Jump by Van Halen when found out that it's about hanging yourself.
Well, I still like it but it's with a double feeling.
From genius.com : "The original inspiration for the lyrics came from David Lee Roth watching a person on TV who was threatening to commit suicide by jumping off of a building and Roth figured someone in the crowd must be thinking, “Go ahead and jump”. It was, however, not written about suicide – the song is about ‘jumping’ on the opportunity to hook up with someone."
Though I can see where you got that.
The lyric "I jump up and nothing gets me down" jumping off a stool/chair but because of the noose he doesn't get down.
But I can see your point.
Doesn't it say "I get up and nothing gets me down"? I always thought that sentence described being motivated and not letting anyone ruin your good mood.
We played this song in high school marching band lol
I thought it was about starting a fight, like jumping someone.
