Jump jump through heaven. RIP Kriss.

So the “Kriss” of Kriss Kross died. Sad. I also would like to mention that somehow he stopped being a teenage boy and died at age 34… Soooo that is weird. I was pretty certain that he was still a pre-teen wearing backwards clothes.

This news has not rocked my life or anything, but it does make me sad. Kriss Kross provided a lot of awesome dancing times for all of us. And when I say dancing, I clearly mean jumping. Because even for the non-dancer peeps out there, you could fully participate in "Jump." Why? Because all you did was “jump-jump” with one arm in the air. It was a “we accept everyone” dance. You didn't need to be able to "Tootsie Roll," drop it like it was hot w/ Snoop or "Cha Cha slide" (and more specifically the Charlie Brown. Not that any of us knew what to do at that part). All you needed to do was jump!
(Click on that Snoop link and get sad at how beautiful Pharrell Williams is. Beautiful and engaged.)

So today in honor of Chris Kelly AKA Kriss, let’s remember the lesson he taught us, accept all dancing levels on the dance floor.

Never forget: “Kriss Kross will make you, jump jump. Booooyaaaaa”

This is not to be confused with "Jump Around" by House of Pain. Another great jumping song! And probably more heavily played at school dances than "Jump." BUT we do not discriminate jumping songs on this blog.

RIP Kriss. I hope the heavenly cloud jumping is off the hook.
