Paul Anka - Jump 2005

Paul Anka - Jump 2005
Swing style
Original by van Halen 1983

I get up, and nothin' gets me down
You got it tough, I've seen the toughest around
And I know, baby, just how you feel
You got to roll with the punches and get to what's real

Ah, can't ya see me standin' here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Ah, can't ya see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Might as well jump
Go ahead an' jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump

Ow-oh! Hey, you! Who said that? Baby, how you been?
You say you don't know, you won't know until you begin

So can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
You see what I mean?

Ah, might as well jump. Jump!
Go ahead and jump
Come on jump.

You might as well jump. Jump!

(Instrumental)

Can't ya see me standing here
I got my back against the record machine
I ain't the worst that you've seen
Can't you see what I mean?

Might as well jump. Jump!

Might as well jump. Jump!

Go ahead just jump

Go ahead jump baby

Come on
Come on and jump, now!
Jump!

If I were a composer and my music is covered by different singers or in different music styles I will be more than pleased, specially if it is made with style and quality like this man just did !!! If I were David or Gallaher or any of them I will be pleased that because of Anka, many of the old people would hear and like the music I composed. Maybe my mother doesn't like JUMP or OASIS's songs but guess what!!! she loves Wonderwall or Jump PAUL ANKA's STYLE. It just ROCKS

[LongWayShout]

again.. a good cover =)

[JMarsh02639]

LOL @ "Knock yourself out!" I really like Van Halen's original version -- this version makes me appreciate it as a song that can be done in any style.

[leothelionator]

Great cover! The clever arrangement makes it sound as if it was always a jazz standard, narrowly missing the corny factor.

[BMFRaw]

How can anyone NOT LOVE THIS?! <3

[MegaKeith70]

David Lee who?

[elgonx]

Can totally see David on this! OK, maybe whit a little more whistle...

[jimtherat8]

Great cover.

[lob287]

Is this a fuckin joke?

[MrAbruer18]

@joynthis Yeah, definitely overly Caucasian, especially being a musical form developed by black Americans...

[Chibihalo2]

You know at first I was thinking he was a bit nuts for making the album(s) this came off of. Now I see he was a genius because he's exposing more people to the great lyrics contained in these songs, people who would otherwise not listen to the original because it's a rock song and not their cup of tea but Paul Anka and big band jazz swing just might be. And when other artists go contemporary and cover guys like Paul he stays swing and covers them.
