya
Spitting out lyrics homie I'll wet ya

[Chorus]
Jump [32x]

Yo, this is dedicated
To Joe, da flava, Dakota
Grag yo bozac, punk

Aaron, you mention that you have a clean version of the full length cd - can you pass along the record label and catalog number of that cd?

I just finished listening to every cd listed in the database that contains "Jump Around" and found only 1 that contains the censored cassette single version of this song. That cd is the soundtrack to "Ready To Rumble" 143 Records/Atlantic 83340 which is the clean version of this soundtrack release.

The clean CD is Tommy Boy TBCD 1064.

Ed, in regards to the lyrics...internet lyrics sites are often times inaccurate, as most of the time users submit what they think the lyrics are. I assure you, the lyrics are "take the punk's ho" and not "take the punks home." I sent you a copy of my clean CD version, and the first "ho" at 0:42 is edited out.

aaron.........the mp3 you sent is great.........it actually edits out the word "home" at the 0:42 mark thinking it was "ho"........unless the lyrics from the database i got them from was wrong.........can anyone confirm the correct lyrics????.........ok, so let's reveiw what we've discovered

edits are

"ho" or "home" at the 0:42 mark
"ass" at the 1:15 mark
"ho" at the 1:19 mark
"bitch" at the 2:25 mark

everyone agree?????

edtop40--The 45 I have I bought in '92 or '93 from Nina's Discount
Oldies catalog. The label says it's from 1992, and it's the same
Collectables that release all those re-issues and "Best Of's", with the
'Tommy Boy' and 'House Of Pain-Fine Malt Lyrics' logos. The label
also says 'Master Mix 3:37', and the B-side is the same.

Yeah, it's strange... but in general, the cassette single usually uses the "clean" version, where the CD single was often uncensored. Coolio's "1, 2, 3, 4" and "Fantastic Voyage" are two others that come to mind.

Thanks Ed. I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a 45 of "Jump Around" pressed back then. If there was one at all back then, it may have been for jukeboxes only. When Tommy Boy serviced us with the single, we got the 12" vinyl single and a promo CD single with the edited version that was mentioned. The 12" singles I received were packaged accordingly. The first one was pressed on black vinyl and came in a generic Tommy Boy sleeve. Then I was sent another on black vinyl, but in a title pic sleeve with the House Of Pain logo. This was the same one the commercial single was shipped with, but promos had a gold promotional stamp in the upper left hand corner. The third ones sent out were pressed on clear green vinyl in generic Tommy Boy sleeves. Later a fourth copy was serviced with remix versions as the song began climbing the charts.

Ed, did you check your cassette single again to confirm that "ho" at 0:42 is edited there, or do you have a unique edit different than the clean CD? I'm quite sure that it's not "home." For one, the line doesn't make much sense with "home." Everlast is talking about punching a guy who's trash talking, and then taking the guy's girl...or "ho." Taking punks home doesn't make any sense. Furthermore, "ho" is a better rhyme with "yo" than "home" is.

But that's really not the point anyhow. The point is that the cassette single (if we are deeming that the 45 version) is the censored "master mix" ... which is also the same as the censored LP version. (BTW, the "original mix" that appears on the CD single is a different mix than what appears on the album.)

FYI, for further proof that internet lyrics are wrong most of the time, check out all the mistakes in the first verse of the song above:

Pack it up, pack it in
Let me begin
I came to win
Battle me that's a sin
I won't tear the sack up I won't ever slack up
Punk you'd better back up
Try and play the role and the whole crew will act up
Get up, stand up, come on!
Come on, throw your hands up
If you've got the feeling jump across the ceiling Jump up, touch the ceiling
Muggs is a funk fest, someone's talking junk Muggs lets the funk flow
Yo, I'll bust em in the eye
And then I'll take the punks home And then I'll take the punk's ho
Feel it, funk it funkin'
Amps it are junking Amps in the trunk
And I got more rhymes than there's cops that are dunking cops at a Dunkin'
Donuts shop Donut shop
Sure 'nuff I got props from the kids on the Hill
Plus my mom and my pops

Bottom line: never trust internet lyric sites.
