Coffee Break: Jump!

This morning, Jill spun The Pointer Sisters' "Jump (For My Love)" from their 1983 hit album Break Out for her Vinyl Tap pick.

According to co-songwriter Marti Sharron, the instrumental track was made first and when the lyricists heard it they jumped up and down, thus inspiring the lyrics.

So for our 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs do you want to hear that mention jump, leap, hop or spring in their lyrics?
