Comment:

Person I was making this for asked me to make something suitable for her to jump rope to. Oh dear - not exactly my specialty...but I decided I'd at least avoid obvious "dancey" tracks. Not sure how well it'll work (haven't sent it to her yet) but I like the way it sounds, sitting in my chair.

Some good songs that make you want to jump jump (sorry). Didn't Malcolm McLaren do a song about jump roping?

Best song ever with the jumping rope theme is "Skip a Rope" by Henson Cargill. Been trying to track it down for some time - I was turned onto the Ben Vaughn version. Of course, it would really fit in here - it's totally depressing.

I was going to throw in a version of "Skip a Rope." The only version I have is on a 45, though (by Eugene Chadbourne, of all people), and I was going to do a sort of "bootleg" mix & crossbreed it with Devo's "Whip It" - but my computer's messed up, and recording the 45 into a wave file would have been a major pain... I don't suppose there's an mp3 of Chadbourne's version floating around... (from a Ralph Records 45, 1986)?
