Technotronic - Pump Up The Jam (Official Music Video)

Anyone else here in 2026? Pump it up!!

Guy in the orange tribal shirt was feeling this.

My wife and I walked into our wedding reception to this song after Philomena Cunk introduced us to the greatness of Belgium techno anthem, Pump up the Jam.

Fun fact: nobody involved in this clip has actually participated in the makings of the actual tune...

I was born in the 80s and have good taste in music; greetings from Colombia.

I wish they would have featured the actual artist and not a stand-in model. Classic

Did you guys know that the roman empire fell nearly 2000 years before the release of the belgian tecno anthem Pump Up The Jam!

I hope we are all still pumping up the jam in 2026 and for the forseeable future.

fun fact in the early 2000s this song blew up and got its popularity thanks to space jam with michael jordan...please take me back...this era...is actual shit...save me...god this makes me sad now...

Listening in 2026 after a breakup is crazy work ngl 😂😂 I could be in denial but who cares !! Let’s PUMP IT UP !!!!

Who in August 2026??

Interesting fact: If you listen to this song at night, it will be dark.

These were the best times to be alive

Fun fact: when this video was first aired people thought it was real and the jam would be pumped into their homes through the screen.

I just found out that the real singer isn’t even in this music video. Crazy. You can see her in the live version though. Love this song.

We should make a new calendar where we count the years from the release of the Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up The Jam

In the 2026 World Cup round of 16, Belgium eliminated the US by a score of 4 to 1... a Belgian domination of the US not seen since the release of Belgian techno anthem "Pump Up The Jam."

Interesting fact: people born in the middle ages were born hundreds of years before the release of the Belgian techno anthem Pump up the jam by the band Technotronic. Allegedly.

I was working, coding, really absorbed in my work. And then unrelated Belgian techno anthem “Pump Up The Jam” started playing, and I genuinely got hyped. It really pumped my jam.

Little did we know that 61 years after the discovery of Penicillin that the unrelated Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jams would become such a hit with the youth of the world.

Timeless. Still a hit in 2026 and will continue to be in year 3000

Fun fact: this songs lyrics give clues to the location of a buried golden hare that has never been found

PUMP UP THE JAM!

I love how there is just a random guy dancing in this video that has no lines, no context, and no back story. He's just there, pumping up the jam for us.

There is a pre- and a post-Cunk comment section of this video

Fun fact: Pump up the Jam is an anagram of Jam up the Pump

her absolutely blank facial expression makes it so much better...

This song opened the 90s.

This comment was made on Feb. 21, 2026, only 36 years after the release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.

this song predicted the housing crisis too

i want
a place to stay

The voice on “Pump Up The Jam” is Congolese–Belgian hip-hop artist Manuela “Ya Kid K” Kamosi. She recorded the vocals and wrote the lyrics as a member of Technotronic. The person in the video, though, is a model named Felly Kilingi - she lip‑synched to Ya Kid K’s vocals. Felly was used in the video and on early cover art to front the record visually. BIG LOVE to the OG Ya Kid K!

Indonesia gained independence from Japan exactly 44 years and 1 day before the release of Belgium techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam

It's crazy that this song was released before the fall of the Berlin wall.

Fact: Malaysia gained independence from the British rule 33 years before unrelated Belgian techno anthem “Pump up the Jam” was released

So sad that the Roman Empire would never be able to witness this piece of art

Before Pump Up the Jam was released in 1989, people didn’t know they could pump up the jam. Jams were mostly left unpumped, just sitting there in jars or on toast, completely lifeless. Some historians believe the song was a direct response to the Great Jam Deflation of 1872, when Britain’s jam reserves hit an all-time low due to excessive crumpet consumption.

It wasn’t until Belgian scientists—later known as Technotronic—discovered that jams could, in fact, be pumped up that everything changed. The song’s release led to a 300% increase in nightclub foot traffic, proving once and for all that music can influence global mobility patterns.

Today, Pump Up the Jam is recognized not just as a banger but as a crucial moment in history when humanity finally realized that toast alone was not enough.

Philomena is right this was the peak of Humankind

I was expecting some Cunk references in the comments. I was not expecting it to be almost all Cunk references.

crazy how this song is the only thing that didn't happen before or after the release of the Belgium techno album "Pump Up The Jam", just shows how truly significant it is to history

God bless Philomena for acknowledging the 1989 Belgian techno anthem Pump Up the Jam's rightful place in history.

The rising tensions between the protestant Dutch majority and the catholic Spanish rulers led to a war that would last 80 years, which resulted in the founding of the VOC, the most valuable company ever, in the year 1602.
This happened 387 years before the release of unrelated Belgian techno anthem Pump Up The Jam by Technotronic.

Don't let the phrase "God is dead" and the decline of religious authority distract you from the fact that 107 years later this masterpiece would be released.

My aunt Carol loved this song and the historical events that happened in between 😊

My mate Paul told me that, after this song came out, he started pumping up his jam like he had never pumped before.

I'm fully convinced the true purpose of Cunk on Earth was to promote and reintroduce this song to society. And I'm down with that. 🎉

Cleopatra didn't get to hear this song, and now she's dead. I'm hearing it RIGHT NOW and I'm still alive. I don't think I have to explain my point any further.

This song did not show up randomly in the algorithm, we all searched for it

Little known fact: This video’s color scheme ripped a hole in the fabric of spacetime so large the 1990s fell out.

This song is too modern for us still in 2024

As a Belgian, I just want to thank Cunk on Earth for the best marketing campaign a song has ever received.
