So one of my favorite bands is the Pointer Sisters. (They have a lot of great music, one of their most famous songs being I’m So Excited.) I love that song!
But one of my other favorites that they do is Jump (For My Love). It was originally just Jump, but later changed to not be confused with Van Halen’s Jump.
It has a great beat that makes you want to dance and great lyrics.
Your eyes tell me how you love me
Can feel it in your heart beat
I know you like what you see
Hold me, I’ll give that you need
Wrap your love around me
You’re so excited, I can feel you
Getting hotter, oh baby
I’ll take you down, I’ll take you down
Where no one’s ever gone before
And if you want more, if you want more
More, more, more
Jump for my love
Jump in and feel my touch
Jump you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love
Jump, I know my heart can make you happy
Jump in, you know these arms
Can feel you up
Jump, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love
You told me, I’m the only woman for you
Nobody does you like I do
Then make a move before you try and
Go much farther, oh baby
You’re the one, you, you are the one
And heaven waits here at my door
And if you want more,
If you want more, more, more then
When you are next to me, oh I come alive
Your love burns inside
Feels so right
Come to me if you want me tonight jump
Jump if you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump, jump
Jump, you know my heart can
Make you happy
Jump, you know theese arms can feel you up
Jump in, you want to taste my kisses
In the night then
Jump, jump for my love
They don’t have the greatest music video, (it is very tame for being in the ’80s). This song came out right before the Olympics so to tie it in with that event they included a ton of footage of athletes.
Not interesting, but the Pointer Sisters have such great voices they make up for it. Anyways, as I am sure you all know by now, any time I have a post about a song there is a deeper reason behind it.
So the other day I was watching Love Actually, and there is this part where they play Jump (For My Love) and Hugh Grant dances around to it. Well, while I was watching it I couldn’t stop laughing because that is exactly how I dance to this song.
I mean I do everything he does. Haha. Hope you enjoy this video as much as I did.
Unfortunately, Hugh Grant hated that scene as he didn’t want to dance it and thought it made no sense, but I still enjoy it and it remains my favorite part of the movie.
