"Jump (for my love)"

"Jump (for my love)" performed by the Pointer Sisters and released in 1983 received a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with vocal in 1985. The song was since used in a number of series and movies. In 2005 the original version was used in "Love Actually" while Girls Aloud came out with their own cover version of "Jump(for my love)" which portrayed scenes from "Love Actually" in their music video.

I always associated this song with "What a feeling" from the movie "Flashdance". It was released around the same time and it has that same energetic, powerful and motivational feel to it! You feel like you can jump leaps and bounds when you hear it.That motivation is needed right now as this is my second day on Weight Watchers , so far so good but I'm not ready to jump over to the treadmill just yet.

I've attached both versions of this song. The cover is pretty good but you know what I think of covers? Not many singers can come close to touching the original!
