Pump Up the Jam is an anagram of 'Jump Up the Pump'.

This song was played five times in a row at the funeral of director Stanley Kubrick.

Techtronic's home planet, Earth, consists of 70% water.

If you isolate the individual drumbeats from this song and arrange them in a circle, it unlocks a cheat mode that allows you to pass through solid surfaces at will.

    When Pump Up the Jam was first broadcast, audiences feared it was real, and that jam would be pumped into their homes.

    The lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found.

    Technotronic got their name by combining the word 'techno', meaning a sort of dance music, and 'tronic' meaning 'tronic'.

    The original 12-inch release of Pump Up The Jam came with a free horse.

    At 7.16pm on December 28th 1879, Dundee's Tay Bridge collapsed as a train passed over it. 60 passengers lost their lives.

    Other musical acts whose names begin with 'T' include The Cure, The Isley Brothers, and The Velvet Underground.

    It shouldn't be overlooked that the initials of the song as PUTJ, which was the Myers-Brigg personality type (problematic-unfettered-thoughtful-judgemental) of the lead singer who was combating Foot-In-Mouth disease at the time.
