Jump Up, By Elvis Costello "Everybody's talking like they can't sit down And looking like they can't stand up It must be the lastest style And they've seen a lot of things that you never see Back on the mile, up to the hanging tree Some people can't keep their fingers clean Just clicking their heels to the beat of the scene Trying to keep careen until the first edition of last night's obituaries Jump up, hold on tight Can't trust the promise or a guarantee 'Cause the man 'round the curve says That he's never heard of you or me." Aw Heck, by John Prine. I'd run a mile, just to see her smile And put her lovin arms, around my neck Aw heck My spine starts a tingling, and bells start a ringling When she's with me, can't you see.

Suburban War, by Arcade Fire Now the music divides us into tribes You grew your hair so I grew mine You said the past won’t rest Until we jump the fence and leave it behind.

Combination of the Two - Janis Joplin Even though you've never been that doesn't mean you'll never be, You'll feel more, you'll feel more, you'll feel more. You'll sing around and dance around, and sing around and jump around, You'll feel more, you'll feel more, you'll feel more. Alright! "It's a turn-around jump shot It's everybody jump start It's every generation throws a hero up the pop charts Medicine is magical and magical is art The Boy in the Bubble And the baby with the baboon heart." - from Paul Simon's "Boy in a Bubble". | Welcome to Jump Because!

A wonderful JumpBecause story: Jump Because... For a Cause!
In June 2010, JumpBecause hosted a Potluck-for-a-Cause fundraiser to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. People brought amazing food, made fun crafts, participated in a raffle, and listened to great local music... and of course JUMPED! Check out the highlights of our fundraiser on the "Causes" page.
