house of pain "jump around"

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.

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.

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.

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.
