Every. Single. Time. Really hope this dude's still getting paid.
Seriously. The only time I listen to FM radio is when I take my wife's car to get an oil change. So maybe a total of twenty minutes driving time once every six months or so. Every single time, this song comes on. I don't get it. It was a one hit wonder from like 25 years ago. How is it still getting that much airplay?!

I just checked it out and I can tell you I’ve never heard this song before in my life.
So you are saying you don’t know what it’s like?
Man I hate to say this but it’s probably because you don’t listen to the late 90’s music… what I listened to the is now considered classic/retro. I fell you OP I hope he is still too.
I’m 43, late 90’s were my college days. I can guarantee you I listened to a lot or music back then.
This may have been popular in the US, but this is nothing like what my 90’s sounded like.
Same, maybe because I'm in the UK
ok
It was US alt rock, I dunno how well it traveled. It was one of the first songs (that I remember, anyway) to use sound effects to censor the dirty words on the radio edit, rather than a beep or mute. Which was actually a good idea, because it made it sound natural, like it was just part of the song.
It wasn't a bad song, I guess, I remember liking it well enough at the time. I just don't think it was a good enough song to still be playing as much as it is.
Song plays twice a day on the radio station my work is always tuned to. I only just learned awhile ago that Everlast is the same dude rapping in “Jump Around”.
@ilovededyoupiggy For me, it’s always Mr. Brightside by The Killers. I feel like they’re always playing that song on the radio, regardless of the time or place.
Yeah, that one has a lot of staying power too.
