Around a quarter century ago, Cypress Hill's DJ Muggs made a strange beat. It had a majestic intro from an old '60s soul record, and foregrounded an ear-piercing saxophone screech. The producer recorded it in his aunt's garage, and tried to pass it on to his groupmate B-Real, and Ice Cube, and even Special Ed, who all said no. So it ended up with House of Pain, Cypress' "brother band." "We were like, 'Give it to the white boys,'" remembered Cypress' Sen Dog. So House of Pain (Everlast, Danny Boy, and DJ Lethal) ended up with "Jump Around."

You know the story from there. The song came out in May of 1992, and became a phenomenon. It rocketed up to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, stayed on the charts for 30 weeks, and had people perpetually (and mistakenly) thinking Everlast was from Boston because he sported a Celtics jersey in the video. To this day, the track is a favorite at parties, ballgames, and anywhere else people want to, well, jump around.

To celebrate the song's iconic status—and to give you the perfect soundtrack for St. Patrick's Day—Everlast and Muggs have teamed up for a special "25 Year Remix" of "Jump Around."
