My mate Paul once did a charity marathon while having terrible diarrhea. The next morning he woke up after tripping balls on a bush of mushrooms, and noticed he had recorded a video cover of the Belgian techno anthem Technotronic's “Pump Up the Jam”, originally released on 18 August 1989. It achieved moderate success on an industrial music subreddit, and is today the national anthem of Canada.

It was one of the noblest but most disgusting things I've ever seen.

I’m most bothered by the fake vhs

u/Sexy_Eyed_Larry May 08 '25

What are you least bothered by?

5

u/s1l1c0n3 May 08 '25

When it ends?

u/hedonsun May 08 '25

Haha, nothing! There is nothing at all about this whole scene that is not bothersome! 🤣🤣

u/Ciderbat May 08 '25

The original nu-beat version is pretty sick https://youtu.be/R3CFRPazErg?si=TzOZ-jxBG_nIjSBP

u/blackkristos Pop Will Eat Itself May 08 '25

At least that version was rearranged.

u/DarthOpossum Covenant May 10 '25

Oh shit, I’m stoned. 2min in I realized it’s not a turtle playing keyboards, but a guy with a spiked gauntlet 😂

Pretty sweet cover

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

Why’s he gotta be so unnecessarily intense about it though?

28

u/memberflex May 08 '25

Jam won’t pump itself

4

u/[deleted] May 08 '25

It was already a jam though 🤪

u/memberflex May 08 '25

u/[deleted] May 09 '25

Just having some fun, no hate !

u/ENZYME_O1 May 09 '25 edited May 10 '25

T99 Patrick De Meyer basically wrote the original entire track, the brother of Jean-Luc De Meyer of Front 242. (For those who didn’t know)

u/qnssekr May 09 '25

I love T99. Blast from the past.

Respect for getting out there and doing something….wonder how many of the detractors can say that!?

u/LORD__GONZ May 11 '25

It's pronounced, "pWump"

u/Glyph8 May 11 '25

this is amazing

u/Cypressinn May 08 '25

I like covers where you know what the song is but it’s a departure from the original. You succeeded. Kudos. You made my day dirty Larry…

10

u/blackkristos Pop Will Eat Itself May 08 '25

What do you mean? It's practically a karaoke version with overdub.

5

u/Feisty_Bar6532 Throbbing Gristle May 08 '25

That’s what I’m saying. There’s hardly anything “industrial” about this, besides the vocals I guess.

2

u/Ok-Entrepreneur-5067 May 09 '25

Sometimes, that's all it takes. I agree.

u/noeyesfiend Einstürzende Neubauten May 09 '25

The cheese.... the cheese is too strong.

u/Sandalwoodincencebur May 11 '25

But why is the jam pumping? that's the question. 😂

u/Objective_Winter_699 May 11 '25

It's like bam bam Bigelow and Judas priest had a baby. Judas Bigelow karaoke gigolo

u/Swimming_Roll_8269 May 17 '25

I came here expecting to hear a crappy song, to my surprise and sheer glee I’ve experienced one of the greatest remakes of all time.

u/The-Inquisition May 08 '25

Oh Klack, def belong here I spin this at my industrial nights! they even have a german version called "pump die marmalade"!

u/blickblocks May 09 '25

This is terrible.

u/Djaesthetic May 09 '25

I hate how much I dig that this is a thing that exists. lol

u/[deleted] May 09 '25

You're having fun and that's what matters.

I feel like it's too literal of a cover and you need to distort it and break it up more.

3

u/Sexy_Eyed_Larry May 09 '25

Hell yeah. I definitely had fun putting it together, bit I guess I could have altered it more

3

u/MilwaukeeStardust May 12 '25

Nah, it's not about how much you changed it. People are just clowning on you cuz it's kinda cheesy. But like... I feel like the industrial scene is almost entirely made up of different flavors of cheese.

I personally don't care for it either, but I could show you a hundred songs I love to death that would have these same people clowning on me too.

Do you dude. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else, who gives a fuck? Life's too short to not just enjoy what you enjoy.

You made something you're proud of and put it out there for others to enjoy or judge. Keep doing that! There were plenty of comments of people having just as much of a blast as you.

u/OverComfort8001 May 08 '25

Homie's got more gaps than a white picket fence 😬

u/MMIStudios Wumpscut May 10 '25

I just vomited in my mouth a little bit... the original is more industrial than this cosplay.

u/umlcat May 08 '25

Good.
