Mood: Energetic, rowdy, and aggressive party anthem
Structure: Verse-Chorus-Bridge
This analysis is based on the signature sound of the hip-hop group House of Pain, most famously defined by their hit song "Jump Around." The musical style is quintessential early 90s funk-infused hip-hop. The track is built upon a hard-hitting, sampled drum break and a deep, repetitive synth bassline in C# minor, creating a powerful and infectious groove. The most iconic element is the high-pitched, piercing brass sample (a trumpet stab taken from Bob & Earl's "Harlem Shuffle") that serves as the primary hook. This, combined with Everlast's aggressive, raspy vocal delivery and the inclusion of DJ scratches, results in a sound that is simultaneously a high-energy party track and a confrontational anthem.
