House of Pain came crashing through the door with "Jump Around" in May 1992, the first single from their self-titled debut album, and it does exactly what the title tells you to. DJ Muggs of Cypress Hill produced it, building a beat that turns any room into a trampoline, and the video took the party to New York City, cutting in footage from that year's Saint Patrick's Day parade.

It became a hit, climbing to number three in the US. Britain was slower to catch on: the first release there was only a minor hit, but a 1993 reissue went to number eight, and the song has since settled in as a UK club classic and a favorite of dancehall DJs. NME later ranked it 47th among the best songs of the 1990s, and Muggs himself went on to cover it.
