Editorial Reviews:
|
A collection of well-known pop tunes, this record documents those ubiquitous tracks that have been played into the ground at nearly every sports facility in the country. Most, like "Whoomp! There It Is" and "Hip Hop Hooray," are undeniably catchy, and other tracks were downright splendid when they first appeared on the scene. Some even credit "Pump Up the Volume" with being a breakthrough for the electronic music scene of the late '80s and early '90s. Still, bringing musical innovation to light is not what the makers of this recording had in mind. It's all about the trashy glitz, fleeting glories, and mindless greed of late-20-century American sports. Revel in its dubious charms, and risk having your brains turn to mush while a permanent grin takes over your face. --Matthew Cooke

Summary: Pump It Up!!
Comment: I purchased this compilation in order to grab and audio clip for a sales meeting: "It's SHOWTIME, baby!!" and found the other selections equally energising. The CD has since become a favorite when making long, dreary drives...it certainly "pumps me up!"
Customer Rating:
Summary: LOVE IT! Timeless Songs!
Comment: This is a great CD whether you're old school or not. I use this when announcing basketball games and there is no better way to get everyone moving! The lyrics are clean too so no complaints!

Summary: A trip back...
Comment: I first heard this mix only very recently, in a long cab ride, and begged begged the driver to let me buy the disc from him. He refused, but let my friend run into his apartment and upload it into his iTunes. I have since bought the disc, and love it soooo much. It's upbeat, loads of fun, yes, great for cleaning the house to. But really, it brings me back to the days of middle school, going to school dances and buying cassette singles with my friends on the weekends...just being care-free and being a kid. I had been feeling nostalgic for those days lately and this disc captures my youth perfectly!

Summary: Great for Fitness Classes
Comment: I'm a PE teacher and my students LOVED doing circuit training to this CD. Every song is super upbeat. It really helped get my classes motivated. I wouldn't buy this CD for general listening music but for fitness it's definitely my favorite.

Summary: Have some respect.
Comment: This is not music. Have some respect. If you like this you are probably an idiot jock who thinks the middle east is somewhere near Kansas. Please America, wake up.
